“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.

Vivek Ramaswamey is the dark horse candidate of 2024
Conservative Logic is essentially yes we may have nuanced ideas, goals, and moralities from each other. But none of that matters because Murica!
The crazy right is already attacking this dude because he’s Hindi. It’s amazing how racists and white nationalist the GOP is.
I'M NOT VOTING FOR THESE TWO OPPORTUNIST AND RACIST.
THEY ARE OPPORTUNIST ONLY.
THEIR VIEWS ARE DERANGED.
RAMASWAMY NEEDS TO STICK TO HIS PRIVATE BUSINESS.
HE'S MAGA WORLD AND NO THANK YOU.
WE DON'T NEED THESE NEW PEOPLE TO F….K UP THE GOVERNMENT.
I DON'T LIKE ANYTHING ABOUT RAMASWAMY OR NIMRATA HALEY.
HE'S ARROGANT, SELF RIGHTEOUS AND COCKY.
VOTE HIM OUT. ANOTHER SELL OUT.
Vivek has the same cadence and nerdiness in his pitch as Howard Hamlin from Better Call Saul
The smart money says that neither Ramaswamy nor Haley will get the nomination.
What the hell is Vivet varsasassssawmhy talking about 😂😂😂😂😂
Deepstate Nikki and Commie Salami stand 0 chance
No, Vivek is more human. Pete is, at most, a cyborg.
He's a wannabe Ben Shapiro, which is even more sad than actually being Ben Shapiro
I believe Vivek's numbers going up, but Haley's are astroturfed. Vivek is at least plAUsIblY anti-establishment, Haley is just blatantly and unapologetically an establishment shill.
Oh my, Kyle! I'm dying 😂 with this coverage. You're hilarious af.
Republican Pete Buttigieg is running on 'the Republican Party is not a minority party that is getting more and more extreme and disconnected from reality' and also 'there are institutions and structures in America that profit neoliberals and neoconservatives' and somehow is wrong on both.
By the way who is This Commie propoganda grand pa Joker 😂😂😂 crying 😭😭 on Vivek
I enjoy listening to Vivek as he is clearly a great communicator in contrast to the other moron of Indian background currently in power but I still plan to vote for Trump as I strongly believe he is the only “viable” candidate to get the job done, America is experiencing a slow death & will turn into a 3rd world basket case if the leadership is not changed soon, Vivek has zero chance going against the deep state as they will chew him up in no time, we need a vicious pit-bull like Trump to take on the swamp & plus he has a better idea now since he was in power once unlike Vivek who is like a cute frenchie you would love to own
Do people just put ‘ism’ on a word and think that’s an ideology??
Hey Ken
When you kick back, it hurts more when you're wearing heels – Ron Desantis
Haleys add is a lot better overall. But her moment to run is long gone. Trump will demolish all of these clowns in the debates.
@secular talk, hey Kyle what’s your fave vape? I’m serious and Sam has been promoting these Zippick toothpicks to quit, any thoughts? I like the Orion bar myself but it’s time for me to quit.Also!! Great work my man!
So I took a break from politics for a good 6 months I used to watch Kyle everyday. I forgot how much of a savage this man is. This man needs a bigger voice everything he says is pure gold. it's like everything he says is what we are thinking but actually expressed into words that sound fucking great. Keep up the good work kyle. I really forgot how entertaining you were.
Dumb opinions aside, who would elect someone with a Dracula widows-peak hairline?
Trump and trump supporters about to show ramaswamy what they really think of him, even though he thinks he’s actually in the club. 😆
You know if you ask Ramaswamy he will probably do an interview with you too. I respect your thoughts but when you are talking about a guy like Vivek i don't think a 3 min video is enough to judge. This guy is actually a genius and you don't have to be blue or red to tell that. I'd suggest you talk to him like breakfast club and other pro left platforms did.
I mean lol he looks like a dark Skin Vegeta From dragon balls Z I mean his forehead and his hairstyle it’s all dragon ball Z lol
Vivek is right about religion. I’m very left but there are many ideologies that act as religions now. It’s true. Most humans are hardwired to follow a set of beliefs.
Is breast cancerism a thing? 🙂
Kyle being this spiteful is music to my ears.
I wonder how he will reply when he’s asked about how Christians are treated in India considering his voters are conservative Christians and he’s a hindu.
OMG… he is the right's Pete. I couldn't put my finger on who he reminded me of, but he's an insufferable, platitude filled, conservative empty suit.
🤣 another republican 🤡
Remember, Nikki's last name was Randhawa. Changed later to Haley to get a better chance of getting a job. She in her ads states that America isn't racist or bigoted.
Being a businessman in the US is literally the same as being a politician.
They are both Indians
Never underestimate indians andvthe long Tradition of over 8000yrs
The founders of Yoga, Acupuncture (few know this is also from India), herbal remedies, the land of over 800 languages, Ghandi & Mother Teresa
A proud people
Merit, Exceptionalism, Tradition, conservatism, God
Never underestimate the Indian people
nikki haley is only beating de sanctis in south carolina, which is her home state. i wouldnt read too much into it.
Hard work has disappeared? Yes, I'd say the billionaires are not working for their fortunes. Anyone at the bottom who gives up due to the futility of the system that the billionaires pretty much own, is actually fairly intelligent.
you really have this ability to make me excited for the presidential race, just because it feels like your prime time, like when i discovered you in 2016, despite all the shit i can rely on some hilarious minutes of secular talk roasting the candidates
a politician since the fetus :DD made me squirt my milk
the republican pete bootyjudge – i agree
I'm a devout covidist I wash myself with the vaccine and pray to dr Fauci five times a day! Woke Akbar!
this is comedy gold!
Ramasmarmy
Kyle you and your wife need to go away
He talk about the best ideas winning even as his party is working to resurrect horrible ideas that we though had been consigned to the dust bin of history early in the last century. Seems like even if you try to block the most evil/vile ideas humans have ever had from being part of public discourse, from getting serious consideration as if thye are utterly evil? Guys like Vivek will cry cancel culture,
Vivek Ramaswamy POTUS 2024! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wasn't sure at first, but Republican Pete Buttigieg is perfect. Completely empty vessel with nothing behind the eyes. Capitalist sociopath who's actually super dumb. Thinks people like him but actually most people want to punch him in the face. 🤌
