Today, we take a look at the so-called “Words of the Year” for 2025 — and what they reveal about the culture, the media, and the ideological priorities of the people who choose them. Who decided these matter again?

Ben Shapiro DESTROYS Words of the Year

Jonathan Pageau is a French-Canadian liturgical artist, writer, and public speaker on religious philosophy, symbolism, and Orthodox Christianity. Pageau’s commentary can be found on his YouTube channel, “The Symbolic World,” as well as in Dr. Jordan B. Peterson’s 17-part “Exodus” seminar and The Daily Wire’s latest series, “Foundations of the West.” In today’s flashback clip, Jonathan and I discuss the biblical themes found in classical fairy tales like “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and the important role that storytelling plays in establishing our most deeply held cultural norms.

THESE Are The Greatest Stories Ever Told w/ Jonathan Pageau

Read between the theological lines of C.S. Lewis’ classic masterpiece and religious satire, penned from the POV of a demon serving in the bureaucracy of Hell. Ben will explore the wildly comic and strikingly original letters from one demon to another, as the pair seek to undermine the Christian faith and tempt man into extravagantly wicked and deplorable sins.
