Dr. Ken opens Truth in the Afternoon with a powerful challenge to Milwaukee’s religious leadership, asking whether churches, mosques, and synagogues have chosen comfort over confrontation. He questions why faith institutions that once drove social change now seem disconnected from violence, poverty, and injustice in the streets. As the conversation continues, Truth Nation weighs in on the viral controversy surrounding Karri Turner Bryant and the Black church’s fixation on women’s dress, sparking passionate calls and commentary. Dr. Ken warns that when financial stability becomes more sacred than moral clarity, credibility is lost. The hour ends with one blunt question: Who is faith really serving in Milwaukee today?

The 5 o’clock hour dives into the Top 5 @ 5, covering everything from a Black valedictorian losing her scholarship to tragic violence across Milwaukee. Dr. Ken then reacts to allegations against Will Smith, pushing listeners to wrestle with celebrity, power, and accountability. Sandra calls in to add fuel to the conversation, keeping the debate lively and unfiltered. As the show wraps up, Dr. Ken ties together the day’s themes — silence, responsibility, and the cost of avoiding hard truths. It’s an episode that challenges institutions, culture, and conscience all at once.
