"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 RUclips. 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 RUclips, 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.

Love Mehdi and miss him on MSNBC. Unfortunately, I knew his days were numbered there because he does not hold back. Mad respect for him!
Dear Mr Dacre
My name is Mehdi Hasan and I’m the New Statesman’s senior political editor. My good friend Peter Oborne suggested I drop you a line as I’m very keen to write for the Daily Mail.
Although I am on the left of the political spectrum, and disagree with the Mail’s editorial line on a range of issues, I have always admired the paper’s passion, rigour, boldness and, of course, news values. I believe the Mail has a vitally important role to play in the national debate, and I admire your relentless focus on the need for integrity and morality in public life, and your outspoken defence of faith, and Christian culture, in the face of attacks from militant atheists and secularists. I also believe - as does Peter - that I could be a fresh and passionate, not to mention polemical and contrarian, voice on the comment and feature pages of your award-winning newspaper.
For the record, I am not a Labour tribalist and am often ultra-critical of the left - especially on social and moral issues, where my fellow leftists and liberals have lost touch with their own traditions and with the great British public. In my column in this week’s issue of the New Statesman, for example, I offered a critique of the five Labour leadership candidates, and their various inadequacies, accusing them all of lacking what George Bush Snr once called “the vision thing”.
I could therefore write pieces for the Mail critical of Labour and the left, from “inside” Labour and the left (as the senior political editor at the New Statesman).
I am also attracted by the Mail’s social conservatism on issues like marriage, the family, abortion and teenage pregnancies. I’d like to write a piece for the Mailmaking the left-wing case against abortion, or a piece on why marriage should be a Labour value, and not just a Conservative one. My own unabashed social conservatism on such issues derives from my Islamic faith. But as a British Muslim, I have also upset some of my more hardline co-religionists in the past by arguing, in print, for a change in Islam’s draconian apostasy laws to allow Muslims to convert to other faiths (like Christianity). Here is a New Statesman column I wrote on the subject in April.
In addition, I wrote a column last year condemning suicide bombings, from an Islamic and moral perspective, in which I also castigated Muslims for failing to unequivocally condemn such acts of terror wherever in the world they occur.
And, earlier this year, I wrote a piece for the Guardian belittling Muslim extremist Anjum Choudary and his crude, headline-grabbing attempt to carry “coffins” through Wootton Bassett.
A bit of background: I am 31, and was born and brought up in the United Kingdom, the son of Indian immigrants (an engineer and a doctor) who came here in the 1960s. I am an Oxfordgraduate. Prior to joining the New Statesman in June 2009, I spent a decade working in television as a news-and-current-affairs producer at ITN, the BBC, Sky News and Channel 4.

Mehdi is now writing for the Guardian. I help to support the Guardian because of this reason. I’m so pleased that the Guardian swooped up this very gifted man.
Thanks for sharing! ✌ ❤

He would be a good writer for the Atlantic too. I’m hoping they will reach out to him.
The Atlantic is an ultra-Zionist outlet. Quite unlike the Guardian.@@lim4275

The atlantic is a CIA mouthpiece.
America, needs to understand different points of views from around to world instead of listening to biases in the media. Thanks to Mehdi Hasan and other media outlets who offers another perspective to mainstream media.
When Mehdi went after (justifiably) Taibbi, Krystals Breaking Points attacked Mehdi. Krystal has a single perspective that no one can challenge.
Out their what? Or, do you mean there?!?
Antisemitic lies and propaganda, even when gussied up at "anti-Zionism" aren't "another perspective." They're just baldfaced, vicious lies.

Many hard liners on both sides refuse to accept a future where the other side even exists… they seek extermination.
We can’t change the past, but the future is unwritten. We should question where we put our vital energy… are we focused on righting the wrongs our ancestors suffered in the past, or are we dedicated to making the world a better place for us and our children?

Yup, 'sho you're right. Mehdi had 'em SHOOK.👊🏽👊🏽
I take it matt taibbi is ;establishment'. He tore Matt a new one over Matt's lies about the twitter files. And Krystal's Breaking Points ran to Taibbi defense.
He wasn't really a threat, but he was a pain for them because he occasionally has the guts to say the obvious.
Mehdi's bosses was the Monarchy of Qatar. You know those radical Islamic Billionaire who are literally MONARCHS! He's not anti establishment nor anti Billionaire. He's simply for the Muslim Monarchs of OPEC.
Straight shooter, great journalist, fearless in his interviews. Far better than most talking heads.

Most American interviewers of politicians show them far too much respect. On the other hand look at George Galloway in the UK deal with an obviously biased reporter after the Rochdale by-election. It’s a classic!

@@perfect_chaos4217 It would be helpful if you could make sense.
Mehdi, such a class act! You handled it all in perfect style. You didn’t speak for anyone. You had graduated, and didn’t burn any bridges. Good luck with your new ventures. I am looking forward to fallowing you for years to come. Can’t say the same for corporate media.
Based on his answers he's obviously under NDA - notice how many times he mentions "all I can say," "I'm bound in what I can say," etc
And he’s definitely giving a lot of “politician answers” as well, where he gives statements which don’t directly answer questions, and instead are semi-related statements which you can put together yourself, as though he’s not allowed to be direct.
Possibly just doesn't want retaliation from adjacent media people or to hurt his friends' jobs that are still there. I doubt there's an official NDA unless he was given a contingent severance package.
dude lost his job for criticizing Israel give the guy a break, Jesus. So what if he has an NDA its his business and his public record is strong.
@@ChetHanks-eh1mdIf you've followed the media situation in the last, I dunno, 50 years or so, just the fact he had a job working at MSM makes him suspect. They don't let just anyone work there, you pretty much already have to hold views that are deemed acceptable by the establishment. For someone who worked for MSM, he was very critical of the establishment, and also very effective at that criticism, which is what got him fired in the end. But in the end, that allowed window of opinion at MSM is so narrow, that objectively speaking he's not a guy I would believe a single word.
And yet this video was titled “Medhi Hassan SPILLS THE TEA….” So much tea was spilled 😂😂
I stg Kyle be sensationalizing and exaggerating so much with these clickbait titles.
One of the worst examples of this in my opinion was the recent trump video trump video which was titled “Trump says black people like him because of his criminality”. I’m no trump defender but he didn’t say that.
Holy cow, you actually managed to get Mehdi on, this was big bro
That’s because he’s starting a company of independent ppl like just like how Daily Wire does it. It’s where the money is. He’s using a subscription model. That’s why he’s here because Breaking Points/Secular Talk ppl are the kind of ppl who would subscribe to Mehdi.
@@jillfeatherman5523Still, whether Mehdi is going independent now or not, I really think it was a big accomplishment, don't you?
I really think it represents a milestone for them when you think about the sheer number of people that they've had on their show now, this isn't some small fry guy running a Twitch channel, when you get a mainstream name like this, you do wonder who else they may be able to get on this show eventually when people want to gain reach from KKF audience.
I'm interested in seeing who they might have the pull to get next ...
He's ex The Intercept like Glen Greenwald, it's the normal circle of peers they have on. Blumenthal from The Grey Zone etc, it's no different to that. Just because Mehdi went mainstream doesn't mean he was any better
@@michelleryan1861It seems to me that you don't like the guests that they seem to have on.
Why do you watch their show exactly?
Let me explain Mehdi.
You can't take Mark Regev to the wood shed and stay on air.
Good for you and humanity actually. He deserved it.
Best wishes for the future.
He stripped Regev buck naked... that was such a pleasure to witness.
Mark regev what a turd basket.
Excellent show Kyle and Krystal
He was my favorite host and one of the few I trusted.

get a life!🤌@@happyguilmore4253
Can you recommend others? thanks
Was waiting for this on your show,
Thanks
He was the only person I wanted on MSNBC. Now I watch it as often as I watch Fox News and watch paint dry. When he came onto MSNBC I started watching but that was short lived.
Same, he was the only reason why I watched any MSNBC
He was there for several years.
Paint drying sounds like a Great watch comparatively to the rest of them.😂😅
I watch the occasional Joy Reed, Chris Hayes and Nicole Wallace, Joy talks about Gaza of and on, haven't heard much on Chris Hayes' show and haven't gone back to Nicole Wallace since her mat leave although she used to do a good job of covering the Russian war against Ukraine. The only one who always delivered every show was Mehdi and I now subscribe to his site.
Same, done with mainstream media.
Thanks for you all three. Truth will prevail always with you all.
Loved his show.. Missing his show.
Krystal you are doing an amazing job. Clarity of your thinking and expression of your thoughts is amazing. Heartwarming to know that some North Americans can still be neutral and not tow the voice of dominant destructive forces.
👍
I've been waiting for this. Thanks!
Thanks for bringing him on. While I don’t agree with him on many issues, being able to question and speak freely is such a rare quality nowadays.
Okay. I'm asking. MSNBC, why did you cancel the show? Which caused me to question your integrity, and, in spite of being a 71 year old White Boomer, start watching A LOT more of the smaller independents. So, why? (Insert corporate word salad here __________________).
Even liberal jews are for the genocide and covering up for Israel. ADL sure seems real quiet these days
Be warned the same promoters of mainstream media are now promoting indirectly many of the alternative media . Eg talkTV, Piers Morgan, Valuetainment/PBD
Because AIPAC. Because American military-industrial complex.
Because he said holocausts were bad
Yes, I wrote a heartfelt strongly worded email to MSNBC when they announced his ‘diminished’ role, and I am also a white boomer in my 70’s. I wanted someone to see that Mehdi Hasan WAS speaking to their core audience…we can see how much they cared about that! I will try to save my pennies to afford a subscription to the Guardian. I miss him.
I will not watch mainstream media again.

I like Medhi who is a fair, balanced and intelligent journalist. It is unfortunate he was silenced and forced out because of the Israelis treacherous and traitorous lobbyist in the US.
Excellent love MH and yall
Much love from Michigan.
Hopefully, you voted *uncommitted*
Amazed that Medhi didn’t ask MSNBC why. Come on!
What confused me is neither tucker Carlson, nor mehdi Hasan ever specifically criticised fox news or MSNBC even after getting fired
@@ExcitedGamingHeadset-pc2qmthey’re probably under an nda. Most corporations do that.
Mehdi is such a class act, love the guy and hope he gets an even bigger platform that he obviously deserves
If NBC replaced Tim Russert after he passed with Mehdi, Meet the Press would still be mandatory watching instead of the pathetic joke it is now. I just signed up to Mehdi's new venture Zeteo Media, looking forward to seeing him uncensored, we need to save journalism now before the IDF kills them all, so spread the word.
I really miss Tim, Mehdi would have been the perfect replacement.
Where can we watch zeteo?
'Meet the Press' wouldn't be the "Dumpster Fire" it is today if Tim took better care of himself.
Mehdi-I miss you deeply on MSMBC, BUT, continue to follow you wherever I can find you!! Your voice & POV are vital.
Love Medhi and miss hearing from him.
The thing is that he has a great background and much experience and can go anywhere.
AND HE WILL.
One of the FEW places we could find a real story was in our local papers and those are going under and being folded into the corporate structure. VERY dangerous. There are good sources out there but you have to look for them AND when I find a new source , I research them as best I can. I want to know who owns them and what their agenda is.
Will miss your excellent coverage Mehde
Love Medi!
"When to draw the line and say is it worth it" Yep!
Nicely done bringing Mehdi to your show. Great job 👏
I came to know you through MSNBC. I came to believe your thing then was as good and
honorable a thing as it is now. Thank you.
Damn!!!
Great interview!!!!
Clickbait - nothing revealed, signed NDA
Mehdi respects the intelligence of those who follow him, he knows we can read between the lines.
SPILLS THE TEA = “I’m limited as to what I can talk about”
Such a good interview!!!!!
"The ADL dude." So professional.
Damn I’m happy you had him on 🙏
The fact that he didn’t need to censor himself tells you all you need to know. That’s the whole point. You wouldn’t be there if you weren’t within the acceptable boundaries
AIPAC is to U.S. Mid-East policy what the NRA is to gun policy. Thanks for great fair and insightful coverage.
I agree. I loved your show
Thank you for this
Great content! Side note: That pink suit is ON POINT!❤
Great interview! For pretty much all of my adult life, this American has rolled his eyes, sometimes out loud, when hearing the words "Land of the Free" and "Freedom of Speech". By the way, I still do. Thank you Krystal and Kyle for doing what you do and the way you do it. Love you both. That goes for Mehdi too. ❤
Thanks!
Awesome and truthful.
Great guest and show!
4:15 It absolutely impacted him because he's no longer at MSNBC.
The world needs more people like this.
We miss you MH. Looking forward to your show in Dallas
Great interview with Medhi!!
Echo chamber. These three patting each other on the back. We are so good, so objective so brave.
MSNBC made huge mistake letting this interesting, honest, well-informed, well-spoken newsman go. Never let anyone run over him. I miss him.
The women in pink is really unprofessional.
Miss you Medhi. And I'm South African. Well done on the work you doing it. Please keep doing it on another platform
no tea was spilled
This is the biggest interview Krystal and Kyle have had on their show
MH interviewed ( DeVos’ brother) when he was still the head of Blackrock “ security “ an excellent view.
The man! Go on guys can’t wait to watch this.
Absolutely insane numbers for a Kyle video. Congratulations Kyle. I've been here for many many years and your growth excites me to the core!
I was looking forward to this
We need people like you three. We need you more then ever.Bless you all for yor good work.❤
Thanks. I miss him and was very disappointed he left.
Good on you, you left with the respect of your listeners
Alternate title: Mehdi Hasan gets interviewed by Ken and Barbie.
Sorry I couldn't help myself. 😁
Oh! I didn't realize he was gone. Too bad. As an Irish-American Jew, I always found Mehdi Hasan to be a rational reporter on Middle-Eastern issues. Unlike Al Jazeera, he never seemed to have an agenda.
Refresh listening to genuine and honest analysis of the facts of topics in questions
He challenged his guests strongly and that is unacceptable on cable news.
I’m going to miss Mehdi! I’m so sorry to hear this….
That was very interesting from what I saw
I know it wasn’t just him, he had a team behind him as well literally helping him out and talking in his ear. But the way he performed during an interview, the way he could push back and correct the facts and ask the questions AND FOLLOW-UPS, that really got to the hear and truth of an issue is just… it is so RARE to be THAT good at it!! He always sounded respectful, calm (wouldn’t get hysterical with the guests) and NEEDS to be in prime time!!!
One of the best interviewers ever !!
Mehdi is a treasure. Cenk is fine, but please don’t compare him to Mehdi.
That lady also worked at MSNBC? I thought these were some mom and pop couple runnings YT channel from home. I didn’t realize they were professional journalists, although it makes sense given the quality of content.
Thanks
Mehdi!
It's good to see you again!
I really liked your show and I love you as a person!
I will definitely keep track of what you are doing because I want to hear what you have to say!
Mehdi spills absolutely no tea in this clip
Yeah, when Maddow left, I wished Medhi would get that spot. He's a stand out talent I hoped they would focus on, but they aren't really left-wing, especially not progressive,
Dear Mr Dacre
My name is Mehdi Hasan and I’m the New Statesman’s senior political editor. My good friend Peter Oborne suggested I drop you a line as I’m very keen to write for the Daily Mail.
Although I am on the left of the political spectrum, and disagree with the Mail’s editorial line on a range of issues, I have always admired the paper’s passion, rigour, boldness and, of course, news values. I believe the Mail has a vitally important role to play in the national debate, and I admire your relentless focus on the need for integrity and morality in public life, and your outspoken defence of faith, and Christian culture, in the face of attacks from militant atheists and secularists. I also believe - as does Peter - that I could be a fresh and passionate, not to mention polemical and contrarian, voice on the comment and feature pages of your award-winning newspaper.
For the record, I am not a Labour tribalist and am often ultra-critical of the left - especially on social and moral issues, where my fellow leftists and liberals have lost touch with their own traditions and with the great British public. In my column in this week’s issue of the New Statesman, for example, I offered a critique of the five Labour leadership candidates, and their various inadequacies, accusing them all of lacking what George Bush Snr once called “the vision thing”.
I could therefore write pieces for the Mail critical of Labour and the left, from “inside” Labour and the left (as the senior political editor at the New Statesman).
I am also attracted by the Mail’s social conservatism on issues like marriage, the family, abortion and teenage pregnancies. I’d like to write a piece for the Mailmaking the left-wing case against abortion, or a piece on why marriage should be a Labour value, and not just a Conservative one. My own unabashed social conservatism on such issues derives from my Islamic faith. But as a British Muslim, I have also upset some of my more hardline co-religionists in the past by arguing, in print, for a change in Islam’s draconian apostasy laws to allow Muslims to convert to other faiths (like Christianity). Here is a New Statesman column I wrote on the subject in April.
In addition, I wrote a column last year condemning suicide bombings, from an Islamic and moral perspective, in which I also castigated Muslims for failing to unequivocally condemn such acts of terror wherever in the world they occur.
And, earlier this year, I wrote a piece for the Guardian belittling Muslim extremist Anjum Choudary and his crude, headline-grabbing attempt to carry “coffins” through Wootton Bassett.
A bit of background: I am 31, and was born and brought up in the United Kingdom, the son of Indian immigrants (an engineer and a doctor) who came here in the 1960s. I am an Oxfordgraduate. Prior to joining the New Statesman in June 2009, I spent a decade working in television as a news-and-current-affairs producer at ITN, the BBC, Sky News and Channel 4.
🙈🙉🙊As of June 2024 on MSNBC I'm still watching him on the show📺?? 💁♀️Change their mind 👀??
Anyone else distracted by Krystal’s electric pink Barbie suit?
Anything that might show the truth about Israel is not allowed on most networks
1:38 Velshi is also the only one that "can" understand how universal healthcare works - and he did not get fired. Apart from him it is a requirement to be too dumb to understand it if you want to work for big media. Veshi seems to get a pass - he cannot help himself he grew up in Canada. (I followed the Sanders campaign and this was the only interview with intelligent questions about the issue of universal healthcare).
