    Dr. Ken Harris kicks off Truth in the Afternoon by greeting Truth Nation in the YouTube chat before diving into breaking news — the tragic shooting in D.C. involving two National Guard members. Callers Al from Sherman Park and The Caller weigh in with passionate reactions, leading Dr. Ken to break down the psychology behind cognitive dissonance and how we rationalize the chaos around us. After recapping and checking the weather, he shifts to another local concern — the surge in car tows across Milwaukee, which have already outpaced the past few years combined. He also highlights growing national tension as Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin reveals fears for her family amid an FBI probe into “illegal orders.” Sandra closes the hour in classic form, sparring with Dr. Ken over crime, consequences, and community accountability.

    Dr. Ken Harris kicks off Truth in the Afternoon with a hard reality check — it now takes six figures for a family of four to live comfortably, and that’s not even lavish living. He breaks down how this “new poverty” is hitting Black families the hardest, where even middle-class incomes are barely enough. The conversation heats up as he asks: Can you really live on $140,000 a year? Dr. Ken dives into whether college or trades offer better stability — ultimately arguing both are valuable paths in today’s economy. Listeners call and chat in with their own stories about rising costs, government aid, and the shrinking dollar, making this one of the most relatable money talks yet.

The hour closes early for Panthers basketball, but not before Dr. Ken leaves listeners with a sobering truth — progress always has a price, and too few are willing to pay it.

    Dr. Ken Harris opens Truth in the Afternoon with a message for Truth Nation: meritocracy is not a myth. He argues that one of the greatest strengths in the Black community is entrepreneurship — the power to build something from nothing — and that calling merit a myth is just fear talking. Then NYGP joins for sports talk, covering the Packers, Badgers, and Bucks before the conversation turns to the shocking Slender Man update. Dr. Ken calls out how the media downplayed the story of the teen who cut off her ankle monitor, framing her felony escape as if she “went missing.” He and listeners discuss how different that coverage would’ve been if she were Black, exposing another example of bias in plain sight.

    2025/11/25
    The 5 o’clock hour kicks off with the Top 5 @ 5 — from the U.S. spending nearly $1 trillion on schools with little to show for it, to a Milwaukee homicide over a crack pipe, and the latest in the Morgan Geyser case. Dr. Ken pushes back on YouTube chat defenders making excuses for broken systems and delayed accountability. Later, he unpacks reports of the Trump administration targeting graduate students by classifying some degrees as “non-professional,” raising questions about who gets access to advancement. As the hour closes, Dr. Ken drops a sobering update about a Black man found hanging from a tree in Brookfield — a haunting reminder that inequality isn’t just history, it’s happening now. He ends the show with truth, clarity, and the challenge to face what too many still refuse to see.
