He was promoted to the position of Washington editor for National Review in December 2012. While at National Review, he was a contributor for CNBC, appearing on The Kudlow Report, and for MSNBC.

During the United States federal government shutdown in 2013, Robert’s reporting on the Republican party in Congress was widely praised. He was called “the most important reporter in the country over the past few weeks” by The New Republic and Slate writer David Weigel called him “omnipresent.” New York magazine then called him “the golden boy of the government shutdown.”

Robert has not identified his political views publicly, saying only that he’s not on the “conservative team.” He has also cited Robert Caro and Tim Russert as influences.

“Trust is the commodity that matters,” Costa said via satellite.

“Guests love that I don’t interrupt. I pride myself in not interrupting. Guests know I really want to know what they know,” Costa said proudly.

As to the nuts and bolts of the weekly Beltway show, Costa spoke at some length about his new set, and explained, “you really can’t plan ahead for Friday night; every Friday there is a news alert. Sometimes there is news broken on the show.”

Asked his predictions for 2020, Costa said “my mantra is to assume nothing,” explaining to the crowd in the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel that just like the rise and fall “In Hollywood, or on television” you can never who will be hot and who not in an election that many months away. Pollsters are predicting a blue save, but President Donald Trump’s base still is “pretty strong” he said. Costa did assume, however, that voters will be highly engaged for the midterm elections this year, with Dems seeing real opportunity to take over the House and maybe even the Senate.

This was not big news to TV critics, who’d been listening to that chatter on news networks for weeks now.

One year earlier, when Costa first took to the TCA stage as recently named host of PBS’s long-running Washington Week as Anthony Scaramucci had just been sacked as Donald Trump’s communications chief, news of which caused TV critics to erupt in applause.

Today, those critics wanted Costa to reveal his diet tips, having lost a noticeable amount of weight. Was it a Worked To the Bone diet, one critic asked.

“I was on a Campaign Diet for the last 10 years, Costa confessed.

“I realized I was getting too tired,” he said.

“I woke up last year and said to myself, ‘Why am I eating a hamburger a day?’ I started taking a walk a day and drinking black coffee” instead of with cream and sugar. “And ever since I committed to that, and been the better for it.”

‘A front row seat to history’

WESTVILLE — Journalist Robert Costa says, “To understand the midterm elections in 2018 and to understand where we go in 2019, you have to understand, at some level, how we got here.”

After working for several news organizations, Costa is currently a national political reporter for The Washington Post and a political analyst for NBC news and MSNBC. He spoke at the Sinai Forum on Sunday at Purdue University Northwest.

Costa has garnered notoriety by breaking high-profile scoops on President Donald Trump, earning him the nickname the “Trump Whisperer.” He is also known for his work covering the 2013 federal government shutdown, which led to him being called “the golden boy” of the shutdown.

His success can be attributed to his willingness to report on stories that other reporters disregard, he said. He gave numerous examples of developing relationships with high-profile politicians years before they were in office, taking a special interest in them before the height of their careers.

“I covered the fringe of the fringe of the fringe, and they are now running the government,” Costa said.

They included acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker; co-chair of the Donald Trump campaign and key witness in the Mueller investigation Sam Clovis; former Alaska governor Sarah Palin; and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Costa created connections with them when other journalists assumed nothing would come of their stories.

“I have had a first row seat to history over the last 10 years, in a way that is almost surreal to me,” Costa said Sunday.

Although known for his rapport with Trump, he prides himself on reporting for all parties, and often reminds people about his early reporting on Bernie Sanders.

“The thing about being a reporter right now is, it’s a challenging time because institutionally, we are being challenged all the time. One of my missions as a reporter is to resist being politicized,” he said. “People crave real reporting that doesn’t tell them right or left, just tells them what is happening in this country. People care more when they know that there is no spin coming at them.”

Giving his observations on how the midterms played out, he explained that, although the Democratic Party gained the House majority, Dems did not do as well in the midterms as many had predicted.

Costa also touched on how results varied by population density.

“The Democrats have to come back in the Midwest. The Democratic Party is doing well in urban and suburban areas, but Republicans are as strong as ever in rural and ex-urban areas,” he said. “That’s the real national divide. This country is so divided in those rural/urban dynamics.”

He closed his remarks with a promise: “It’s an honor to be here at the Sinai Forum and it’s an honor to be a reporter in this country. I’ll just keep reporting and I promise you, I will keep assuming nothing.”
