there was one street in broward county oakland park boulevard that had 31 different pain clinics on theorida state attorney dave aronberg's office prosecuted barry schultz. he told us pain clinics were loosely regulated medical offices where patients could pick up pills, usually for cash... few questions asked. >> aronberg: you could get the prescription and get the drug right there on the spot. one-stop shopping. people would race down to florida, because we didn't have the same controls as other states. we fed the entire nation's addiction. >> whitaker: this mob scene, shot on a cell phone in 2009, is inside a florida pain clinic-- dozens of patients waiting to get their opioids. schultz operated a clinic like this in delray beach, where he treated thousands of patients. how would you describe dr. barry schultz? >> aronberg: he was one of the most notorious drug dealers we had. he prescribed an egregious amount of pills to his patients. the numbers would shock the conscience. >> whitaker: d.e.a. records show in 2010, one patient of dr. schultz was prescribed nearly 17,000 of the highe

the judge, to his credit, in broward county, was willing to treat the steroid possession as a far could theeck possession. and give him drug court treatment. and while that's not true therapy, we were hoping that a 12-step program, some attention, might get him on the right direction. sadly, it didn't seem to help. currently the family is distraught. i was with the mother at the hospital. she was getting surgery this morning and woke up to find her son was arrested. her emotions are varied. she's angry at him for doing this. she is a true lover of democracy, of america, she serves on local boards. she's been an active democrat all her life. i met her in the democratic circles 20 years ago and she's shocked her son has done what he's done. she feels sorry for the victims and the fear he's imposed on them. and she's sad. >> we've seen the pictures of the van with the pictures and the signage. when you knew him, did he seem politically active? did the subject of politics come up? we understand he didn't get registered until 2016. >> just the opposite. he had no interest in politics then. h

postal service sorting facility, that is where all mail going into south florida, broward, miami-dade and monroe counties and all mail going out of those counties to go elsewhere in the country goes through this place. 500 yards wide and long, like five football fields. that's where federal investigators expected the packages went through. the homeland security secretary said several bombs did go through the sorting facility. last night they brought in dog-sniffing teams with the miami-dade police and fbi and they did find package number 11 addressed to u.s. democratic senator cory booker. that had not yet gone out to booker's address. it was still being sorted and held here in miami-dade county. charles? >> thanks, phil. meanwhile, the fib director saying "we're not out of the woods yet." could there be more devices? here with us, agent dan ammons. it stands to reason that we should all be on guard and i think the fbi director really trying to drive home that point. >> that's absolutely correct, charles. you have to assume there's more out there. and in this particular case, the fbi'
