The Daily Herold: 5/4/26 - Midterm Cancellation Signal, Iran Ceasefire & Meat Cartel

Jon Herold comes into Monday a little roughed up from the Wild giving up nine goals, but he has receipts. Trump's latest Truth Social post says elections conducted unconstitutionally simply cannot stand, and Jon thinks that combined with praising Louisiana for suspending primaries, that is as close to a midterm cancellation signal as anyone has put on the record. Project Freedom kicked off over the weekend with the US Navy escorting stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran fired on vessels anyway, and the ceasefire Jon was told was over is apparently still being tested. Jon also plays back his own April 24 prediction that the Jerome Powell probe would reopen the moment Kevin Warsh is confirmed, because Jeanine Pirro just said the exact same thing on Fox. The DOJ announced an antitrust settlement with the Big Four meat packers controlling 85% of US beef processing, with more protein pricing settlements coming this week. Rudy Giuliani is in critical condition in the hospital, Ukraine is still being funded despite what social media is saying, the Tucker for president op is in full swing, and Jon explains in about thirty seconds why it is the same playbook as DeSantis 2023.
