00:00:29.000terms and conditions apply. The Trump DOJ has indicted and arrested taking the top Democrat
00:00:36.460from Virginia into custody on alleged drug trafficking, money laundering. The list is
00:00:43.440massive. Families are involved, illicit exchange of funds. This is not just some story about a
00:00:51.460perhaps not legal at the time dispensary and now legal dispensary. Todd Blanch came out in the
00:00:57.300press conference and said outright, this is something else. We're at just the sale of
00:01:02.440marijuana. We would not be here. But ladies and gentlemen, this is something else. I believe that
00:01:09.760this is the Trump DOJ striking at the deep state. I'm going to give you my full hypothesis. I don't
00:01:17.360even say theory. I'm just entertaining the possibilities and the plausibility. I believe
00:01:22.260that Donald Trump gets into office, Elon Musk comes in. They drop a nuclear bomb into USAID
00:01:28.220with Doge, gutting the funding mechanism for these color revolutions, intelligence agents
00:01:34.900and ideologues that flip countries and interfere in politics abroad. The problem was they started
00:01:41.300doing it here to Donald Trump. So they nuke USAID. We've now learned from Data Republican
00:01:47.660with an expansive amount of reporting coming from various sources that these individuals from USAID
00:01:53.760are now working with activists to foment a civil war. Hey, not my words. A letter was sent to a
00:02:02.080Democratic congresswoman in Grand Rapids with white powder in it referencing the coming civil
00:02:06.840war. The theory is, according to these documents, these individuals who formerly were with USAID
00:02:12.880are trying to foment a color revolution here in the United States. They want to engage in0.67
00:02:17.460riding to such a degree that Donald Trump has no choice but to invoke the Insurrection Act,
00:02:22.380for which they can then claim he's illegitimate and Democrat governors can break from the federal
00:02:28.260government. Yes, not a joke. That's the reporting. So these individuals at USAID, who I think it's
00:02:36.080fair to say were going after Donald Trump in his first term, Trump comes and nukes them. This is
00:02:40.880deep state HQ. But these individuals basically operate out of northern Virginia. We saw that
00:02:46.900weird redistricting effort they tried to do, where they wanted to center all of their districts,
00:02:51.140or at least most of five of them, into one small space around Alexandria. This is Deep State HQ.
00:02:57.460It's where they have massive mansions. It's where prominent intel individuals all lived,
00:03:02.340and their lawyers and their NGO friends. What are we seeing now? I fully believe that the real play
00:03:09.300here is go after prominent Virginia Democrats. Arrest them however you can. You see, Donald Trump
00:03:18.780faces a lot of criticism because he's not going after these Democrats. People are saying, why
00:03:23.300isn't Schiff in jail? Then what do we see? Bill Pulte, of all people, gets the criminal referral
00:03:30.900on mortgage fraud for Letitia James and Adam Schiff. And we're not seeing much action there.
00:03:36.280people are upset, but it looks like this is it. I don't believe for a second the DOJ wants to come
00:03:42.700out two weeks from a midterm and say the top Democrat in Virginia is a drug trafficker.
00:03:47.960It's just, no, I got to be honest. Even the press, when they were doing the press conference,
00:03:53.860were like, is this really warranting a press conference? I mean, and well, yeah,
00:04:00.120a powerful Virginia Democrat being taken down. I think this lady is a perceived deep stater.1.00
00:04:06.040I believe she's probably corrupt. And I think what we're actually seeing right now,0.63
00:04:10.860the DOJ is not going to come out and say, for political reasons, we're arresting this person.
00:04:15.480They're not going to come out and say this individual contributed to a conspiracy against
00:04:19.140Trump. Why? There's several reasons. One, it's hard to believe for most people.
00:04:22.620You want to go after somebody with hard charges. Hey, look, don't look at me. It's not political.
00:04:27.220She was trafficking drugs. Hard to argue politically. The other issue is that you1.00
00:04:33.000want to maintain U.S. legitimacy. You don't want to tell people around the world that the U.S.
00:04:39.180is undergoing an elite internal civil war. So you say, this is just routine police work.
00:04:46.120She was doing crimes and we caught her. But let's break this story down and see where we are at. I
00:04:52.100do believe this is exactly what many Republicans were asking for. They're going after the deep
00:04:58.240state. Will they be effective? Will they win? I don't know. But let's get into it, my friends.

00:05:55.960powerful Virginia Democrat and alleged drug scheme. They say Luis Lucas, a powerful Virginia
00:06:00.500state senator and vocal Trump critic who played a central role in the state's redistricting effort
00:06:04.720last year, was taken into federal custody Thursday and charged in connection with an
00:06:08.820alleged bribery and racketeering scheme. According to a 45 page indictment filed in the Eastern
00:06:14.660District of Virginia. Lucas and six other co-defendants are charged with conspiring to
00:06:19.440distribute and possess marijuana, conspiring to launder money, laundering money and committing
00:06:24.440bribery by distributing large quantities of illegal marijuana under the auspices of her0.90
00:06:29.860legal medical cannabis business. Lucas, 82, surrendered to law enforcement on Thursday
00:06:35.760morning. She faces five of the eight charges included in the indictment. Lucas is set to
00:06:40.820make her initial appearance before a federal magistrate judge Thursday afternoon.
00:06:44.660The charges come nearly six months after federal law enforcement searched Lucas's office in a shop called the Cannabis Outlet that she co-owns in Portsmouth, Virginia.
00:06:54.060One source familiar with the investigation told CBS News at the time of the search that the investigation started during the Biden administration.
00:07:01.220Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia alleged in the indictment that since at least 2019, Lucas has been the leader of the scheme
00:07:09.360and used her political influence in Virginia to enact legislation and regulations
00:07:13.580to financially benefit herself and co-defendants,0.98
00:07:16.640as well as insulate the alleged criminal enterprise from state law enforcement.
00:07:21.540Lucas allegedly directed the enterprise to buy and sell over 100 kilos of illegal marijuana.
00:07:28.540She was indicted alongside her daughters, Lisa Lucas Burke and Teresa Lucas Lamb,
00:07:33.660and grandson, Ryan Eichelberger, in addition to other co-defendants.
00:07:37.780In a statement, Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the charges against Lucas and her co-defendants reveal the behavior of a public servant who will put her own financial interests before the people she was elected to serve.
00:07:49.880Medical marijuana can be sold by licensed dispensaries in Virginia, and people can possess a certain amount for personal use.
00:07:57.220The state is set to launch regulated retail marijuana sales next year after the Virginia legislature legalized the sale of recreational cannabis in July.
00:08:07.620Lucas sponsored a legislation bill in the state Senate in 2021 and has supported other measures decriminalizing marijuana, according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
00:08:18.720Prosecutors claim that in 2023 and 24, Lucas was issued violation notices from the state's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services related to the cannabis outlet for selling cannabis products that did not comply with state law.
00:08:31.380My teammate says he plays pickup basketball, quote, for the cardio.
00:08:36.060Well, there's more to it than that, Sean.
00:08:39.620Like with Bet365, I get paid the second my team goes up big with early payout
00:08:43.580and can cash out at any time before the game ends.
00:08:46.420Sean's getting his steps, but I'm getting paid.
00:11:17.900Let's see if we're going to get the, is it going to load properly?
00:11:21.000Or is it going to give me the business?
00:11:22.220i mean it's just plum not loading streets of our cities so it is a resource choice that that was
00:11:31.740made that is that we're not making so do you have any handle now being in the job sitting in i guess
00:11:39.360the office that once was merrick garland yes do you have any insight into why he did it or was it
00:11:46.480his deputies, Lisa Monaco, for instance? I think it was both, but I also think it was the White
00:11:53.200House. So there was this misperception that there's this separation and independence
00:12:00.180between the Department of Justice and the White House. And everybody likes to champion that. And
00:12:04.760they accuse me of not suffering from independence. I don't. I work for President Trump. But they did
00:12:11.020too. They did too. So this idea that Garland was just on his own making decisions independent of
00:12:17.460what the Biden administration wanted him to do is not true. And by the way, I'm not being critical
00:12:21.340of that. What I'm being critical of is the lie that he was independent. He wasn't. And so the
00:12:27.020White House wanted him to do exactly what he was doing and he did it. And we have a lot of power.
00:12:32.520The Department of Justice, the Attorney General, the FBI, DEA, Marshals, ATF, DHS, we have a lot
00:12:39.460of power. And so power should be used to, when it comes to my job, to making every community safer
00:12:48.060than it was the week before. And that's what I tell every prosecutor I meet with, every agent I
00:12:54.700meet with. And I'm not sure that that was said during the last administration very often, because
00:13:00.160when you see the historic drop in crime, that's amazing. It's great.
00:13:05.140The murder rate, the violent crime is down.
00:13:07.720Indeed, indeed, they've done a great job. But I think the message is clear and I think it's fair to say I do not see the DOJ going after the Virginia top Democrat in deep state HQ as a, well, she was just selling drugs. No, I think that's what they got her on. Show me the man. I'll show you the crime. Don't get me wrong. Seems like she committed crimes. The point is, these are the things that normally get overlooked by powerful political elites.

00:18:29.620Trump says he could still go after the Clintons and Obama to destroy their reputations.
00:19:08.860Well, the president continued. I could have done numbers on Barack Hussein Obama. Still could. I
00:19:13.500still could. I could do big numbers if I wanted to. I turned down going after Hillary Clinton.
00:19:19.520Finnerty asked Trump what he meant by big numbers. And the president noted he could go after them
00:19:24.860criminally or destroy their reputations. Pressed on whether he will pursue the former government
00:19:29.840officials. Trump signaled he probably would not, but he did mention the possibility he could be
00:19:34.320impeached a third time. I guess not, probably not. But I think if they impeach me again, he said,
00:19:39.960the president and his administration have been criticized for criminal investigations and
00:19:43.480prosecutions of Trump's perceived political opponents. The DOJ pursued charges against
00:19:47.440New York Attorney General Letitia James, who won a civil suit against Trump when he was out of the
00:19:51.840White House. Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted twice, once last year and again in 2026.
00:19:57.880Comey's first indictment was dismissed after a judge ruled the prosecutor was unlawfully appointed.
00:20:03.660The DOJ also pursued a case against six Democratic lawmakers who filmed a video instructing members of the military not to follow illegal orders, but a grand jury refused to indict them.
00:20:11.920The Trump admin has investigated others, including Schiff, Jerome Powell, Lisa Cook.
