Kyle Kulinski
Kyle Edward Kulinski (born January 31, 1988) is an American left-wing political commentator and media host. He is the host and producer of The Kyle Kulinski Show on his YouTube channel Secular Talk, co-host on Kyle & Corin on the YouTube channel Corin's WORLD, and co-host with his wife Krystal Ball on the progressive podcast Krystal Kyle & Friends. A self-described social democrat, Kulinski is a co-founder of Justice Democrats, a progressive political action committee founded on the principles that the candidates it endorses must refuse donations from corporate PACs.
Kulinski was born on January 31, 1988, to a family of Polish and Italian descent. He was born and raised in the New York City suburbs of Westchester County, New York. He graduated from New Rochelle High School in 2006 and Iona College in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in political science and a minor in psychology. His father, Albert Kulinski (1954–2011), owned a Chevrolet dealership in New Rochelle.
Kulinski credits his father's premature death (which he believes was due to inadequate healthcare), the 2003 invasion of Iraq in his teenage years, and the works of Noam Chomsky as influences that helped shape his political views.
Kulinski started a YouTube channel in spring 2008, named "Secular Talk", while studying as a political science student. Kulinski indicated from the beginning that the show leans heavily to the left. He presents the news with a "brash" and "in-your-face" tone along with jokes and profanity, in sharp contrast to the formal presentation style found in mainstream news outlets.
Disillusioned with U.S. president Barack Obama by the end of his first term, Kulinski began publishing videos full time and started broadcasting on BlogTalkRadio as The Kyle Kulinski Show. This surge in activity pushed his YouTube subscriber count above 100,000. By 2015, Kulinski was making a living from Secular Talk. Since then, his videos regularly get hundreds of thousands of views. On December 16, 2022, the channel crossed 1 billion views on YouTube. In September 2025 the show ranked as the 37th top rated podcast on YouTube in the United States.
In December 2016, after the 2016 United States presidential election, Kulinski—alongside Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, and Saikat Chakrabarti and Zack Exley of the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign—created Justice Democrats, a political action committee with the goal of supporting progressive candidates in primary elections against more moderate Democratic members of congress. Uygur and Kulinski resigned from the group in late 2017. Since leaving, Kulinski has expressed disapproval with the Justice Democrats' political strategy, and has criticized congresspeople aligned with the Justice Democrats for not withholding their votes from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in exchange for a House vote on Medicare for All.
On January 1, 2021, Kulinski and Krystal Ball started a podcast titled Krystal Kyle & Friends, where they are both co-hosts. Notable podcast guests have included Jordan Peterson, Russell Brand, Noam Chomsky, Thomas Frank, Glenn Greenwald, Carl Hart, Justin Jackson, Bernie Sanders, Matt Taibbi, Nina Turner, Cornel West, Marianne Williamson, Richard D. Wolff, Vaush, and Andrew Yang.[non-primary source needed]
Kulinski is cited as a progressive commentator. Kulinski has been noted by The Hill for his commentary regarding various presidential candidates, including Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
