"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.

What a squeaker. Man I hate how there is people out there that actually believe this stuff. I hate the current status quo I agree with you on 3 day or 4 day work week, there is more to life than just working working working my gosh this is soo toxic.

[@RaghuvirMohanta]

We should be careful on money useage,if you are not spending to earn back,then stop spending.

[@FannyMontage-xu8id]

People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

[@grizbaseball]

Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.

[@datguy82]

Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

[@uacdcalvin]

I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommend Mr Brian Nelson. I met him at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

[@BigNate82]

Sounds interesting. I was planning to invest some few £ in some coins, stack them up and leave them for a few years, but seeing this changed my mindset. Thank you very much

ben shapino: "its INSANE people BELIEVE they have the RIGHT to LIVE"

[@robertb755]

I don't think he'd argue that. Dead people provide no labor.

[@ColinJoseph5154]

He’s also framing it, like people are forced to retire at the legal retirement age.

[@georgegraham9206]

I just retired after 41 years as a pharmacist. I perceived my performance to be slipping and I didn't want to be responsible for any mistakes. As Tony Orlando sang.. I'm coming home I've done my time

[@jdimare7022]

My grandma retired when I was in second grade…I am now 45 she is still alive turning 100 in 3 months…retirement doesn’t kill you. She has good genes and loved her family and friends…I have never heard her say yeah I wish I worked longer.

[@romez8361]

BACK TO THE FIELDS....

[@gothboschincarnate3931]

..or the mines. Or is it just poor children that work in the mines these days??

[@romez8361]

Yup.... On top of that.. No regulations. No union... And struggles to keep up with the new pre teen workforce.. No village to raise families because they are all in the fields.... Go ahead vote against your own interests.... While this goon gets paid by corporate interest and chamber of commerce...

[@lexis4490]

Can someone ask Ben how would the job market would even support seniors and first time employers? We can’t even get one more position at my job, despite all the work that’s coming in.

[@nunyabizz50]

In reality everyone should have full retirement at age 50, can wait until 55 to get a higher payout. Retirement/social security should be $4000/month plus free Medicare at age 50, and $4500+ at age 55 and 55 should be mandatory. This would open up good paying jobs for younger workers and nobody sane should wish to work past age 50. I retired at age 49 and best thing I ever did

Ben Shapiro: Work until you die!

[@Ninthtail9]

How are you watching Ben Shapiro at 1.75x speed ...Meth Shapiro 👀👀👀

[@kain9407]

It's 67 for most people now.

[@Dr.Beetlejuice110]

Work till your dead is basically what they want.

[@johndally7994]

Ben,you don’t work. What you do is not work. I’m retired and my body is a wreck because I worked for fifty plus years. Don’t trust anyone who talks like a chipmunk.

[@jacobcounty]

This is the Kyle we love

[@Ian_L1994]

Please, Ben Shapiro has never worked a day in his damn life.

[@salassian3162]

7:47 Shapero's rant could have been taken from Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged. A libertarian's wet dream.

[@18Demonslayer]

Never knew a mans nuts couldn't drop until I heard Benny talk

[@chooch027]

Imagine paying thousands of dollars into social security just to get forced into perpetual wage slavery. My god, what is wrong with people.

[@lukeluke333lukeluke]

There's so much more to life then work. My granddad retired at 42 and lived life and did so much more then when he was working. I wish I could retire at 50. I can easily stay busy and not having to deal with stress from my job sounds like a dream.

[@DarkMustard1337]

Been waiting for thiiiiis

[@yarnpower]

Right, he lives in a world where people work but then they have other people doing their housework, laundry, food shopping, lawn care, etc.

[@josuerodriguez9682]

The U.S. retirement age is 72. People dying 5, 6 years after retiring at 65 is why the retirement age should be lowered.

[@roybarnes-thewildlifeman1855]

Your comments are brilliant. So on point. Impressive!

[@sgtaaronp]

So what about the military? I was able to retire after 20 years, so that's just dumb now?

[@edmundstrunkis1886]

Ben Shaprio: Instead of taxing rich people like me, why not make people retire later and cut social security and medicare? Reasonable idea for people like me - I mean for most Americans, right, right, am I RIGHT?

[@xSayPleasex]

Exactly why do rich people only pay SS tax up to 160K earnings. It's a freakin regressive tax and these rich elite assholes STILL think the poor people shouldn't get it.

[@jasonspain3554]

Gotta give Kyle credit. The way he laid into Ben made me seriously laugh out loud. The whole out of touch monical and top hat comment was brilliant.

[@andrebarrett9095]

My grandfather retired at 42 something and lived to 62. He found much to do as hobbies and was able to spend time with family regularly. This country is obsessed with work today and thinks that's all there is to life. Half the retired aged people are still working and paying taxes and a hell of a lot of people are not living long enough to reach retirement age but have worked themselves to death and still being counted in the so called average life expectancy. Most people work through their vacation being unable to afford a vacation or have nobody to share vacation with because everyone is too busy or too broke. I'm 70 and I decided to retire this year. Haven't done it yet but I will this summer. Think I'll volunteer to help with the Democratic party to try to save this country from Dictatorship in my lifetime. Vote 💙 Blue.

[@davem7722]

The reality is the majority of the money is held by the older generation, when they retire that money gets pulled from the market and they can't let that happen. Amazing what happens when you screwed the younger generations

[@bigrob1887]

Preach Kyle, Preach!

[@fullmooneve1651]

Haha nah. He can go do heavy manual work til he's 100 though. By all means

[@BananaHams]

Glad, again, that I'm not in the US. I work to live, not live to work. I'm fortunate that I like my job, and I have a lot of flexibility (not stuck to 9-5 Mon to Fri). I'm also in a union. I've been at the same place for 20+yrs and am now at five weeks vacation and have decent benefits. I'm 50 and totally looking for a way to retire in five years. Hubs is too. There's so many places to see, wine to drink, weed to puff, books to read (stacks and stacks), and gaming sessions to play. The American Dream is such a joke to a lot of the rest of the world.

[@Boris80b]

Ah... a conservative advocating for the status quo. Who would have thought?!

[@drexeldragon1723]

Keep saying stupid shit like this! I love it!

[@panamafloyd1469]

I really think there's something else going on as well. I absolutely loved what I did for a living (television). But after a couple of mergers, my workplace changed. We used to take long-time industry professionals, throw 'em a couple of business classes, and promote them to management. After the corporate takeovers, all those people were replaced with Business School grads that cared about nothing but profit. Quality of our product didn't matter, lives of the people producing it didn't matter, and probably a dozen other things I've forgotten. I still loved "the work", but came to hate "the job". I've talked with folks in other industries that say the same thing happened to them. I wonder how many of that 'unhappy' 85% are people like us.
