## About this episode

Donald Trump held massive campaign rallies across Pennsylvania as a Stanford University study claimed his events led to approximately 700 COVID-19 deaths. In El Paso, Texas, a whistleblower within the fire department reported that the local hospital capacity crisis is being driven by ambulances transporting non-citizens from international bridges rather than local non-compliance. These events set the stage for a high-stakes Election Day as the nation balances public health mandates against political mobilization.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a new four-week national lockdown for the United Kingdom while Dr. Anthony Fauci praised the 111-day lockdown in Melbourne during a CNBC appearance with Shep Smith. In the United States, Admiral Brett Girard and the HHS began distributing millions of Abbott BinaxNOW rapid antigen tests, which critics warn are linked to digital health apps and future health passports. Meanwhile, former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne alleged he served as an FBI informant in a 2015 bribery sting involving Hillary Clinton that was reportedly suppressed by President Obama. Steve Bannon also claimed the discovery of a deadman switch file on Hunter Biden’s laptop containing evidence of international crimes.

CNN host Don Lemon sparked controversy by suggesting he has cut off friends who support the president, comparing them to addicts who must hit rock bottom. In Texas, a Trump Train convoy surrounded a Biden-Harris campaign bus on a highway, leading to event cancellations in Austin. The episode features a special knighting of Dame Tori of Ancapistan and Sir Molten Cheese as the producers prepare for a post-election deconstruction of the media's polling failures.

### 2. El Paso COVID Surge, Border Hospital Whistleblowers (1:46–10:11)

El Paso, Texas implemented a two-week curfew and lockdown due to a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospital capacity issues.
