"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.

Taylor wrote “You Need To Calm Down” like 5 years ago, making fun of people like Trump. The fact that Trump is shocked that Taylor is supporting democrats is absolutely hilarious

Imagine Ronald Reagan going after Michael Jackson in the early 80s.

Taylor Swift should have a concert in Pennsylvania on Election Day, and then remind her fans to go vote after the show.

Like a child who pokes a beehive, gets stung, and cries out: "I HATE BEES!"

Thing is, Taylor didn’t say anything about Trump. He really has nothing to react to😂

They’re eating dogs. They’re eating cats. They’re eating pets.

It’s a 78 year old presidential candidate and Ex president saying he hates a young famous woman is effing pathetic no matter who it is . Just sounds and looks damn stupid.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say screaming "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" probably doesn't help Trump. 😂

There's an 81% chance he's drawing mean cartoons of her in his little notebook with stink lines coming off of her and X'd out eyes and it says like "TAYLOR SUXX!!!" or something.

My favorite tweet about this was back to back headlines with “Trump says he hates Taylor Swift” and “Gunman found at Trump’s golf course” with the caption: Swifties work fast.

He has regressed from 10 year old 5th grade bully to 8 year old 3rd grader: I HATE YOU.

I love Taylor Swift, and I hate Donald Trump. Swift gives people entertainment and Trump gives people hate and grief.

I’ve actually listened to Taylor Swift for the first time. That’s some catchy stuff! I would never have taken the time were it not for the Donald. I think the best analogy would be the opposite of the Streisand Effect.

Seriously, this is like, the most unforced error ever in modern political history. Pissing off at least 50% of the Swifties, is nuts.

Hating on Taylor Swift when you're trying to win a nationwide popularity contest is... a choice.
