5/11/26 6PM: Mother’s Day Reflections, Public Safety Debates, and Culture Critiques

Dr. Ken opens the show with a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute, sharing personal stories about his upbringing and the influence of his mother on his life. The conversation shifts to public safety as he weighs in on Milwaukee’s Fire and Police Commission proposal to limit police pursuits, strongly supporting Chief Jeffrey Norman’s pushback. Dr. Ken argues that restricting law enforcement only undermines community safety and calls for greater support of officers. He also reflects on the tragic shooting of Milwaukee County employee Dennis Johnson, emphasizing both the pain for the victim’s family and the broader challenges faced in law enforcement. The hour wraps with a candid review of the film Michael, where Dr. Ken expresses disappointment over missed opportunities to fully capture the icon’s rise and work ethic.
