fema for hours. and that is what president biden will hear as he arrives here in ponce in just a short time. he is set to speak and take part in a community event packing supplies for some of these hardest hit regions. the southwest side of the island there is an urgent effort to restore power. we spent the modern with crews from the private company that took over power transmission on the island. they were trying to restore power to neighborhoods in ponce. it's these rural areas in the mountains that are having a very difficult time more than two weeks after the storm, chris >> gabe gutierrez, thank you for that. and i want to bring in the fema assistant administrator for field operations. let me start with what we just heard. two weeks after the hurricane hit in puerto rico and the president acknowledged they haven't been paid enough attention to. people are desperate, on the phone, waiting and waiting and

democracy and the integrity of an election and not letting it be overturned. the other implication is legal. i keep reading this will potentially set the stage for other prosecutions. talk, glen. if you want to jump in, ken, feel free to. why is this so important for cases moving forward, glen. >> yeah, chris. as ken said it is not off the federal prosecutors bring seditious conspiracy charges. the last time was about 12 years ago out in michigan. and the charges didn't even make it to the jury. that's not a good sign. the judge dismissed those charges. so this is a real test for the department of justice. based on the facts and the evidence they have. are they going to be able to prove that this group of five defendants on trial entered into an agreement to commit crimes, specifically to try to violently

overthrow the government. and i will tell you watching jeff nessler's opening statement this morning, they have a really powerful case. i was impressed they are introducing the words of the defendants themselves. when they said things like, we are taking the capitol. and then after it was all over they said, we took the capitol. and seditious conspiracy can be proved if you seize the property of the united states. even if only temporarily without authority. so at least early on it seems to be a pretty compelling case for the prosecution. >> would you agree with that, ken? >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. now, the defense in this case, chris, is that they're going to argue they were an unofficial militia ready to be called by former president trump under the insurrection act. they believe this was a corruption of the election and that they were there to act in
