Former federal prosecutor Robert Costello testified Wednesday before Congress that disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen—the star witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump—told him he had “nothing truthful” implicating Trump in a crime. Costello, who advised Cohen when he became the subject of an investigation by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, told the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that Cohen is now on a “revenge tour” against Trump and lacks credibility. His testimony challenges claims Cohen made on the witness stand during Trump’s Manhattan trial. Cohen testified Monday that Trump both directed him to pay for a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels and approved of the plan to reimburse him for the payment, which underlies the the charges of falsifying business records at the center of Bragg’s case. Cohen testified Tuesday that Costello told him he could set up “back-channel” communications with Trump through his friend, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and the jury saw emails the two exchanged in which Costello suggested he could relay messages to Trump. Cohen claimed that he never told Costello “the truth” about Trump’s involvement in the Daniels payment because he did not believe Costello could be trusted. However, Costello told the House subcommittee Wednesday that he advised Cohen in 2018 that he could “get him out of his legal troubles by the end of the week” if the former Trump lawyer had truthful information implicating Trump. But, Costello testified, Cohen told him he didn’t have anything. “I swear to God, Bob, I don’t have anything on Donald Trump,” Costello said Cohen repeatedly told him. Michael Cohen’s former lawyer, Robert Costello, just revealed that Cohen has NOTHING on President Trump. “I swear to God, Bob, I don’t have anything on Donald Trump.” pic.twitter.com/po8A7WWzGj— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) May 15, 2024 “Throughout this two-hour interview, Michael Cohen made clear that this payment to Daniels was his own idea, designed to try and get him back into the inner circle of Trump people in Washington,” Costello testified. “Now, after going to jail, Michael Cohen is on a revenge tour because he blames Donald Trump for the loss of his law license and the fact that he did go to jail,” Costello said. “The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York saw this and acted properly. The Manhattan district attorney took a different route to become famous and to ‘get’ Trump.” Costello also spoke more broadly to “lawfare” against Trump, stating that he has “never seen the types of politically motivated cases that have been brought in this presidential election season” in his 51 years as a lawyer: Understand that to destroy a political rival, you need not convict that person of a crime, all you must do is leak the fact that the individual is being investigated for a particular crime, thereby destroying his or her reputation and causing that individual to incur legal fees to defend themselves. The net result is, if you can destroy their reputation and bankrupt them with legal fees, you have effectively eliminated or cancelled your opposition without ever convicting them of a crime or getting a civil judgment against them. Cohen is set to take the stand again Thursday to continue cross-examination by Trump’s defense team.

The trustees for Social Security have just issued their annual report. And, as we have learned annually over recent years, the system cannot meet its obligations. According to this latest report, the Social Security system will not be able to meet its obligations to retirees by 2035. In 2035, the system will be adequate to meet just 83% of its obligations. This is supposedly good news because the projected shortfall occurs one year later than reported last year. But the change simply reflects the fact that the system is so massive—it’s the single largest government program, with annual expenditure of $1.2 trillion—that small changes in assumptions in the planning model produce big changes in the projected results. Young people today start working and immediately have 6.2% of their paycheck deducted in payroll tax for Social Security, with their employer matching this with another 6.2%—all paid into a system that is bankrupt. Our political leaders, to the extent they choose to speak about this issue, reiterate their commitment to “save the system.” But “saving the system” means just taking a bad situation and making it worse. Who wants to “save the system” by raising taxes, raising the retirement age, or cutting benefits? Many still believe that Social Security is some kind of retirement investment program, but it’s not. It is a government tax and spending program. Individuals are forced to pay the payroll tax. And those payroll taxes are used to pay retirement benefits for those currently retired. Even if you think this is a good idea, it no longer works. When the system began in the 1930s, there were over 40 working Americans per retiree. Today, because of longer life spans and declining birthrates, there are just a little over three working for each retiree. Workers’ taxes soon won’t be enough. I have been writing for years that the system should not and cannot be saved, and I make this same declaration now. It is quite reasonable for the government to insist that individuals take steps to secure their future in retirement. But it is not reasonable for government to step in and take away an individual freedom on how to take care of themselves. Individuals should be allowed to take ownership of the payroll tax they are forced to pay and use these funds to invest in their own personal retirement account. The benefits of giving individuals freedom to take ownership of their own earnings and invest are huge. For one thing, putting funds into the equity markets over a 45-year working life yields far higher returns than Social Security provides. In one study, done a number of years ago at the Cato Institute, they looked at a theoretical average-income couple that retired in 2009, one year after a huge crash in the stock market. Despite a 37% market decline in 2008, the cumulative returns they received since they started investing when they were 21 in 1965 yielded savings of $855,175. This is based on the actual market returns over those years, not theory. This is 75% more than what they would have gotten from Social Security, per the study. Lack of ownership in stocks greatly accounts for the huge difference in household wealth between black households and white households. Whereas, per the Federal Reserve, 65.6% of white households own stocks, only 39.2% of black households do. As a result, average household wealth in assets among white households is approximately $1.5 million compared to $297,000 among black households. Plus, investing gives everyone “skin in the game” to limit government and keep our American system of capitalism alive and healthy. No move could do more to restoring economic vitality and individual freedom in our country than transforming our broken Social Security system into a nationwide personal investment program.

Jack Dorsey, the founder and former CEO of Twitter (now X), admitted that Twitter’s relationship with the government was (and potentially still is) “problematic.”  Mike Solana, editor-in-chief of Pirate Wires, sat down for an interview with Dorsey, and the pair discussed some of the problems that arise from governments worldwide attempting to censor speech on social media. Since the release of the Twitter Files, there has been much scrutiny surrounding the relationship between Big Tech and the Federal Government. Dorsey called the collusion between these entities “problematic.” However, he also claimed, unbeknownst to the public, that there was some pushback from Twitter employees to the government’s censorship instructions. “I also don't think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests,” Dorsey said. “The U.S. is certainly one of them.” The U.S. government was by no means the only government hounding Twitter and now X to censor.    According to Dorsey, Twitter (now X) has traditionally complied with government censorship requests to some extent. However, he alleged that Musk is more willing to ban accounts at the request of foreign governments.  There are certain loopholes, however.  “You can take the content down within the country, but it's still available to the rest of the world,” said Dorsey. “But if someone in that country has a VPN, they can still see it. And I think governments are wise to this now, so today they're asking to take content down in every single market.”  Dorsey cited the recently relevant example of Australia. “But what you saw with Australia recently, is the prime minister asked Twitter and Elon to take some content down everywhere, instead of just within the Australian market,” Dorsey said. “I think you'll see more and more of that stuff.” When asked if there’s a chance social media companies will survive this effort, Dorsey said, “There’s absolutely no way.” He added, “You’ll have phases, but that doesn’t exist forever. Elon will fight in the way he fights, and I appreciate that, but he could certainly be compromised. Or something could happen to him, and then what happens to the whole platform?” Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on hate speech and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

President Biden has challenged former president Donald Trump to not one but two presidential debates. The challenge was initiated when Biden released a 13-second video, which Stu says contained “five jump cuts” because he “could not get through the whole thing.” “Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020, and since then he hasn’t shown up for debate. Now, he’s acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I’ll even do it twice. So, let’s pick the dates, Donald. I hear you’re free on Wednesdays,” Biden said in the short video. “When did the presidential debates become MMA?” Glenn asks. “At least MMA fighters typically look like they could walk to the stage,” Stu jokes before explaining what’s actually going on. “Joe Biden challenges Donald Trump to two debates,” he says, “this is not what is happening at all. We, of course, have a Presidential Commission for debates set up that has been set up and has been going on for a very long time. They were planning on having three debates.” This would make Biden the first candidate since the Commission was founded in 1987 to avoid the Commission. Biden also wants the first debate to be much earlier than usual, which would be before the Democratic National Convention. “You know why this is happening?” Glenn says. “A: You do it in the fall, it’s going to be Michelle Obama. And B: The most important is it will be so far in the past. You don’t want to have a bad impression of a debate in October or September.” Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
