Dr. Ken Harris opens Truth In The Afternoon with a story from WISN12 regarding upset and confused residents of Menomonee Falls following a unanimous decision to reallocate $300,000 from their library budget to the police department in 2026 with concerns about potential job and resource cuts at the library. Dr. Ken wonders where the concern is coming from with regard to the crime uptick within the area and the desire for the money to stay where it was as the money comes from the years previous surplus.

Dr. Ken then transitions into a question for Truth Nation, asking "Can Black People Do What White People Do" amid news and controversy from Chicago and an investigation around Mayor Brandon Johnson's comments highlighting prominent Black officials in his administration. Dr. Ken addresses the hypocrisy in the concern for blacks hiring more blacks and not simply mentioning or questioning if they are truly qualified for the job, as other white officials have historically hired and included others like themselves in organizations.
