The Daily Herold: 5/5/26 - Fulton County Subpoena, UAE Exits OPEC & Fitness Test

Jon Herold is doing his best to stay optimistic today and the DOJ is making it easier than usual. A federal grand jury subpoena dated April 17 demands the names, addresses, and personal phone numbers of every single person who worked in Fulton County during the 2020 election, and Jon thinks that is a very good sign. Trump also reinstated the Presidential Fitness Test that Obama killed in 2013, Jon reads the benchmarks out loud, and immediately commits to earning the award on camera. The UAE just withdrew from OPEC after 58 years, and Jon breaks down what that means for oil prices post-Iran war, including the possibility of $2 gasoline if the cartel collapses entirely. Trump went on record saying Democrats have to cheat because their policies are too unpopular to win any other way, and Jon asks the logical follow-up question nobody wants to answer: so what does it mean if the midterms happen without fixing the cheating? Also: Elon Musk paid a $1.7 million SEC settlement that is genuinely peanuts to him, the DOJ is going after the ABA's law school accreditation monopoly, and a Michigan judge dismissed felony charges against a 2020 election clerk in a case that mirrors Tina Peters almost exactly.
