The 5PM hour kicks off with weather updates before Kyle joins Dr. Ken for a lively back-and-forth about earlier commentary. The Top 5 at 5 covers major headlines, including MPS approving cuts to more than 260 positions, the Milwaukee County Sheriff dropping a facial recognition plan, and a fatal double shooting. Dr. Ken also delivers a Black Fact of the Day highlighting James Weldon Johnson’s thoughts on democracy and the ballot. The conversation circles back to the PATRIOT Act and how surveillance powers could intersect with escalating tensions overseas. Callers, including Todd, weigh in as the show wraps with a continued focus on security, war, and civil liberties.
