    1/30/26 4PM: Good Leadership
    Jan 30 2026
    Hour 1 of Truth in the Afternoon with Dr. Ken opens with a sharp breakdown of a leadership failure at Milwaukee’s Office of Community Wellness and Safety. Dr. Ken explains why the removal of Adam Procell wasn’t about performance, but about a preventable legal oversight—and what that says about governance, process, and foresight at City Hall. Listeners weigh in via talk-to-text and YouTube chat as the conversation continues, including a pointed call questioning whether this was more than a simple “oops.” Dr. Ken also checks in on his own health (running on just over five hours of sleep) before pivoting to breaking news: Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty, sparking a tough discussion on justice, punishment, and accountability. The hour wraps with news that Milwaukee is expanding the use of street cameras—and what that means for safety and surveillance.

    Hour 2 kicks off with the Top 5 @ 5, starting with Milwaukee’s 180th birthday and moving through major headlines, including nationwide food recalls tied to rodent contamination, a proposed bell-to-bell cellphone ban in Wisconsin schools, a $1.9 million real estate fraud case, and Sha’Carri Richardson finding herself in trouble once again. Dr. Ken brings context, perspective, and pointed commentary to each story. The hour closes with a discussion around the arrest of Don Lemon and another individual, breaking down why a federal law violation sparked public outrage and what accountability should really look like. The show wraps early to make way for Panthers basketball, but not before leaving listeners with plenty to think about.

    Jan 29 2026
    Dr. Ken opens the show with a sobering Truth titled “They’re Coming,” connecting massive corporate layoffs — including Amazon’s cuts — to Milwaukee’s long-standing Black employment crisis. He explains how automation and “efficiency” narratives hide the real fallout: families losing income, stability, and futures. While overall unemployment may look average, Dr. Ken reminds listeners that Black unemployment in Milwaukee remains among the worst in the nation due to decades of structural inequities. The conversation expands to planned obsolescence, corporate accountability, and whether communities are being pushed — or pushing themselves — out of opportunity. Calls from Sandra and Al keep the debate raw and real as Dr. Ken challenges Milwaukee to prepare, retrain, and build before the next wave hits.

A heavy, honest hour that underscores why preparation and awareness aren’t optional — they’re survival tools.

    Dr. Ken opens the show with a powerful Truth warning listeners not to blindly trust algorithms and artificial intelligence. He breaks down how AI isn’t neutral but built on biased data and power structures that can quietly reinforce inequality in policing, hiring, and lending. While acknowledging AI’s benefits, Dr. Ken makes clear he’s anti–blind trust, not anti-technology, urging transparency, oversight, and human judgment. The hour then shifts as NYGP joins to discuss Giannis’ future with the NBA trade deadline approaching, sparking debate over whether stars belong in big markets or smaller cities like Milwaukee. Dr. Ken closes the hour by calling out Milwaukee leadership, questioning what’s actually being done to move the city forward beyond talk.

    1/27/26 4PM: Just Respect
    Jan 28 2026
    Dr. Ken opens the show with a Truth titled “Just Respect,” pushing back on passive-aggressive conversations and selective views of free speech. Drawing on nearly three decades in law enforcement, he makes clear that military service and civilian policing are both honorable — but neither should be used to silence or diminish the other. The conversation then turns to housing, where Dr. Ken challenges assumptions about renting versus buying and breaks down “The Lines That Built (and Blocked) Wealth in Milwaukee.” From redlining maps to deed restrictions, he explains how policy — not culture — shaped who could build equity and who couldn’t. Calls and chat heat up as Truth Nation reacts, forcing listeners to rethink the American Dream and how history still impacts housing choices today.

The Top 5 @ 5 covers major developments, from a measles case in Wisconsin to criminal investigations and upcoming constitutional amendments. Dr. Ken then pivots to school choice, arguing that families should be able to choose what works best for their children and that opportunity shouldn’t be denied simply because others don’t benefit the same way. He closes the show previewing a deeper discussion on legacy, voting, and accountability — reminding Truth Nation that progress depends on choosing leaders who understand history, policy, and consequence.
