Today is Friday, August 2nd, 2019.
Try to remember in vivid detail where you are, who you are with and what you are wearing.
Future generations will seek you out, for you to regale them about this day when three earth-altering events happened simultaneously:

2) Fox’s Neil Cavuto did the fact checking.
3) Fox told their viewers that the nation’s leading manufacturer of lies, was in fact lying, right after he finished lying.
