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.
