The Daily Herold: Sept. 5, 2025 – Annie from Willow Wind Farm, Trump’s Truth Social Posts, and Biden’s Auto-Pen Scandal

Jon Herold opens this Friday edition with a special guest: Annie from Willow Wind Farm, the woman behind Soft Disclosure’s natural body care products. Annie shares her journey from a Colorado natural foods career to running an 85-acre alpaca and sheep ranch, where she now handcrafts lotions, deodorants, and tallow bars with locally sourced ingredients. She talks about sustainability, the challenges of creating sensitive recipes like deodorant, and why using pure, farm-based inputs matters. Jon and Annie reflect on her role as both a breeder and a maker, her deep ties to the Badlands community, and the joy she finds in creating products that people love.

After the interview, Jon pivots to the headlines, Trump’s reposts of August stories on Truth Social, John Bolton’s unsealed search warrant, ICE’s massive hiring spree, Nadler’s retirement, and Biden’s controversial use of an auto-pen for pardons. With a mix of personal storytelling, sponsor shoutouts, and sharp political analysis, this episode blends community spotlight with cutting-edge news.
