"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 UA-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 UA-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.

Love when they randomly lose trillions of dollars but then have the nerve to ask me for taxes
Taxes don't pay for expenditures. Taxes are only there to create demand for dollars. I get your point but it is high time people actually understand how federal budgeting works.
The nerve? Lol what nerve
@@thezfunk ...He says, clarifying nothing about how federal budgeting works.
@@thezfunk Nah, it's not about "understanding how it works" - it's about realizing that it DOESN'T WORK. Our tax funds are supposed to be contributing towards our infrastructure & benefits/improvement of the communities we live in and they clearly haven't been paying for any of that. It's BS and every politician should be behind bars for eternity at this point.
Every veterans charity is a national disgrace, because the Pentagon could have used a microscopic part of its giant pile of money to solve the problem
The saddest part about all of this is that we see them robbing us and we're helpless.
Try being an AUSTRALIAN.
We've signed up to this SHlT with submarines and jet fighters and all sorts of stuff.
A few months ago it turned out we hired a bunch of ex-ES Navy admirals to "consult."
They are being paid between AU$1.2 and AU$2 million a year, and some of them have been here for over 10 years.
SO FAR
- Nobody has explained why we, the people of Australia are paying several billion dollars to fix one of your shipyards.
- Nobody has explained how we are going to crew these submarines which require more than double the number of people than our current submarines.
- Nobody has explained the costs which are a staggering AU$268 Billion.
For each sub there's over $20 Billion unaccounted for and that's on the lower estimate.
On the upper estimate its over AU$35 Billion.
We’re not helpless, we’re the shareholders, the problem is that we’ve somehow been convinced that the issue is: gay rights, states rights, abortion, blm, blue lives, the government deficit, etc, etc, etc. If we the people ever actually aligned and agreed on something you’d be surprised how easily we could implement broad sweeping changes. At some point during the Regan administration they learned that culture wars mattered more than social programs or politician voting records
Bullshit we're helpless. We have the power but it's mindsets like yours that makes us do nothing.
"Helpless "....speak for yourself....🌝
@@tc2241 Nicely summed up.
Once again, the ruling class not even remotely caring how corrupt they come off as. I'm so mad that dystopia looks so visually dull and has nothing beyond a few fancy gadgets for us to play with.
All the dystopian horrors of cyberpunk with none of the cool shit.
@@thegethconsensus393The cool shit only comes out after NWO is established. By then the world be super duper terrible…
Why do I have to go to jail if I fail an IRS audit but if the government fails an Audit, it’s just another day and nothing happens?
I don't think you go straight to join for failing an audit. You figure things out and then pay the difference plus any fines/penalties. I guess if you refuse to pay at that point or they prove willful tax avoidance, then you probably go to jail.
Because they have guys with guns.
@@bluehero-96bc they have more guns than IRS
This should be such a huge news story. It's absolutely mind-boggling
Wonder how much the group of guys with the nazi flags cost em
"The Pentagon still doesn't know where all those WW2 era rifle rounds are."
The story is much less interesting when you actually know what's happening. It's not an expenditure audit, it's a property audit, and as it turns out the largest land owner in the world that has more than 200 years of property on the books, much of which was literally build in secret, some of which like Area 51 is still heavily secret today, they have a hard time accounting for their entire net worth.
Oh, and the overwhelming majority of their net worth is locked up in things that aren't available on any market, so good luck appraising any of it accurately anyway.
The single largest correction from the last audit to this recent one was that literal pre-WW1 artillery shells were still listed in their assets, but the gunpowder in those shells would have decomposed long ago, and at some point in the past someone signed off on disposing of it all, so they were listed in assets but the military couldn't find them. They have now been crossed off of the military's assets, and so are that much closer to being able to account for all of their claimed assets.
Wow, so shocking, such controversy.
@@ASDeckard Sounds like another BS excuse to keep cooking the books and leave us docile rather than infuriated as we should be. None of that sounds reasonable as to why six audits are failed and over a trillion dollars is unaccounted for.
It's so outrageous Nothing in government should move forward until we get to the bottom of it!!
No more military spending. Let's put this to vote on the ballot .
Vote for who exactly? Every name on the ballot is paid by lobbies lol. Americans keep thinking voting makes a difference and year after year nothing happens they still believe the same shit, you people are special kind of dumb
Six audits in a row. This is actually kind of impressive. Any business that did that in the real world would crash and burn but these guys can do whatever they want with it. They must throw wonderful coke parties
Look up the Fat Leonard scandal
McDonald's has not once passed an audit, in its entire history as a company.
@@ASDeckard oh…what i meant to say was “small business”…not giant corporations that have the lawyers to deflect any criticism
Don't forget all the homeless veterans, as well as those who have to live with extreme physical and/or mental problems as a direct result of their "service" that simply get tossed aside once the government is done using them up.
It is utterly unconscionable.
For the Industrial Military Complex, it's not a bug, it's a feature.
Military Welfare State
As long as this country keeps voting for big money politicians in failure, the latter has no reason not to fail.
The problem is your binary voting system - corporate Dems and Reps just keep handing the baton off to each other, and both sides make sure no idealist like Bernie ever gets a nomination. You need proportional representation, so that more parties can get into the mix.
Both of your parties are funded by the same companies and their agendas are therefore indistinguishable from one another.
The only difference between the parties are their voter demographies. This is why they keep escalating the culture wars.
@lenkacfk7155 is right you need a unicameral parliament with proportional representation.
The biggest problem with that is that the people with the power to change the system are the politicians, none of whom has any reasons to change the system that is working so well for them.
The oligarchs running your country are addicted to economical growth which depends on a combination of rising consumption per capita and a rise in population. Americans are already consuming so much that nobody is expecting consumption per capita to significantly increase.
So population growth is what they need. If you want to change the system you need to hurt it and the only way you can do that is by leaving.
However the U.S. is one of 2 countries that demand their citizens pay income tax to them even when living and working in another country, so you'd have to also change your citizenship in order for this to have any effect.
Tell me a way to vote otherwise when every single name on the ballot is being paid by lobbies.
@@williamhansen9456 Here's a crazy way to protest: make yourself stateless.
@@JamesDavy2009 Do you think people who migrate to USA and become U.S. citizens are stateless?
Why even do the audits, if nothing will ever come from them? For all the money they’re short, that should come out of their budget next year. The corruption in this country is sickening!
Of course they say we can't afford anything that Benefits the common people .
Yet they can't find billions , trillions of dollars .
Yet they can help Ukraine , Israel , and even Taiwan now .
Ridiculous .
The money to Ukraine are LOANS. America doesn't do charity
But “how are you gonna pay for it?”
😉😁
@@nas84payne Ukrainian mineral wealth is valued ar $12.5 trillion dollars alone. Agricultural is a massive money maker. Ukraine is the bread basket of Europe banking, insurance and property makes it a very rich country.
@@thomasreilly6362But they needed money somehow? Wtf…
@@flaminak7894 Ukraine is a very fertile country with rich deposits of minerals. It started the negotiations to join the EU. It will be a long process but they are heading in the right direction
If this was a bank, someone would be in jail. How is embezzlement and fraud not a major concern, especially concerning national defense?
Pentagon budget should be only for the amount that can be accounted for, to prevent loss. If they don't know where it is, they're not using it.
Or they did use it and really do know where it went ... but don't want us to find out
They except us to juggle work lesure kids on a very insufficient budget for most ppl in usa
You are among a handful of trusted progressive voices left in left media... Thank you!
If I was running a cash register, and came up $50 short on the count, I'd be fired, and possibly arrested. The pentagon loses billions, near 2/3rds their entire budget, and they get a massive pay raise
They aren't auditing the budget, they are auditing their assets. Some of those assets date back to pre-WW1 times, and most are spread out over 81 countries. Almost none of those assets are available on markets, meaning valuing them is going to be extremely difficult regardless.
They need to be accountable for this.
It’s never gonna happen
Definitely
Then arm yourselves. You have to make it happen. The corrupt aren't going to hand over power willingly.
I worked for a government contractor in the aerospace industry for 10 years. If we had flunked an audit, we would have been debarred. There wasn't a snowball's chance in hell that we would have just gone on like it was all OK. "Debarred" status assigned to an entity means that the entity can't do business with the government, or any other government contractor. The length of time this status is imposed varies. It can even be indefinite. To have this happen is pretty much a kiss of death for that entity.
Easy fix. no increase in military spending while audit fails and a yearly 2% cut until it does and the cuts goes into a house fund for homeless people.
61% of 3.5 trillion is 2.135 trillion, not 1.5 trillion.
Also I'm kinda skeptical that it's only the 6th audit they fail in a row.
I've always been told by so many journalists that the pentagon has *NEVER* been able to tell how they spent government funds.
I don’t believe it’s 6. It’s a lot more than that in my opinion.
they didn't lose it they gave it to their friends and stole the rest
Man if any of us failed 6 IRS audits in a row what do you think would happen
So...
At the same time the war budget is nearing ONE TRILLION a year
but they can't account for the money they have.
I say say cut the war budget until they can survive an audit on the money they already have.
I mean INDEPENDENT audit.
Imperial decline, spot on Kyle look at the Roman Empire right before it fell, and see how their military was behaving. This happens in most empires right before the fall
'Hey pentagon, if you fail the next audit, we slash the budget.'
How ya gonna pay fuh it?? Dying bird bit got me🤣
$1.52 Trillion distributed among its 6 sub-components. The Defense Department remains the only federal agency in the country that has failed to ever pass an independent audit ( a requirement under federal law for all government agencies since the early 1990s.)
Always remember, that however corrupt some other country may be, whatever amount was stolen there is just a rounding error at the pentagon
We should audit the FED too
Give them a 5% budget cut every year until they can pass the audit
Missing money ends back in the pockets of the politicians through the lobbyists.
Just a thought.
Excellent report. Keep them coming ❤
Lmao "howugapayfoeet?" Gets me everytime
Good journalism Kyle
Holes in the military budgets probably go to things like *PMCs*
excellent video
thank you kile
I laughed much to hart at Kyles shenanigans at the start. And indeed, where is the money?
0:28 😂🤣🤣
Hahaha 😅😅😅
Unacceptable!
Why do we keep funding this
When are we given the option not to?
It's a good backdrop for espionage films
@@skeletorpfunk6342you are completely free to not pay taxes. you don’t need the vaccine either…
because if you don't you will be kidnapped and thrown into a cage
@@Drowzyythere is no evidence to support that. US military budget is the same as the next 26 countries combined, most of which are allies.
Does this include the stuff they couldn't find from the last audit or is this all new stuff they lost? I'm just wondering if this is a problem that has snowballed over the years and takes years to fix or if it restarts every year.
They haven't been able to account for everything for decades.
Its a sad day when the best case scenario is a massive government off the books secret project type conspiracy...
Great work as you do 99.9% of the time Kyle. Love ya brother
Secular Talk: Come for the hot takes, stay for the dying bird impressions. 🤣👏
Thank you for your service thank you for your service
It is about time the budget can be not higher than what a department can account for.
Kyle's awesome!
Public opinion doesn't matter in an oligarchy. Only corporate approval matters.
We don't know where the money went. Give us more!
0:30 WTF 😂
doin good work kyle
how ga' pay frit...?...classic...!
They are not actually failing audits. The "missing" funds are used to fund black sites and classified R&D. It's disingenuous to pretend like they are just losing all that money. They know exactly where it went.
Yes, they know exactly where it went... directly to the military industrial complex
Yeah, you get it....Kyle is probably afraid to say that and be called a conspiracy theorist.
I would bet some of it has been laundered into people’s pockets too. Remember to $400 hammers? Likely very similar to huckabee-sanders lectern.
We know it’s not lost. The point is that that money is not accounted for.
Either this is true, or they are absolutely horrible at book-keeping and there would likely be plenty on their payroll taking advantage of it. If the former, I can sort of see why they feel they can't divulge certain things, and if the latter... then Kyle is right - some people should be in jail.
“our welfare is warfare” nice! did kyle come up with this or is this from somewhere? that is brilliant!
I am not sure if I am just too high, or if this is just too hilarious.
We also have to pay for the Alien coverups.
and the overalls.
Yet they still are here visiting us like yolo.
All the things they want to cut, pass their audits every year. I think we should cut the budget for the administrations that can't pass an audit.
The Pentagon does pass it's *budget* audit. This is an *assets* audit, and may of those assets pre-date WW1, and many more are spread across 81 nations and almost none of it is available on open markets, so good luck coming up with a good evaluation of anythings value in the first place.
0:31 😅😅
2:00 a shower of gold, if you will.
I don't think you could even audit a lawmaker's corruption suspected self enrichment now. Let alone that of pentagon.
The money went to reverse engineer alien craft!
How do I make the Pentagon selling furniture start paying tax pays back?
0:41 ok you made me giggle I’ll admit
0:31 sounds like a dying seal. 😅😅
It's actually 2.135 trillion unaccounted for.
If I failed that many audits, I’d probably be broke, bankrupt, homeless, or in jail. Yet the government has blank checks to the military and contractors. What a joke!
This is a no shit moment 😂
They sure took my pandemic medicaid right on time though
Why isn't this bigger news?!
They will continue to do whatever they like until someone enforces accountability.
I was in the USAF from 94-14, then federal work. Right now, I work in a double wide trailer, that was drop in place in the early 80s. Last two days the toilet was frozen. We move 50gl drums of oil and other heavy items all week. Last week they took our vehicle that has a lift gate. Basically by leadership, been told to figure it out. But the Pentagon had missing money and US has the largest military budget in the world.
If it was in my power I would basically go to the pentagon and tell if they don’t tell me where the money is going I am going to cut the budget by the amount they can’t explain.
i dont love how spot on your dead bird impression is Kyle
0:31 😅😅
Im surprised its only been six times in a row and not more
They fail audit, but wut this mean? Off by 5 dollars? I could not find answer, and therefore, cannot muster outrage.
What's the punishment? A bigger budget...
Pentagram lost money again😢
Aliens
Nobody I know brought this up since it last happened. This time, we need to talk
I wish I could say that I am surprised. The thing is that at the enlisted level, they want to track every bullet that goes down range. But when it comes to the division level, who knows what the money is spent on?
Well, Kyle, your dying bird sound confused both my cats.
Wheres the trillion dollars i gave you?? "I dunno". Well then, heres 80 billion more. (Consequences)
Endless military spending is another sign of a failing nation.
Another way to look at it is there is $513,620,000,000 every single year is currently not accounted for. Rounding down, that is half of a trillion dollars.
How are we gonna pay for enriching human lives when our goal is to cause as many problems as possible?!?!
Where can I find specific details on our military contracts? Every time I talk about this with my dad, I do t know the specifics and I sound like a crazy far-leftie. Does library of congress have copies posted?
Gotta love the Generals and Admirals hypocrisy too.
As a junior officer if I lose a single part that's too expensive, I'd have an investigation against me.
These guys can't account for half the money for 6 years in a row and its fine so long as they're improving.
Rules for thee not for me.
I don't really think the fact that the Pentagon has off the books projects is even news. 😅
Man I wish I can live my life like the government
Hell i despise the pentgon
Hey Kyle how do you know how dying Bird sounds?😂😅
Really should be biggest news
IDK has anyone checked in on on Halliburton lately? Raytheon perhaps?? Boeing maybe?
The military budget is ONE BIG SLUSH FUND FOR BILLIONAIRES.
Whenever i look at US politics i honestly just lose faith in humanity.
So many self serving assholes. Even the so called progressives are weak.
The way they treat the soldiers when they lose one piece of equipment is the way they should treat this
The crazies part is they "lose" millions.
The only rhing that will happen is that the budget will increase yet again.
Maybe they are preparing for something they dont want us to know, asteroid or aliens or something else
Again, another FAILED AUDIT by the PENTAGON. This is OUTRAGEOUS!
This is a CLASSIC🎯 KYLE, "how are you going to pay for it" segment. 🎯🎯🎯
Awesome👍🏼👍🏼 😂😆🤣
