Dr. Ken opens an extended edition of Truth in the Afternoon by replaying the call between Brandon from Milwaukee and Kyle — and asks Truth Nation to weigh in: Can you stop a person who’s already decided what they’re going to do? As the YouTube poll lights up, Dr. Ken reflects on his upbringing and reinforces a message he lives by — life is what you make it — but influence only works if someone is willing to hear it. The conversation shifts to politics as Dr. Ken questions Joel Brennan’s run for governor and whether Milwaukee has anything to gain from his campaign. The first hour ends with a powerful truth: some decisions shape themselves long before anyone tries to intervene, and the real question is whether we recognize the difference.
