"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 TH-cam. 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 TH-cam, 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.

I wish people wouldn't call horrible people "weasels." Weasels are beautiful and fierce little creatures that don't deserve to be compared to slimy crooks and jerks. I raised one from a little baby and must defend their honor.
I prefer leech or opportunistic infection lol.

Awwww
You did your weasel proud here today. 👍🏻
Her point is basically, "we're the good guys, and we're all super smart. You can trust us to spend the money wisely." Yeah, ok.
Exactly.
"We're the experts. We know what we are doing....we just cannot account for 59% of the military budget. There is no reason for you to question us."🙄
"I dunno where the money went, no one does. But trust me, we're super smart and we would only put it into top notch stuff, so that stuff must be around here somewhere, right?"
It's in the hands of top men. Top.....men.
The amount of smug this woman has is insane
Infuriating

Beautiful! 💪
"I don't know" is not an explanation, it's incompetence and/or corruption.
"Let's talk about food stamps". She wanted to change the convo.

Such gross sociopathic behaviour. Oh, you want to know where the trillions of dollars in taxes you've paid went that could have been used to literally end most poverty in the country? I'll just giggle and laugh about it.

Lol my father, Executive VP of auditing at a major bank laughed hysterically at her response. Jon is describing accurately that this is fraud, waste, or a abuse, because as the old man said, if one of the branches of the bank answered him like this, there would be many new vacancies at the bank in the coming months

What’s your take on the banking collapse, trust fund liberal?
I know everyone was as infuriated as I was listening to the smug condescension from this woman. Outrageous.
People like her do think they are better than everyone. She is so competent, that she can’t even tell where half the shit is.
I love Jon Stewart, and agree the DoD (and most of the Government) has a corruption problem... however, audits don't detect corruption... investigations do. An audit might uncover some of the symptoms of corruption, but its investigatory work which uncovers the linkages between the available data, potential conflicts of interest, and possible motivations. Expecting an audit to reveal corruption is like expecting a dispatcher at a fire department to deploy to fight fires... that's not their role. Jon is trying to shoe-horn responsibility where it doesn't belong. Instead, he should be suggesting strengthening the IG (Inspector General) through funds and personnel... as it is quite literally the IG's job to detect and investigate corruption within the DoD.
I want Jon Stewart for President.
Yes. Why? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE!! Guys like him who actually are not seeking power
People in high places will never let that happen
@@erikarabie Exactly! We need people that don't want the job, but they need to be in to help people.
@@Differentbutrational If Trump can do it and join the establishment from the outside I think if someone like Stewart wanted it he could probably do it.
I do like Steward.
And the fact that he doesnt want the job makes me want him even more.
On the other hand I think about the entertainers and actors america already HAS elected into office and how that turned out, and cannot help but understand his reluctance.
But then competent technocrats do not tend to be charming, do they?
That intro caught me so off guard it was fucken hilarious
This woman made my blood boil. These corporate cronies in gov't think so little of us that they don't even believe we deserve to even ask about their corruption.
Yeah. Politics filled with people like her.
It's just amazing to me that this woman thought being shrill, defensive and hostile was going to be good optics.
Don’t forget snide and condescending.
@@AHersheyHere That too. It's just about the worst possible way to handle the situation short of having a full blown temper tantrum and storming off stage.
It amazes me that these people think Jon is a funny clown looking for laughs.
Jon is as serious as a muthafuking heart attack!
Extreme confidence, condescension, unawareness of how she comes across and she is removed from reality to a good degree. We are witnessing the miracle of cocaine.
She doesn't care. There are no consequences to her actions.
It's not just institutional, she's the dissonant elitist that both leftist AND conservative nightmares are built upon. She's someone we can all agree to hate.
This man gets it
Hopefully these clips puts more conservatives on to Jon Stewart.
Umm...lefties are the conservatives.
Righties are regressives and reactionaries. This is not conservative either fiscally or socially. They want to make huge changes and spend massive amounts of money.
There really are no progressives, maybe the far far left that has little political influence for anything at the moment.
US political landscape in 2023.
Actual conservatives should always see Jon Stewart as on their side. He is very conservative.
Yeah but Jon Stewart is still a weasel
@@nickthompson1812 why? He’s nothing new. He’s another fake independent asset of the establishment. How new are you, Biden bro
This really makes me want Jon Stewart to run for president.
kyle speaking to me within the first ten seconds we love😂
best first six seconds in any kulinski video 👏
Jon has been dealing directly with politicians for over a decade, ever since they tried screwing the 9/11 first responders out of health care, so he knows how to cut right through their bullshit. It's a delight to see him say exactly what you wish someone would say to these people.
You never see mainstream media presenters handle politicians like this (save for Medhi Hassan).
Beautiful intro Kyle, remarkable journalism
Hahaha...can someone explain that intro to me? I clearly missed some kind of meme because I've seen similar comments lately.
@@TheMikernet yeah, I highly approve lol. But I’m still confused 🌈😂
"We're not wasteful, we're incompetent" is a pretty bad defense, tbh.
Edit: typo fix
I hope its many many years from now but Jon Stewart will be remembered the same as George Carlin and Bill Hicks for his no bullshit take on the world and especially his own government.
Not even close. Pure delusion.
george carlin is a legend and all but lets be honest; WAY more people know who jon stewart is than either carlin or hicks lol Not even the same planet popularity and recognizability wise
I hope he’s remembered as the president who broke up monopolies
Jon Stewart is the best!
I'm loving the resurgence of Jon Stewart!
That nervous laugh was hard to watch… she obviously knows she’s cornered
0:03 the truest thing this dude’s ever said
Haha
I’m an IT system admin, if half my budget for a period couldn’t be accounted for during an audit you better believe that best case my budget is getting cut in half.
Realistically I’m getting fired along with most of the accounting department for such a huge screw up.
Just absolutely zero accountability, honestly have no idea how congress continually approves budget increases.
I had misheard that number before and thought it was 4%, not 59-61%-just unbelievable how this has slipped under the radar!
She is so abrasive and arrogant sounding.
Damn that's a helluva announcement to start on, I'm pretty disappointed Kyle. I was looking forward to the wedding pictures.
Huh? You'll still get them. Krystal the beard is just going to be his best gal now.
Her “defense” reminds me of the tenet of Scientology in Dianetics “If you don’t understand what you’re reading, it’s because you didn’t read it correctly”
Only I know the true translation!
"We are here. We are gay. And by that I mean homosexual." - Kyle Kulinski 2023
Did homeboy just come out?
He said no homo right after that. CONTEXT MATTERS.
@@AbyssalMelody I don't think anyone buys a no homo from DEMINEM.
@@waltergrace565 Give it a rest Walt, it won't catch on. It's been daily for months now, and if it were to catch on it would''ve done so by now. I'm really sorry.
The easiest way to think of this is if my inventory was audited at worked and was less than 99-100% compliant with all remediation done in a week, there'd be a shitshow, and I handle several thousand devices. I fail to see why the government can't be expected to be even half compliant.
As an Auditor, yes it's true that not being able to account for a large amount of money isn't necessarily waste, fraud or abuse.
However, it is a sign that their internal controls are not functioning properly, and that there is opportunity for waste, fraud and abuse and material misstatements.
It definitely is not a good sign if it is continous.
When I was younger, I was an assistant manager in a Walmart. We had yearly audits. One year, we were short $6000 on $300 million of earnings. The entire management team lost their yearly bonuses, which was over $200k, and the 66 year old store manager who was there for 22
years was fired, and his shares and pension were taken away. He told me he lost approximately $2 million.
This scumbag scoffs at Stewart being 'upset' about trillions of missing dollars, and keeps her job, most likely to become a CEO or chair of a defense contractor at the end of her political service.
What a horrifying country.
I love your commentary. This is the language these people have used to push back and shut us up.
Uggh she got the Kamala laugh to back up her contemptuous derision
Jon could easily become president if he wanted to.
Best Kyle intro ever.
Bro she got bodied so hard.
🦋 shout out to Kyle for keeping up with those sub plugs. It’s a necessary thing. There is no shame in it. It’s your job and you have the right to promote your job. You’re doing a great job and a very important job I might add. Keep up the great work your mantra should be. “ my job is a very important one. I must help inform more people of what’s going on in this world.”
💕💕👍🏽👍🏽
This is a great story to cover. The learn so much from these videos
I worked in Finance in the Air Force. I did cashiering for about 18 months, including in the middle east. You can't account for so much as $2 in your drawer, your spending the entire night looking through spreadsheets, every crevice, making sure no dollars are stuck together just to find those $2. Now imagine if I just lost half my drawer, which could have up to $2K in it, I'm getting sent home or even worse kicked out. But, you learn very fast, just like the justice system here in America, there is a similar system for lower ranking members & higher ranking members. Lower ranking members always get the harshest punishments.
Sally, the mid-level manager who thinks HER JOB is really, really important.
I used to have this problem.....fast talking.....anyone and I mean anyone who fast talks has HUGE insecurities that they are trying to cover up by "appearing smart" with their fast talk. 100% this woman is in a position she has not earned. Look at people like Ben Shapiro, who try to talk fast as if it is wit. Slow your role, any good thought is a slow thought.
Well we can’t account for over half of the 1 trillion dollars in tax money afforded to us every year but let’s talk about the 5% raise and what little we are doing for food insecurity as at least I have a talking point ready for those things, not so much in the corruption and abuse of power though.
What are you talking about? Who cares? Obviously the Dems fixed all this under Obama. Trump did all this and Biden and Kamala already fixed it.
The problem with asking these people to explain anything is that they are purposely keeping it overtly complicated so we think we can’t understand it and don’t ask the important questions John is asking here.
Agreed. There are probably valid explanations for at least some of these accounting issues but she doesn’t want to get into specifics because it might reflect negatively on the bureaucracy she is entrenched in.
I don't know know it works in the USA but I worked for a Government department for 38 years and we had to account for every penny spent and were audited every year as well. In fact until that audit was completed the Government couldn't pass a budget for the next fiscal year. I mean we did give grants to groups and business but they had to spell out how that grant money would be spent in order to receive the funding. There was a small part of the budget that allowed for discretionary spending but that had a set of guidelines that had to be followed. What is happening in the defense department in the USA would never fly in our part of the world and if it did heads would roll.
The level of dismissiveness.... so glad she got what she deserved ih this interview. Unfortunately, unless we have someone with the same thinking as Jon Stewart in office and make his way of thinking the obvious position, nothing will change. Take money out of politics
Dude. When I saw this, in my head, I heard the mortal kombat announcer say, "Finish Him!!". 😂😂
" Rest in peace this woman"..
Woman unaware she is being buried.Falls back on her snark attack.
🤣 "Rest in peace THIS WOMAN!" 🤣 He's doesn't even qualify her with a name!!! 🤣 Kyle is the best.
Why do they agree to be interviewed by him when they know he does such a good job at exposing people?
Because they know it's just obfuscation. They know they're protected, but you get your little "got 'em" moment, say dumb shit like "Jon Stewart for president", feel like you're righteous and then you'll listen when the same dude tells you to vote for the same people who brought you this corruption in the first place. It's a win win.
Their humans. They like to get fucked
His polite society demeanor and the fact that he's rich makes them think he won't speak up for the poors.
It’s too bad Jon has no political aspirations.
He’d make a good leader.
This is the problem, all the people who would make the best politicians don’t want to be politicians.
8:30 it actually literally just means spending intentionally massive amounts of money in order to jumpstart the entire economy.
She's literally just nuance trolling. This bitch is arguing "although there is an obvious correlation between waste/fraud and failed DOD audits, audit failures are not necessarily caused by corruption. It could be other things, you just don't know for sure."
Utter horseshit because nothing else would logically account for this much lost money.
Was that woman drunk??? If she were, that'd the only excuse she'd have for her attitude.
I find it astounding we ask them to lay down their lives for us but fuck feeding their kids. Shameful
I like you guys. I have to admit that I didn't listen to you initially because of your name.

@@NewNormalWorldOrder Aww, leave 'em be. He feels good and righteous. And that's all that matters. The Dems will sort this all out just like they did under Obama.
This is lady is literally my mom AMA
Ouf bruh 😢
Autistic mom? Welcome to the club
She’s not autistic lol she’s just not a politician, she’s a bureaucrat
Money waste/potential fraud should not be viewed differently based on whether you are left and right!
WOW, get another mick stand dude, that one looks like a crane with a bbc on the end and you are trying to nosh it! Lol!
Stewart just gentlemanly cooked her face on a hot grill lol damn.
Jon Stewart should be Marianne's VP. Not even kidding!
i mean, bish's only point (an audit being MORE limited in scope than what she assumed jon was thinking) only serves to highlight and reinforce how bad the problem is; an audit is not even asking you to account for anything beyond what the money was spent on, and bish can't even satisfy that
Ohhh man did he give it to her good after her condescending little temper tantrum
When I was in the Army I had to worry about rent every month but the pentagon lost half of their money which is billions and that's cool.
Good thing the Dems cleared all that up and ended the corruption.
That’s what you get for a terrible life choice
This reminds me of when Donald Rumsfield gave a speech on 9/10/2001 and explained that the Pentagon had lost $10 billion and they had no idea where it went. If she doesn’t consider this to be wasteful, then she’s out of her goddamn mind.
This is a corporate dem channel and pointing out hypocrisy or just history in general is, like, whataboutism.............so, like, please don't do that.
What's with the gay reference from Kyle? 😂
Kyle thank you for continuously educating people about what happened in Iraq
she mistook him for establishment humper colbert.

We are GAY 🫶
Starting off with some kyle out of context i see
I see Kyle has been catching up on cumtown
Her lack of dead seriousness is astonishing.
God damn, her voice is grating...
This man should be president
This lady is participating in a completely different type of conversation - in both tone and content - than the conversation that’s actually taking place.
...did anyone else notice Kyle casually came out of the closet, haha? :D
3:27 prob my fav Kyle face ever
They need to fire that lady.
Who are “they” who need to fire her? 🙄
Why do they keep showing up?
SHES IN ON IT
Honestly John Stewart should run for President.
Jon Stewart should run. He'll garner a lot of support
He really should run for president...
If you wanted to detect fraud within an organisation, completing an audit would be step #1… and then there probably wouldn’t be a second step
Jon Stewart 2024!!!
That snap was clean as fuck lmao
Right left right combo 💀
Coldest intro of 2023
