The 5 o’clock hour begins with the Top 5 @ 5, honoring the life of Viola Fletcher, the oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, and covering major headlines from Milwaukee to Washington. Dr. Ken reacts to Trump calling Democrats’ military message “seditious behavior,” and callers like Security Mike and Melisande weigh in. Their conversation turns philosophical as Melisande declares “the American experiment is over,” sparking a spirited debate on whether the nation can still recover its moral compass. The hour closes early for Panthers basketball, but not before Dr. Ken leaves listeners with a sobering truth — progress always has a price, and too few are willing to pay it.
