Thomas Drake: The NSA Whistleblower Who Inspired Edward Snowden | My Price Is My Life With James O'Keefe #15

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

Rep. Thomas Massie | My Price Is My Life With James O’Keefe #11

Congressman Thomas Massie stood with Jeffrey Epstein survivors at a historic press conference on Capitol Hill, demanding the full release of the Epstein Files. Those demands were echoed by allies from both parties.
According to Massie, Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a placebo resolution, billionaires are spending millions to crush him, and congress members whisper support in private but stay silent in public.
James O’Keefe showed Massie a preview of OMG’s DOJ investigation that confirmed the pattern of obfuscation that he has been seeing happen around the full Epstein files release.
But Massie isn’t backing down. He says the truth will come out, and when it does, D.C. will have to choose between protecting the powerful or standing with the survivors.

Roger Stone | My Price Is My Life With James O’Keefe #10

Roger Stone was one of the most recognizable political strategists in America. Then, before dawn on January 25th, 2019, the FBI surrounded his Florida home with armored vehicles, helicopters, and frogmen, while CNN cameras rolled.
He says prosecutors told him he could die in prison unless he agreed to testify against Donald Trump. Instead, Stone refused, endured what he calls a “show trial,” and lost nearly everything. Now, he reveals how the justice system was weaponized against him.
