The driver had his phone hooked up through the stereo and was pumping out an episode through the car speakers \u2014 loudly, as if looking to convert a captive audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you like Kyle Kulinski?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe understands what we\u2019re up against,\u201d Ahmed said. \u201cLike Bernie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But I was surprised to hear Kulinski\u2019s name mentioned in the same breath as Bernie Sanders, particularly with such adoration. Because what I did remember about Kulinski\u2019s show struck me as mostly capital-P \u201cprogressive\u201d takes on the news \u2014 the left wing of the Netroots crowd more than the democratic socialism Sanders has popularized.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an impression that wasn\u2019t entirely incorrect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no time for philosophical, airy bullshit,\u201d Kulinski tells me from his home in Westchester, New York. \u201cI don\u2019t want to hear about Lenin. I don\u2019t want to hear about Marx. I just want a super plainspoken, straightforward agenda with a straightforward way of selling it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2014 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\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s fiery rhetoric, razor-sharp class instincts, and knack for withering takedowns sets him apart from his peers. Judging by his rhetoric alone, he\u2019s closer to a Eugene Debs than a Chris Hayes.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike Hayes, Amy Goodman, or his friend Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks \u2014 who began airing Secular Talk on his web network seven years ago \u2014 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 \u201cthe Millennial Left\u201d pumped out by the prestige media. Nor has Kulinski\u2019s 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 \u201cthe Squad\u201d to power.<\/p>\n<p>Just last week, his Wikipedia page was deleted. The reason? \u201cThere is very simply no [reliable source] coverage of this person,\u201d according to one moderator. In new media, he\u2019s king \u2014 the Sean Hannity of the Berniecrat left. In old media, he\u2019s nobody.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect there are a few reasons for that. There is nothing \u201ccool\u201d about Kulinski\u2019s show. (As a friend put it, \u201c\u2018Welcome to Secular Talk\u2019 sounds like something you\u2019d hear on Egyptian radio.\u201d) His no-nonsense social-democratic politics won\u2019t 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 \u201cDirtbag Left.\u201d Nor has he ever attended an n+1 release party. \u201cNot only have I not attended one,\u201d he says, \u201cI have no idea what that means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yet he\u2019s 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\u2019s wildly popular show, introduced them. \u201cYou make the most sense to me,\u201d Rogan told Kulinski on a recent episode. \u201cYou\u2019re a normal person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much like Sanders himself, Kulinski\u2019s show has a massive audience that just doesn\u2019t compute with our media\u2019s understanding of \u201cwhat the kids want\u201d or even \u201cwhat the left-wing kids want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s probably for the best \u2014 the very woke and very WASP-ish decorum haunting much of the media world is nowhere to be found in Secular Talk. \u201cCorporate Democrats over-focus on identity as a trick to divert you from the issues that unite us all \u2014 class issues,\u201d he said on a recent episode. \u201cThat Raytheon decided they don\u2019t hate gays or trans people \u2014 frankly, I don\u2019t really give a shit what their take on that is&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read More Here!:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/jacobinmag.com\/2020\/03\/kyle-kulinski-bernie-bros-secular-talk-joe-rogan-youtube<\/p>\n<p>#KyleKulinski #SecularTalk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support The Show On Patreon!: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/seculartalk Subscribe to Krystal Kyle &#038; Friends On <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":585221,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[422306,300570,429912,429907,429908,297150,240641,429905,429914,32250,429910,263401,429904,429902,55348,429901,429906,429899,429900,180345,163887,10393,53052,217886,131479,51184,429903,40818,57898,429909,429913,422304,236280,429911],"class_list":{"0":"post-585220","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japanese-anime","8":"tag-ana-kasparian","9":"tag-aoc","10":"tag-bernie-sanders","11":"tag-bill-maher","12":"tag-breaking-points","13":"tag-cenk-uygur","14":"tag-current-events","15":"tag-david-doel","16":"tag-economics","17":"tag-experience","18":"tag-glenn-greenwald","19":"tag-hasan-piker","20":"tag-humanist-report","21":"tag-jimmy-dore","22":"tag-joe-rogan","23":"tag-krystal-ball","24":"tag-krystal-kyle-friends","25":"tag-kyle-kulinski","26":"tag-kyle-kulinski-show","27":"tag-left","28":"tag-liberal","29":"tag-news","30":"tag-philosophy","31":"tag-politics","32":"tag-progressive","33":"tag-psychology","34":"tag-rational-national","35":"tag-re-main","36":"tag-rising","37":"tag-saagar-enjeti","38":"tag-the-squad","39":"tag-the-young-turks","40":"tag-tyt","41":"tag-vaush"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585220"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585220\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
