"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.

[TempehLiberation]

Cannon Jesus: Heals a leper
Conservative Jesus: Asks for a copay first.

[jefferyburns]

They pick Guns over Jesus and children. What do u expect??

[Fourtune]

I’ve been saying for years that conservatives love trump more than Jesus.

[ousfo]

I’ve been saying this for years… these people would hate Jesus if he were alive today

[cursive]

Just like it's never actually 'for the kids' it's never about Jesus and his teachings. He is a mascot. A vessel they can use to rationalize their hate.

[bloo]

How could anyone be alarmed by this? The religious right has hated everything christ was supposed to have stood for as long as I can remember....

[BaithNa]

We all knew this.
If Jesus was real and alive today, conservatives would hate him and his "woke" ideologies.

[MARTIALUMMA]

What did they expect when they talk about Trump with the same exact passion they use to talk about God

[Perekele]

They are not just in a cult. They are fascists. This is the way fascists have behaved all around the world before.

[jamesparson]

In the name of the Father, the Junior, and the Third Wife,
Amen

[buddygrimfield]

I was wondering when they would be exposed for their (up to now) silent disdain for the teaching of Jesus.

[elcaballeronyc]

The ironic thing is the Pastor complaining about it was one of the ones that spearheaded the evangelical movement into politics in the first place. He helped create the very thing he now decries

[joesciacca]

This is one of my favorite videos in a while. As a Christian, who sees Jesus, as the first socialist and loving and accepting of all people no matter who they are, I love this.

[chrisharris]

This is what happens when you mix religion with politics. Could also explain why more people have turned away from religion altogether.

[TheSlackerElite]

They were never the turn the other cheek people, they're the eye for an eye types.

[NappyRootzz]

It’s insane. I remember once going to church and the pastor was giving a sermon about taking care of strangers and sojourners. After the service we are having side conversations at lunch and a church member says that if he found out that his neighbor was an illegal he would turn them in. I was like. Did we just listen to the same sermon??? It’s quite strange!!!!

[joe]

Well we saw this one coming. What was that quote from the Bible. Beware of false prophets.

[maltymcfry]

actual Christian here, can confirm this is the natural conclusion a christian nationalist (which isn’t christianity at all) will come to when they actual hear or read the teachings of Jesus

[TheTaintedWisdom]

Evangelicals: (Spend decades supporting sociopathic Republicans that preach everything Jesus was against.)
Congregations: (Turn against Jesus.)
Evangelicals: (Surprised Pikachu face.)

[barblc]

So much for the basic Evangelical claim of accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour!
