Dr. Ken opens the hour reflecting on a story that left him shaking his head — a reminder of why the upcoming Truth Summit is so important for tackling issues like health and education divides. In “Dr. Ken’s Truth,” he explores the power of forgiveness, explaining how holding a grudge can do more harm to your health than good, even playing a clip from Steve Harvey for perspective.

The 5 o’clock hour kicks off with Dr. Ken’s Top 5 @ 5, covering stories from the Bucks’ home opener and daylight-saving time to a developing case of a mother charged after children were found in a storage unit, and Governor Evers’ warning about food assistance funding. Dr. Ken then discusses Milwaukee’s streetcar, The Hop, reaching record ridership despite calls to defund it, and dives into why voters should prioritize their own families’ needs over following the crowd. The hour closes with a call from Sandra, as she and Dr. Ken have a candid talk about accountability and the troubling issues facing Milwaukee.

The hour wraps with a question for the culture — do you care what celebrities say about your vote?
