In this Jan. 9, 2016, file photo, a man stands guard after members of the "3% of Idaho" group along with several other organizations arrived at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore.

People around the world watched in horror last Wednesday as violent Trump supporters and extremists breached the U.S. Capitol building. But even though these scenes were shocking, right wing extremists aren't new to the U.S., the Mountain West or Idaho.

Joining us today to talk about this is Rocky Barker, special correspondent for the Idaho Statesman.
