Chris Salcedo

• Host of The Chris Salcedo Show, now broadcasting nationally on Torch Radio, Glenn Beck’s new digital radio network, weekday mornings from 6-9 AM — amplifying liberty-first values to audiences across the country.
• Author of Liberty Rises, warning against government overreach and cultural complacency.
• Leader in the Latino conservative movement, challenging media narratives as Executive Director of the Conservative Hispanic Society.
• Author of The Rise of The Liberty-Loving Latino, released December 2025 and available now on Amazon.

Chris Salcedo says he is America’s foremost “Liberty Loving Latino,” and when you tune into his show or catch his live keynote presentation, you see why.

The driving philosophy behind Salcedo’s success is a line attributed to a character in his book, Liberty Rises: a society’s worth isn’t measured by how much power its government seizes, but by how much power remains with its people. Liberty Rises tells the story of an America that failed to heed a crucial lesson passed down by the 40th president, Ronald Reagan — that freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. Chris Salcedo opens a window into America’s future, and what happens if the country doesn’t quickly change course.

Chris Salcedo is a veteran television and radio broadcaster, author, and political analyst. After nine years hosting The Chris Salcedo Show on Newsmax, Chris now brings his show to Torch Radio, Glenn Beck’s new national digital audio network, where he continues his mission to counter the media-driven, false narrative that all Latinos think alike and hold the same left-wing values. Chris says that when it comes to the values of the Latino community, this narrative could not be further from the truth. His keynote presentations consistently highlight the broad diversity of thought within the Latino community — one that parallels American society as a whole. He furthers that mission as the Executive Director of the Conservative Hispanic Society, among other projects.

Speech Topics

Illegal immigration

Chris says that illegal immigration is not just wrong, it’s immoral and it’s bad for any nation forced to endure it by its political class, who walk away largely unaffected by the ramifications of their policies. In this talk, Chris discusses the problems with open borders, the negative effect it has on wages, and other social costs (i.e. crime, health care costs and etc) that it imposes on the people – not to mention the message it sends to people who try to immigrate to the USA legally. (Ask us about the debate format with another speaker and Chris, where they go back and forth on HOW to fix the illegal immigration crisis.)

Limited Constitutional Government

Another “Salcedo Axiom”:  It’s best not to give government more power, lest it be abused. In this powerful talk, Chris takes on topics like government involvement in education, (he says, the worst mistake our people ever made, was allowing government to educate our kids), the never ending expanding size of government bureaucracy, taxation, wasteful spending, and so much more. Chris can customize this keynote presentation to suit your audience.
