"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 KZbin. 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 KZbin, 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. “That Raytheon decided they don’t hate gays or trans people - frankly, I don’t really give a shit what their take on that is..."

And the conclusion that is stated here, where the others like kyle that include dollemar, pakman and how many others are guilty of the same bias. ONE thing I do note is when Kari Lake is asked a 'gotya' questions + to her, she has, does and will turn it around for the blubbering left leaning reporters. A bipartisan problem, where the left have their ways to avoid answering point. Think of Harris and her letter soup, ie time, That matter that is more significant is the civil engagement, where everyone else is smarter at the end of the day, and we make better choices.

He doesn't want to ban the guns, Brooke. He's a dangerous man.

[@randomfullywonderful]

@@Staffer8 He also don't want to ban *GUNS.*

[@sndspderbytes]

No real American wants to ban guns the second amendment allows people to have some arms they can carry and that includes fire arms . The first arms that were prohibited in major cities were big knives mostly Bowie knives with blades over 9" inches because that was the weapon most men could afford. Civilized people got sick of knife fights and the first 2nd amendment restriction occurred in 1830 or so city by city. Small towns often had gun restrictions and private business had the right to disarm customets. To this day if your going into a club where weapons are not allowed if you discreetly ask the head bouncer to hold your weapon for you till you leave they often will as a reamnant of past etiquette. Most right wingers think arms means fire arms but arms mean arms and most arms are illegal like hand grenades and mortars so the right to bear or carry arms iis not absolute which mean the right to carry firearms is not absolute. The cities should have the right to ban any type of firearm that is popular for committing crimes in public. The founding fathers would be disgusted with people who insisted assault rifles stay legal even though they are the weapon of choice for school shooters. Cities should have the right to ban them in city limits. State rights should not exclude urban rights. The founding fathers would have banned assault rifles the first time they were used against school kids while at school. It makes sense people that think their favorite President should be able to leave classified documents concerning nuclear weapons in a box in an unlocked storage facil II th in a private club full of spies in order to give more people a reason to join the club and pay dues. The fact is Trump has kept top secret documents in boxes in the unlocked storage room in Maralargo since he first became President. The top secret documents were boring useless things that Trump only liked the fact that leaving them out and accessible to scan or take would attract people to join the club and pay their dues. Trump thinks classified intelligence is beyond boring he could care less about who gets it and what the consequences might be so of course people that think Trump should be able to leave classified intelligentce out for enemy spies also dont care at all about assault rifles being used to kill school children it means nothing to them. Its funny to watch real journalist and public officials that believe Trump only recently stared leaving boxes of open secret Intel out for spies to copy when Trump has been doing that since day one.

That's kind of the genius of Trump in a way though. Now don't get me wrong I strongly hate him and despise everything he is about but you have to be honest and admit. He played everybody. Of course it was all about him yet so many people brought into him because he was the villain. Because he acted like no one else running for office before him and yet he ultimately prevailed. He can now tell people he was a president. He played the villain role perfectly and that's why people buy into him

[@baileyjones5744]

That's why I actually think he is more intelligent than people give him credit for. It's does take some level of intelligence to dupe millions of people into believing you will be a good president and have them actually vote him into office. It's one thing to con thousands of people but to con millions of people into believing something that was never true is kinda incredible. Like I think Trump knew exactly what he was doing too if he had a clear message that resonated with millions of poorly educated American's and Average Joe's working 9-5 jobs on not much income who are fed up with how their country has been run then millions of people will buy it when in reality it was never about them. It was always about him. I mean how many people can say they were a president of the United States. It was to satisfy his own ego and fulfill another life achievement. That's kind of amazing how he was able to convince so many people to buy it

We live in a comic book world where the villains that have been somewhat contained are being released with Trump,The Joker, leading the way. Its all about the ratings and Jesse is right by saying that there is no rule of law, only Trump’s spell over a vengeful public.

[@bullmoosemedia]

If nothing else, a presidential debate with Jesse would be amazing!!!

[@dansmodacct]

Would love to see governor Ventura debate president Trump 🍿

[@hafunland894]

Contrast Trump 5-time draft dodger with Jesse Ventura who served honorably as a Navy Seal. Do we have to go any further... Jesse for President!

[@stevendrumm4957]

I am a lifelong Republican, and I can't stand Trump. I have always loved Jesse. Loved him as a pro wrestling announcer, and love listening to him talking about politics now, even though I often disagree with him. He is spot on about Trump though.

[@ezyryder11]

God bless you and America 🇺🇸

[@agentorange81]

Man I do not get it ,use to be all Republican myself until after Iraq I changed ,I'm no affiliation now I vote lesser of two evils ,but I grew up 80's 90's I always had no like of trump ,his attitude ,his persona , no matter what he currently for ,he's a pos it's no mystery what he is ,this cheering home team over America is killing us all ...its madness

[@verbaljohnwilkesboot]

I like Jesse Ventura. I dont agree with him on everything, maybe like 50-60%. But he's honest and critical of those in power, so I consider him an ally to our cause.

[@casesoutherland4175]

Holy s***!!! YES!!! KYLE KULINSKI AND JESSE VENTURA HAVING A CONVERSATION!!

[@acason4]

Incredible interview. This has all been painfully obvious throughout the years, but hearing it elucidated with such detail & logic is fascinating…

[@thesilliestbetch]

MORE OF THIS TEAM !

[@Sharper714]

Kyle sucking on that vape pen like Al Capone smoking a cigar 😂

[@bentoomet8805]

There’s something I don’t agree with Jesse on like abolishing the Department of Education. But he’s certainly the most honest candidate next to Bernie.

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

We need to do something about our education system because what we're doing now is not working and getting worse and worse as anti education movement is gaining more and more power and influence.

[@mmedrano8334]

I like how liberals now love Jesse Ventura and have forgotten his conspiracy theories.

[@vladomie]

Wow! This may be the most insightful analysis of Donald Trump ever.

[@ericjahnke7996]

To expand on Jesse’s point Trump isn’t the only one who portrays himself as a WWE Villain all of the establishment is. Obama and Biden were both against Gay Marriage before they became the champions for LGBTQ rights, they were also against immigrants crossing the border before supporting open borders. It goes both ways on the political spectrum.

[@luchan7765]

Jessie we love you!! 💕 Always making clear point with bravery and honesty.

[@RationalGaze216]

Jesse's always been so honest it's bizarre. Last time he flirted with running for president he publicly told the oppo researchers they had overlooked his time as Sgt at arms in a biker gang.

[@nicholasbuckley8830]

I have been hoping for the last 2 election cycles Jesse would run for president. Can't wait to hear the whole podcast

[@jesse75]

If he was president, there would be no border between Mexico and United States. All hell would fall apart.

[@imhackedagain]

He can say that about Trump flip flopping, Jesse used to want to be independent, but sides more on the left, but then believes in people's freedom of owning guns, he had an argument with Piers Morgan about gun control years back. Then Jesse also wanted open borders, and the only reason why he wanted open borders because he lives in mexico half of the year is why, he has dual citizenship with USA & Mexico he said that on the Howard Stern show. Jesse really can't fly because he has metal in his body, so he just wants it open borders for himself. I used to like Jesse, but he's all over the place, he said he was tired of Coke & Pepsi of only picking from these two parties, but still favors the left. As years went by this guy is just a mess with politicial views, and can never make up his mind. So I guess he really likes pepsi now right? and NOT Independent. I mean I remember him releasing a book called democrips and rebloodlicans because he couldn't stand either party, he just flip flops now.

[@shortstuff780]

No idea who this guy is, but I can listen to him just speak about things i could care less about. Never understand wrestling But this guy is great

[@sampats89]

I'm assuming you're super young. He's one of the big time wrestlers but he's in the movie predator, he was involved with politics and he sued that American sniper guy for defamation. Loose unit.

[@shortstuff780]

@@sampats89 I wouldn't go as far as saying super young haha just oblivious. I'm 30, but thanks for the information. Like I said, I never understood the hype when it came to wrestling never my thing. But he seems genuinely smart and intelligent. Definitely don't mind reading more about him

[@sampats89]

@@shortstuff780 I'm not a wrestling guy (or much older than you) just know him because he's super famous lol I've seen a few interviews and stuff he's an interesting character sure, but I wouldn't say he's intelligent lol Guy figured out that Trump is self serving and talks about being a wrestling commentator like he was delivering a Shakespearean soliloquy every night lol

[@ase2060]

A jack of trades. I respect your opinion, but I wouldn't say he's not intelligent.

[@shortstuff780]

@@sampats89 hahaha, definitely. I'm definitely going to be doing my research on this guy, he definitely sparked some interest to me

[@smiley-qb3nt]

Jesse has become leftist but he says he belongs to neither party

Jesse is great, I love him, there is no lying in him.

[@Firehorse40]

Donald Trump does everything for Donald Trump. Been saying that for at least 7 or 8 years now. I agree, Mr. Ventura!

[@KingUSMCO]

jesse is out there but he has a spine so that is commendable and i will always appreciate him.

[@NOV123]

What makes a villain so respected is that they are the mouthpiece for the fearful. They say what people want to say but are afraid to do THEY won’t become a villain.

[@DamianLoved]

This podcast/ show keeps getting better and better. Could not ask for a better guest as well, Ventura cracks me up

[@DonWinslow-cn7zx]

When Jesse was on the mic, sitting next to Vince, I always laughed my ass off. Jesse was funny as hell. I remember when he first called Tito Santana "Chico". I was about 13, and rolling on the floor of our living room. 😂😭🤣🙂

[@jacktravis2433]

Jesse Ventura , here's a clue for ya..... the people know exactly who Trump is and that's why they voted for him......he doesn't give shit and says and does exactly what needs to be done, not what lines congress pockets ! He's the right man for the job.

[@sherrysnyder4195]

Jesse was for vaccine mandates. I lost respect for Jesse. I loved him as a Governor of Minnesota

[@Gnigghunter]

That's a real litmus test for these guys, isn't it? Norm Chomsky failed it too, out there squawking about putting antivaxxers into concentration camps. Now all that crap is just dropped and we'll pretend like these ideological leaders of the left aren't flaming fascists made in the very same mold as Stalin or Hitler.

[@justinbmad]

Ventura is a freaking classic! I did not expect his views on trump to be what they are. Incredible interview guys! He nailed Trumps persona so well 👍

[@greyskywarren6028]

Jesse Ventura was one of the greatest color commentators ever. But, the fact that he is against Trump because he "plays the heel", yet he himself portrayed a heel his entire career is kinda weird.

[@bydefault7795]

Kyle is going full clickbait!!! Kudos, Kyle!!! You're crushing it!!!!!

[@sama2903]

As somebody who has listened to every Jesse interview from 2009-2016, I know all of these lines verbatim xDD Jesse never changes a single detail in his stories. That's how you know he's being truthful.

[@corrlee]

I can’t get enough of the idea of JV running in 2024…let’s GO!!

[@austintrousdale2397]

Might be a natural pick for the Forward Party, even though Jesse governed in the late 90s.

[@gregorsamsa1364]

Ventura was all over Trump's nuts in 2016 until he realized he wasn't getting the VP spot. Then he very suddenly became all passionately anti-Trump

[@rogersmith7396]

Don't trust him.

[@jeffbalagna9259]

He's one of those guys that needs you to react in awe of him

[@turkey0165]

Jessie, have you ever believed in something and told people your belief and then the years fall on you and you look back and on the world entirely now differently than when you were young! I look back and say I've made mistakes and dont beleive anymore in some things than what I beleive in today! Im sure TRUMP thinks thst way, i know I've made mistake and beleive otherwise NOW!

Jesse needs to lay off the drugs

[@MoonDoggie-hs2se]

Or maybe you need to start taking your medication.

[@thesho_music]

Really looking forward to hearing more of his thoughts on Trump. I recall reading years back that Trump visited Jesse after he won in the 90’s and was fascinated by his success. Very interesting

[@KaiElan]

As someone who knows virtually nothing about wrestling beyond what I hear second hand from the comedian Will Sasso, this was one of the most incredibly unexpectedly illuminating insights into the modus operandi of that idiot savant I've heard yet

[@user-wv5gv3dw5u]

Love Jesse. Used to think he was "Out There" but just about everything he's said the last 20ish years has been proven. Maybe I'm biased as a Minnesotan

[@Rob_Cary]

Funny how all the pro Trump people who visit secular talk daily aren't on this one lol. Cuz this one literally can't be argued with.

[@rogersmith7396]

They can't handle the truth. Their lies have no impact. The way God intended.
