Quotations:
“If you would just give up your ideas of freedom, then everybody would be happy. And it’s never worked out in human history because there’s always an elite few that ends up being happy and the masses end up being miserable.” ~ Chris Salcedo
Bio:
Chris Salcedo is a veteran television and radio broadcaster, author, political analyst and podcaster who is also a proud Latino Conservative. He is the Executive Director of the Conservative Hispanic Society.
Believe it or not, Chris began his career as a weather reporter for the local news station Fox 6 in San Diego, and when this weatherman did a hard-hitting story on Social Security, everyone knew he wouldn’t be in front of the weather maps for long!
Chris would go on to become a TV news anchor and reporter in Dallas / Fort Worth, the 5th largest TV market in the nation at CBS11/TXA 21. From there, Chris moved to Washington D.C. as an anchor for America’s Radio news Network.
Today you can hear Chris hosting his daily radio show on AM 700 KSEV in Houston, the sixth largest radio market in the country, and later in the day you can see Chris on his daily TV show across the country and beyond, on Newsmax TV from 4 – 5 pm / ET. And yes, Chris also produces The Salcedo Storm Podcast for your on-demand listening pleasure.
On any of these platforms, you will find Chris countering the media-driven, false narrative that the left would have you believing — that all Latinos think alike and have the same left-wing values. Chris promotes the fact that there is diversity of thought in the Latino community and emphasizes how the debate in the Latino community parallels overall American debate.
As Chris would say, “I am your Liberty Loving Latino. Do not confuse me with loudmouthed leftist Latinos; I actually love my country.”
Chris wants Americans to re-establish the proper relationship between government and citizen: A society’s worth isn’t measured by how much power is seized by its government but rather, how much power is reserved for its people.
Chris is a graduate of San Diego State University, and lives in the free state of Texas with his family.
