"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.

To be clear....they aren't censoring arbitrarily....they are censoring very purposefully

[JakesOnline]

An armed man was arrested for threatening FEMA. He's out on bail.

[keithgupton]

Where's Matt Taibbi? Shouldn't he be all over this story like he was when he accused Democrats of censorship on Twitter? He can call it Twitter/X files part Deux!

[PHILLIPS]

And if he gets in, don't think this willnot happen to Youtubers who are progressive and critical of Trump.

[mattalexander]

It’s going to get messy in the days after the election.

[KhristyDrysdale]

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month.

[StinkCabbage]

Where's Matt Taibbi on this? He should be all over this.

[texmex]

That Matt Taibbi guy should be all over this, he will surely bust this story wide open.

[Not_Even_Wrong]

That's why people used to say "freeze peach" because that's as well what these people might be pretending to fight for...

[ahlishaholloway]

I wonder if Matt Taibbi is going to release a new Twitter Files about this? After all, he cares ever so much about free speech

[davidrobinson]

You energy is appreciated and necessary!

[jatsko]

Our country cannot survive these people walking free. Time to stop simply calling them out for having no standards and get these people in front of the justice system.

[shellyking]

The media went mad now nothing from the media

[michaelcorcoran]

Disappointing that Glenn greenwald is still kind of loosely defending Elon musk on this issue. Or at least emphasizing liberal hypocrisy as basically what normalized these kind of restrictions. Which just seems to be awfully convenient for him

[elisawhitman]

It always amazes me how the people who claim to have the staunchest moral principles completely abandon those principles the moment they become inconvenient.

[mroctober]

I'm sure Jim Jordan will be launching an investigation immediately.

[flagcoco]

One man's absolutist is another man's hypocrite, given enough time.

[dyltopher]

Nothing makes me feel more patriotic than the collective agreement to deadname X and call it Twitter

[TheDreadfulCurtain]

Thank you Kyle, been watching you since you started and you were a young chap ! Just wanted to say appreciate your voice amongst the darkness, wishing all Americans hope living in the shadow of Fascism. Watching from the U.K ❤
