12/8/25 5PM: Kashed Out

The 5 o’clock hour starts with the Top 5 @ 5 — from more snow on the way and freezing temperatures, to City on a Hill filing for bankruptcy while promising to keep serving Milwaukee families. Dr. Ken dives into the state’s staffing crisis at crime labs and the heartbreaking story of two teens charged in a local shooting. Then he takes aim at Milwaukee’s transit debate, arguing that people can’t complain about rising bus fares if they refused to pay the required fee. The conversation turns uplifting as Dr. Ken highlights history made in South Carolina, where the youngest and first Black mayor was elected. The hour wraps with a roundtable on rising costs hosted by Senator Baldwin and Dr. Ken’s signature truth: staying informed is the first step toward real change.
