"Eventually, government catches up with that. But communities like this are never really on the first end of feeling the effects of the assistance from the government.

He often puts in 60 hour weeks, but he says given the general state of things around here, he's expecting those weeks will get even longer. Martin costy, NPR news, Fort Myers. And now to Washington, D.C., where the biggest trial so far in the investigation into the attack on the U.S. capitol is underway. The founder of the oath keepers extremist group and four others are charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with January 6th. Jurors heard opening statements today as did NPR's Ryan Lucas. He's on the line now from the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., hi Ryan. Hi there. So there is a lot of interest in this trial and as I mentioned you were in the courtroom today. Can you give us a sense of what the scene was like there? So like other January 6 trials, this one is at the federal courthouse just down the street from the capitol. But this trial is different in that it is the most significant one so far from January 6th. And it's significant because of who's on trial, a 5 members or associates of the oath keepers, including the group's founders Stuart Rhodes, but it's also significant because these individuals are charged with seditious conspiracy. They're accused of plotting to use force to prevent Joe Biden from taking office. As for the scene today, people lined up this morning to get into the courtroom. There was enough space for everybody, but the courtroom was full, although they did have the air conditioning cranked up I have to say so it is chilly inside. But to give you a sense of the importance of this case, the head of the Justice Department's national security division was in the front row this morning to listen to the government's opening statement. Um, interesting. Okay, so what did the government say to open its case for the jury? So assistant U.S. attorney Jeffrey nesler opened for the government he spoke for just over an hour and 20 minutes and he began by reminding jurors that the peaceful transfer of power has been a bedrock, he said of American democracy for more than 200 years. And the 5 defendants on trial, he said, concocted a plan for an armed rebellion to shatter that bedrock. He called their actions, quote, an attack on the country itself. Now, Nestlé used videos and excerpts from text messages and audio recordings to illustrate and try to show the jury how roads and the others conspired. And I'll say the jury was paying very close attention to those. Most of them were taking notes throughout. One of the videos showed some of the some of the defendants in tactical gear, marching in military style up the steps into the capitol on January 6th. Now, Stuart wrote himself did not go in the building, nestler said roads instead was outside, like a general, he said, organizing coordinating and surveying his troops storming the building. Okay, so that's what the prosecution said, Ryan, but what did you hear from the defense today? Well, one of Rhodes's attorneys Philip linder went first and he urged jurors to keep an open mind. He said roads meant no harm to the capitol on January 6th, said rose had no violent intent. Linder said that the oath keepers are basically a peacekeeping force you described them. And he said they were in D.C. that day to provide security and he argued that the government has taken videos in text and audio recordings out of context. He and attorneys for two other defendants Jessica Watkins and Thomas Caldwell also pushed back against something that the government has emphasized. And that's a quick reaction for us or QRF. The government says the oath keepers had a QRF with guns in Virginia on January 6th ready to rush into central D.C. if necessary. The defense attorneys say, no, this was not a unit to overthrow the government. It was purely a reactive, purely a defensive force. And Ryan, as we look ahead here, what can we expect next? Well, the jury heard testimony from the first witness today who was an FBI agent. That's just the beginning we expect around 40 witnesses and all in the government's case in chief. This trial is expected to last four to 6 weeks, so we've got

"What to know about the oath keepers, seditious conspiracy trial by Vera Bergen grew in. In the most high profile January 6th case yet, the founder of the far right oath keepers militia and four other members are facing charges of seditious conspiracy in a significant test for the Justice Department, which is seeking to successfully prosecute the rare charges for the first time in 30 years. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the oath keepers and ten fellow members of the group are alleged to have conspired to use force to prevent the certification of president Joe Biden's electoral victory. The charge carries up to 20 years in prison. Jury selection began on September 27th with opening arguments currently slated to start this week. The trial is expected to last more than a month. A second trial for the remaining co defendants is scheduled for November. Here's what to know about the case. What will the prosecutors argue? As they cast the January 6th assault on the U.S. capitol as an attack on American democracy, prosecutors will be able to draw on the extensive documentation of the attack, including thousands of hours of footage. They are also likely to point to Rhodes's call for an armed Civil War to keep former president Donald Trump in power. Prosecutors allege that members of the oath keepers organized, trained and equipped themselves months before January 6th, 2021. We aren't getting through this without a Civil War. Too late for that, prepare your mind, body, spirit, roads, privately message a group of oath keepers in an encrypted app on November 5th, according to his indictment. On January 6th, the group of oath keepers went to the capitol ready to answer Rhodes's call to take up arms, according to the indictment. They coordinated their actions on that day using encrypted messaging apps, hand signals, and walkie talkies, and several were photographed wearing tactical vests, helmets, and other equipment as they breached the doors of the capitol rotunda. What will the defense argue? The rare charges are expected to be met with an even rarer defense. Roads as lawyers have indicated they will argue that he believed Trump was going to lawfully invoke the insurrection act, an 1807 statute that allows the president to call up militias in the case of national emergencies. What the government contends was a conspiracy to oppose United States laws, was actually lobbying and preparation for the president to utilize a United States law to take lawful action. Philip linder and James bright rode attorneys argued in a court filing. Who is Stuart Rhodes, a 57 year old former army paratrooper and Yale law school graduate, Rhodes founded the oath keepers in 2009. He focused on recruiting current and former military and law enforcement officers into the self styled militia, which encouraged members to consider themselves as the last line of defense against tyranny, according to oath keepers recruiting materials. The motto of the organization, not on our watch, as well as its informal slogan, guardians of the republic, emphasized the idea that members of the oath keepers are being called on to defend the country against a perceived threat. A roster of 38,000 members which leaked last fall revealed dozens of elected officials as well as large numbers of police officers, sheriffs and military in the group's ranks. Prosecutors have alleged that Rhodes and fellow oath keepers ultimate aim is to undermine the U.S. government, which they see as having been co opted by a cabal of elites, actively trying to strip American citizens of their rights in the words of one indictment. What are the stakes of the trial for the government?
