"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.

[gilbertoavina]

Someone needs to tell Ben that facts don't care about his feelings..

[XJennyjenX]

Ben is calling for war and Candace is taking logical stance and speaking about it politically. Ben outed himself as a violent war monger

[dustinsindledecker]

Ben will turn on anyone who criticizes israel. Even his own employees

[popoffpeppar]

Candace: “No government should be allowed to commit genocide”

Ben: “disgraceful”

You really can’t make this shut up 💀

[WanderingMendicant-qdmv]

This was bound to happen. Candace has been testing Shapiro since the Kanye fiasco.

[JediNiyte]

Ben Shapiro just broke the irony meter with his "faux sophistication" comment.

[samblackwell]

Diversity of thought is valued until it isn’t

[Soren]

Facts over feelings, unless they're Benny boy's feelings

[dr.wolfstar]

Ben is using all feelings and no facts

[godusopp]

Am I the only one who sees the pure hypocrisy of all the years ben was dismissive of any group that talk about social injustice and now hes the biggest social justice warrior?

[NoSlow]

Imagine your boss going outside you and talking to everyone what you're doing wrong, but not directly to you.

“DISGRACEFUL! Ben Shapiro TURNS ON Candace Owens”
There are a lot of ways to interpret that headline, and all of them are hilarious.

[PaxilRose]

I like how when Ben Shapiro gets up on his soapbox, he literally has to climb up on a soapbox .

[novataco]

I do not know Candace’s specific positions on the Israel-Palestine ‘conflict’ (genocide), but no matter what it is I find it hilarious that Ben breaks with her for this and not when she was supporting Kanye at his most insane and anti-semitic, and there he was just like “she’s entitled to her opinion.”

[latrishahope]

On her show when she debated the Jewish comedian she said her tweet was in response to a congressman dehumanizing Palestinians and justifying their killings. She was very specific with the tweet. She also in another episode defended a politician whose family was killed in a bombing of a Christian church in Palestine and gave condolences on Twitter, and argued with an pro Israeli person who was lashing out at her for it. Theres other examples of her pushing back at pro Israeli people in America so with Ben it’s more than just that one tweet.

[ChrisCardenDrums]

She's not going anywhere though. They need their audience to have the black woman they agree with so that means they're not racist and misogynistic.

[JamesCarter]

I’ve always found it hilarious how Ben has built his entire career dunking on social justice warriors, only for him to suddenly transform into the biggest social justice warrior imaginable whenever Israel is brought up 🤨

[trappedinamerica]

Ben and Candace can settle it like a Republican senator and a union leader. That being in a cage match. My money would be on Candace in that match up btw.

[deemays]

I find it very "disgraceful " that Ben would stand up and openly insult Candace. He is sinking to an all time low.

[maksio-cj]

She wasnt anti isreal or anti palastine she just said no government should have the right to commit genocide, how can ben call that disgraceful its common sense.
