In this episode of My Price Is My Life, James O’Keefe sits down with former Congressman Madison Cawthorn, the youngest member ever elected to Congress, for one of his most personal and unfiltered interviews to date.

Cawthorn opens up about the infamous claims of “cocaine and congressional orgies,” blackmail, his battles with political leadership, the corruption he witnessed in Washington, and his near-fatal car crash that reshaped his life. From surviving the media smear machine to rediscovering faith, purpose, and courage, this is a conversation about power, truth, and redemption in modern America.

What happens when you blow the whistle from inside one of the most secretive intelligence agencies in the world?

Thomas Drake was a senior executive at the NSA who exposed illegal mass surveillance on Americans, government waste, and deep corruption after 9/11. For telling the truth, the U.S. government charged him under the Espionage Act - the same law used against spies. Edward Snowden famously said, "If there hadn't been a Thomas Drake, there couldn't have been an Edward Snowden."

In this powerful interview with James O’Keefe on My Price Is My Life, Drake reveals:

- The truth about NSA wiretapping and mass surveillance

- How taxpayer money was wasted on the failed Trailblazer program

- Why Edward Snowden called Drake his “warning”

- What it’s like when the FBI raids your home for telling the truth

- And the real cost of whistleblowing in America today

Listen to the end for an inside look at how the intelligence community turned on one of its own
