So while Trump was out voting, he stopped to give the fake news media an update on that war, he said, was over on day one eight months ago. They've knocked out every jet fighter in Iran. They've knocked out every ship, 259 ships, all at the bottom of the sea. They've knocked out all of the, actually some of the things that my uncle invented, the radar, my uncle invented radar, can you believe it? No, I cannot. The better question... The real question is, do you believe it? Because I looked it up and guess what? It isn't true. Radar was invented by a Scottish scientist in 1935. Maybe your uncle invented radar and you were confused?
