The Don Lemon Show’s head writer Peter Rothpletz is back for Episode 2 of Snark & Awe!
This time, he’s joined by Town & Country Contributing Editor Andrew Zucker to unpack the shifting tides in Gen Z’s political vibes. Is the generation that helped fuel the meme wars finally over MAGA? Are we witnessing the moment when Trumpism becomes… cringe?
They break down the data, the discourse, and whether Gen Z is actually moving on, or just getting louder about it.

100 Days of Mayhem with Don Lemon, Michael Cohen, & Michael Fanone
Don sits down with Michael Fanone and Michael Cohen to break down the chaos that’s defined Trump’s first 100 days back in office, and spoiler...it’s not pretty.
From spiraling economic turmoil and job-killing tariffs, to unconstitutional deportations and nonstop attacks on anyone who dares disagree, this presidency is already rewriting the definition of dysfunction.
Whether it’s punishing critics, bulldozing legal norms, or turning the government into a revenge tour, one thing’s clear: the damage is real, and it’s only just begun.
Join Don, Fanone, and Cohen as they unpack the madness and what it means for the future of the country (if there’s still one left to fix).

Jacob Ward's Warning | Are You Ready for Immoral A.I.?
Should AI Have Boundaries? As AI becomes more powerful and more accessible, the debate over morality and responsibility is heating up. Journalist Jacob Ward joins us to explore the ethical minefield surrounding artificial intelligence.
At the center of it all: Elon Musk’s Grok AI, which reportedly may include a model that will do anything it’s asked to do no matter how dangerous, unethical, or flat-out wrong.
If you ask AI to do something harmful… and it says yes, who’s to blame? The user? The creator? The code?
It’s not science fiction anymore...it’s here.

HOT TOPICS | Trump Talks (Again), Facts Die (Again) - April 30th, 2025
Last night, Trump sat down with ABC’s Terry Moran for what was supposed to be a presidential interview. What we got instead? A familiar blend of denial, deflection, and delusion.
From flat-out lies to wild exaggerations, Trump steamrolled through reality...even when Moran tried to fact-check him (which, let’s be honest, didn’t happen nearly enough). The result? A chaotic mess that leaves us wondering: do facts even matter anymore?
Don breaks down the most jaw-dropping moments, the missed opportunities, and the dangerous normalizing of nonsense from a man who still refuses to admit truth has consequences.
It’s not journalism’s finest hour, but it’s one we definitely need to talk about.
