one week in arlington -- malik in arlington, texas. caller: i would like to say that the republican is nothing more than a fascist movement. they are comprised of people after the end of the civil war. the only use democracy as an oppressive measure against ethnic minorities. i would like to correct the congresswoman when she said we received a tax cut under president trump. we never received a tax cut. in fact, my taxes were higher under president trump than under president obama. 28.862 on $8,000. she is incorrect when she says it is nothing more than right wing propaganda. host: there is a lot to work with there. go ahead, congresswoman. guest: thank you. i talked earlier about lowering the temperature. when we attack either side or the middle, calling them fascist and giving them a label, that is part of the reason we have this division. i really blame social media for a lot of this. if you have watched the social dilemma on netflix talking about the algorithms for social media where if you are a far right or republican, you get th

i also served at arlington national cemetery with the old guard of the army, the regiment that guards the tomb of the unknown soldier. honor funerals and ceremonies like the inauguration or joint arrival ceremonies for heads of state. i was just back at the cemetery yesterday. it was veterans day. a very special veterans day. it was the 100th anniversary of the tomb of the unknown soldier. 100 years ago yesterday, the world war i unknown was interred. a couple days ago my wife and i took our six-year-old and five-year-old boy to the tomb because for the first time in 96 years, since it never had a guard of any kind, civilians were able to walk and lay a flower on the tomb to honor those unknowns. we wanted our boys to do that even though they are probably a little young to know what is going on. they are old enough to have the memories and we certainly have the image. if your kids at six and five -- you might be concerned about taking them onto that plaza. we drilled into them they needed to be quiet and respectful, that this was sacred ground, and as we are getting up to the edge of

they meet together in arlington at trump campaign headquarters and the one big requested trump campaign had was you can't use the boss's image or likeness without our permission and they thought the request was bizarre and did not know how to react to that. here you have the president of the united states, a public figure and the leader of the party. clearly they are not going to write some fundraiser script, but image and likeness? they ignored him then, and he said the nrs he is ignoring him now, but when i asked trump about this conversation, he said i don't like all republicans. i don't think a lot of them are good at their job. what is important to understand, and it was so politically bizarre to some of us who covered him, that he could be elected president of the united states and then continue to beat up on the government he was leading and was a part of, as though he were some sort of barstool commentator. one of the things that this does for him is solidified his relationship with so many republican primary voters who share his contempt for the party they affiliate with. there
