Dr. Ken opens the 5 o’clock hour with the Top 5 @ 5 — from the government possibly reopening to shocking stories of crime, accountability, and justice across Milwaukee. Each headline sparks deeper reflection on what we tolerate and what we ignore. As the show winds down, Dr. Ken calls out how society has grown too soft — too forgiving — while life itself never takes it easy on anyone. It’s a short hour before UWM basketball coverage but packed with Dr. Ken’s signature honesty and a challenge to toughen up, face reality, and fight for better.
