The Don Lemon Show

Don sits down with friends of the show Jolly, Will Westmoreland, and Qasim Rashid for a post-Christmas holiday conversation. They share the holiday traditions they observe, how those traditions connect to culture, faith, and family, and then zoom out to tackle a bigger question: how religious zealotry and extremism have increasingly been used to fuel division and discord across the country. From history to modern politics, they unpack how faith has been weaponized, and what gets lost when it is. It’s thoughtful, honest, and wide-ranging, part holiday hang, part serious reflection on where we are as a nation. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don sits down with Mike Nellis to take stock of where the country stands coming out of the Christmas season. They talk about the mixed signals in the economy, the public mood after the holidays, and how people are really feeling as we turn the page on the year. The conversation also dives into the state of corporate media, what’s shifting, what’s breaking, and how trust, access, and power are reshaping the news landscape. Finally, Don and Mike look ahead to 2026, what to expect politically, culturally, and economically, and what signals are already flashing now. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s the morning after Christmas, and Don is here to slow things down, reflect, and spend some time with Lemon Nation. While the economy continues to struggle and many Americans are feeling squeezed, holiday spending still hit record highs. So what’s really going on? Are people putting things on credit, dipping into savings, or trying to hold onto a sense of normalcy? Don breaks it all down and is joined by Sam Caucci to answer your biggest questions about the economy, consumer behavior, inflation, and what we can realistically expect as we head into the new year.
