memorial to honor george washington. the father of the country. owned by washington's grandson, george washington park custis. in many ways this has to be looked at as our nation's first washington monument, the first memorial built to honor any president. the first structure of any kind built to honor a man like that. this house had a fame to itself apart from robert e. lee. but then lee married into the family, became part of the washington family. and so when the coming of the civil war happened and lee was put in a very painful and difficult place in which he had to choose sides, president lincoln wanted him to command federal troops. it was offered to him. but he could not fight a war against virginia, his native state. his home and family, as he characterized it. he was caught in this terrible dilemma. ultimately his choice would have a massive impact on the course of the civil war in american history that would follow. it would also lead to the u.s. government taking this home, this plantation away from his family to punish him and creating arlington national cemetery as

although that's still being worked out. this is the scene tonight right now in everett, washington. a live shot of the xfinity arena in everett, washington, where donald trump is slated to take the stage for a rally there within the hour. this is worth watching tonight for a couple of reasons. one of which is just that it's very strange for them to be doing this event there tonight. i mean, this event tonight, this xfinity arena, it's a big arena. it holds 10,000 people. that's a lot of trump supporters who will presumably be roaring back at donald trump tonight when he gives his remarks at this big event. but a 10,000-seat arena is also an expensive thing to rent, and heading into this phase of the campaign, heading into labor day in a presidential election year, a candidate's time is unbelievably precious. so why are they spending their candidate's time and their donors' money to do this? no matter what happens, and no matter how many people -- how many thousands of people turn out to cheer for donald trump tonight at this event in washington state, that you see on the left side
