“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.

On a recent episode of The Kyle Kulinski Show, political commentator Kyle Kulinski delved into the unfolding SVB crisis, where two major banks faced collapse and subsequently received an instant bailout. This shocking development raises important questions about the state of our financial system and the seemingly never-ending cycle of corporate greed and government intervention.

The SVB crisis refers to the collapse of two big banks, whose identities remain undisclosed at the time of writing. This, of course, adds further intrigue to an already complicated situation. These two banks, on the brink of financial ruin, faced a massive liquidity crisis that threatened to shake the entire economic structure.

This crisis was not a result of unforeseen circumstances or natural disasters, but rather the consequence of reckless practices that have plagued the financial industry for decades. These banks engaged in risky investments and made questionable decisions that eventually caught up with them. In a truly free market, such mistakes would result in the downfall of the institutions responsible. However, as we have repeatedly witnessed, the concept of a free market is continually distorted by government interventions.

As the banks in question faced imminent collapse, the government swiftly intervened to provide them with a bailout. This instant infusion of vast amounts of taxpayer money saved the day, but at what cost? The working class, struggling to make ends meet, once again witnessed their hard-earned money being utilized to save the reckless and irresponsible actions of wealthy executives. The true beneficiaries of this bailout were not the ordinary citizens who rely on these banks for their financial needs, but rather the top-tier executives who reaped massive rewards while jeopardizing the stability of our economy.

The recurring pattern of bailing out these institutions creates moral hazards. When banks know that they will be rescued from the consequences of their actions, they are encouraged to engage in increasingly risky behavior. This dynamic incentivizes reckless decision-making and contributes to the systemic issues that plague our financial sector.

Moreover, this bailout sends a distressing message to the American people. It reinforces the perception that the government prioritizes the interests of large corporations over those of ordinary citizens. While everyday Americans continue to face economic uncertainty and struggle to put food on the table, banks are rewarded for their failures without taking any real responsibility for their actions. This disconnect between corporate welfare and the needs of the working class is a damning reflection of our society’s priorities.

The SVB crisis unveiled yet again the deep-rooted flaws within our system. It highlights the urgent need for comprehensive financial reform that holds banks accountable for their actions and ensures the stability and security of our economy. Ordinary citizens should not bear the burden of corporate recklessness, nor should they continuously bail out institutions that operate above the law.

As we move forward, it is crucial that we engage in open dialogue and activism to demand change. We must challenge the cozy relationship between government and big banks, demanding transparency, accountability, and a fair system that truly benefits all members of society. The Kyle Kulinski Show offers a platform for these important discussions, shedding light on the pervasive issues within our financial sector and inspiring others to take action.

In conclusion, the SVB crisis serves as a stark reminder of the broken state of our financial system. The instant bailout of two collapsing banks illustrates the continuing cycle of corporate greed and government intervention. It is high time for comprehensive financial reform that prioritizes the needs of the working class and holds irresponsible institutions accountable for their actions.
