“The first time I ever really listened to Kyle Kulinski’s show was in the back of a cab last summer. The driver had his phone hooked up through the stereo and was pumping out an episode through the car speakers — loudly, as if looking to convert a captive audience.

“Do you like Kyle Kulinski?”

The driver, Ahmed, was a recent immigrant and apparently a die-hard fan of Secular Talk, the political talk show that Kulinski broadcasts on YouTube. I told him, yes, in fact. I do like Kulinski, had come across his show several years ago, and, all things considered, he seemed pretty good.

“He understands what we’re up against,” Ahmed said. “Like Bernie.”

But I was surprised to hear Kulinski’s name mentioned in the same breath as Bernie Sanders, particularly with such adoration. Because what I did remember about Kulinski’s show struck me as mostly capital-P “progressive” takes on the news — the left wing of the Netroots crowd more than the democratic socialism Sanders has popularized.

It’s an impression that wasn’t entirely incorrect.

“I have no time for philosophical, airy bullshit,” Kulinski tells me from his home in Westchester, New York. “I don’t want to hear about Lenin. I don’t want to hear about Marx. I just want a super plainspoken, straightforward agenda with a straightforward way of selling it.”

With over 800,000 subscribers and nearly 670 million total views on YouTube, selling a progressive agenda is clearly something Kulinski knows how to do — even Democracy Now, the long-standing flagship of progressive media, cannot match his reach on the platform. Chapo Trap House can certainly boast a wildly devoted fan base (and a not insignificant degree of media influence), but their audience is roughly half the size of Kulinski’s.

While Secular Talk might be more likely to be looped in with the progressive networks around Air America and Pacifica alums like Sam Seder than the more resolutely socialist world, Kulinski’s fiery rhetoric, razor-sharp class instincts, and knack for withering takedowns sets him apart from his peers. Judging by his rhetoric alone, he’s closer to a Eugene Debs than a Chris Hayes.

But unlike Hayes, Amy Goodman, or his friend Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks — who began airing Secular Talk on his web network seven years ago — the thirty-two-year-old Kulinski is virtually invisible in the mainstream media. Despite his enormous fan base, his show has never once been mentioned in the obligatory trend pieces on “the Millennial Left” pumped out by the prestige media. Nor has Kulinski’s name ever popped up at all in the New York Times, Vox, the New Yorker, New York Magazine, or the Washington Post, despite his leading role in cofounding Justice Democrats, the organization widely credited with sweeping Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of “the Squad” to power.

Just last week, his Wikipedia page was deleted. The reason? “There is very simply no [reliable source] coverage of this person,” according to one moderator. In new media, he’s king — the Sean Hannity of the Berniecrat left. In old media, he’s nobody.

I suspect there are a few reasons for that. There is nothing “cool” about Kulinski’s show. (As a friend put it, “‘Welcome to Secular Talk’ sounds like something you’d hear on Egyptian radio.”) His no-nonsense social-democratic politics won’t get him much cred with the Full Communism crowd. He records his show not in Brooklyn or Los Angeles, but in a studio he built himself in his modest Westchester home. His hair is too groomed and his taste in clothes too preppy to qualify as “Dirtbag Left.” Nor has he ever attended an n+1 release party. “Not only have I not attended one,” he says, “I have no idea what that means.”

And yet he’s astonishingly plugged-in for a young man in the suburbs. Wondering how Sanders ended up on the Joe Rogan Experience? Kulinski, a frequent guest on Rogan’s wildly popular show, introduced them. “You make the most sense to me,” Rogan told Kulinski on a recent episode. “You’re a normal person.”

Much like Sanders himself, Kulinski’s show has a massive audience that just doesn’t compute with our media’s understanding of “what the kids want” or even “what the left-wing kids want.”

It’s probably for the best — the very woke and very WASP-ish decorum haunting much of the media world is nowhere to be found in Secular Talk. “Corporate Democrats over-focus on identity as a trick to divert you from the issues that unite us all — class issues,” he said on a recent episode.

  1. Even Democrats are hoping Biden kicks the big one before November, so in what universe does anyone honestly think he's capable of making it through another 4 years? You need your brain checked if you do. And this is your default candidate, the Democrats didn't even give you, the voter, the option and you want to cry "Democracy is at stake"? Okay.

  2. it just shows how detached from reality the majority of voters are today trapped in filter bubbles, propaganda and nonsensical personal cults….factually Biden is waaaaaay better on all the issues asked…there is not even room for the slightest doubt about that

  4. Biden's failures are what Americans are throwing a tissy fit over:

    – He stopped sending those checks when Covid kept folks indoors
    – He failed to codify RVW.
    – He jumped on Isreal's D the moment they were attacked by Hamas and has stayed snuggly there.

    – He won't attack Trump on issues with enough fury

    Biden is failing the American people and they know it.

  6. People have to support their household, and the relative cost of life depends of that income. If meat and shoes and voyages and theater and champaign went down, but housing up , high middle class could be a little wealthier even , but sees the part of housing rising, and they think about their children. Poor labourpeople and poor middle class, they even don't have to think their children, they see every month…
    It just means that the numbers employed by the governement are only a kindness to a governement, that has lost controll…and people notice it. They hope Trumps brutality will help…. maybe, but than USA would be lucky. Both are cynical nihilists…and mean decadence of an Empire that never wanted to listen to the people of America. When it was spoken and heard, they murdered the speakers – Martin Luther King, president Kennedy,…
    Evil has his price. The symbol of the Republicans has a Trump, an the one of the democrats is a donkey stuborn donkey… So, Trump or Genocide Joe or " the other Kennedy", USA will continue to scrumble another for years… Even Cornel West, if he has a very bright and clean mind, has he only one member of the Congress to support him, if he would be elected ?

  8. Hello Kyle
    Biden disgusts me with his zionism. He is most likely connected to Israel with other means than this. He is not a politician with decency like he claims. He just blatantly disgusts me😞😞😞

  9. If the polls are true, a majority of voters think the president can magically lower gas prices, food prices, and rent. In other words, most voters are dumb.

  12. I think deep down Progressives wants Biden to lose and i think he will come November. But i don't think this will have the effect progressives expects to have. Common denominatar betweek far left and far right is both groups thrive in chaos. Good job and good luck anyway.

  13. Lets see . A candidate who has made false accusations about the election fraud. Has 91 i indictments against him. Was found guilty of sexual harrasment and is liable to pay multi-millions as a result of the suit . And now has the chance to be voted back into office. F**king insane. Just goes to show the f**king hypocrisy of the republicans!

  15. The economy number just proves that the American voter is willfully ignorant. The healthcare & Social Security numbers??!! That almost makes ya want that 'knowledge-of-issues' test for ALL VOTERS before they get to cast a ballot! But also… I think disgruntled Trump voters are disproportionately liable to respond to pollsters, & still yet… I'll take ANYONE ELSE too! Even, ugh… Gavin Newsom ATP!🙄 But a 'KY Gov. Andy Beshear-TX's 30th Rep. Jasmin Crockett' ticket is my preferred choice right now… Both are in their mid-40s RN… Turns Trump into the deranged, incoherent, & babbling old man… istantly!

  16. Kyle every time you see what ppl favor economically you never believe it because you dont agree with it. You need to pop out of your lefty bubble and realize how YOU see the world is not how everyone sees the world 💀

  20. Gaza aside, I think Biden only being up 4 on abortion is totally fair. He's been anti-choice his entire career and only changed course on that rhetorically because it nearly killed his campaign in 2020. He's never been a genuine ally on that issue, and we shouldn't pretend otherwise just because he's a Democrat (honestly we shouldn't pretend that the Democrats as a party are allies on that issue either).

  21. They can say all these things , but prove it . Economy is always bad for Americans – hell they all run on the issue of the economy.Nothing gets better but for a few , very few.

  24. Yeah I don’t think people care (myself included) if Biden raised the min wage for 500,000 people or brought back 800,000 jobs when we have 34.2 MILLION people in the US and we see prices for literally everything go up since Biden has been in office

  28. lol amazing how anyone would continue to vote Biden. You all said Trump would cause world war 3 but in actually Biden did

    Trump 2024

    Sincerely a brown kid from queens sick of racist white liberals
