Hello, I'm you happy keep books?

Neil Smith and old Buck Buddy.

Are you hearing Neil, Neil?

I miss you man, Donnes I have a question.

We respect for me.

Down Missy breaking a major story, Chris, congratulations.

Listen to a single four podcast.

Both says, you know.

I do the television show, I do the radio show, I do the podcast for the audience.

Yes, I have a conservative point of view.

Yes I'd like to get it out there.

But the reason why I espouse what I espouse, the reason why I put myself out in public, The reason why I do these things is because I have a sense of duty I don't know, to get out to all of you the best information that I can so you can make informed decisions as Americans, and because I believe in what we espouse as conservatives, as constitutional conservatives.

So that's the long and short of way I do what I do here is for my countrymen, for the survivability of the United States, for the survivability of a free and prosperous people.

All that being said, that's why I'm hoping that you will indulge me taking this podcast.

Talk a little bit about me and a new book coming out called The rise of the liberty loving Latin know a new American revolution.

This book, it is, it's something I've wanted to write for a long time.

I have written another book book called Liberty Rises You sensing the theme that the liberty theme and also the rising theme.

And at any rate, the first book I wrote was an act of fiction, my two great loves, conservatism and science fiction melding into one.

And that's kind of an iron Rand meets Stargate meets Star Wars kind of adventure type novel.

And I wrote it very much like a script, a script to a movie, so that a lot of the descriptions I give give you a framework and allow your imagination to fill in the rest.

And that's kind of how I wrote it.

So that's the act of fiction.

The one that I wanted to do that wasn't fiction was based on a long held belief, which is this current book which is going to drop on December ninth.

This is a long held belief of mine that my experience as a conservative is not unique.

That if you talk about the issues and not the political parties, if you talk about the issues that are most important to Latinos, to Hispanics, you're going to find that the vast majority of them have very little in common with today's modern socialist Democrat party.

It just when you start getting into the real world application of government of their view, the left's view of government, the left's totalitarian views of government, and our view of government.

Not conservatives, but Latinos.

The reason why so many of our forefathers came here.

They came here for the opportunity to breathe free.

And they can recognize, in particular with our Kubano friends, they can recognize right away when somebody in on board with that agenda, that whole freedom agenda.

So I've been a long time believer that there is a fundamental underpinning in most of the Latino cultures, in the Hispanic cultures that come from various parts of the world and come here to the United States of America.

And I thought that would find expression sooner or later, And it happened now.

It happened in the twenty twenty four election with President Donald J.

Trump showing a contrast to the Latino community, saying, hey, I want you on board.

I think you're on board with me.

You know what life was like with me in the White House, and you know what life was like with Beijing, Biden in the White House.

I mean, just go ahead and do the math, kids, Just go ahead and do the comparative analysis.

And we Latinos did.

And there were so many other factors, I mean, the left going violent, the left going lawless, the left going full tilt anti science, Boso crazy, all of these factors that Latino said, wait a minute, I have.

I have nothing in common with these people.

I have nothing in common with democrats, socialists.

I don't know where these people's heads are at other than up their asses.

And aside from the whole, you know, men can have babies, that women can be men, men can be women, the attacks on the Catholic Church, the attacks on God.

Aside from all of that, you had the massive illegal immigration which was just destroying Latino communities, and the economic decisions that were being made.

It just made it harder and harder and harder to make ends meet for Latinos.

And we got it.

Thus the book that I wrote, finally, after ten years of gathering my thoughts, the data, the way to approach these these issues through the Chrisalsado shows on television and radio and developing these concepts, finally it all came together with the election of President Donald J.

Trump and a massive massive changeover from the Democrats Socialist Party to well, I can't say Republicans to the America First banner.

Latinos voted for Republicans because that was their only choice, but they weren't voting for Republicans or any vision the Republican Party had, per se.

It was all President Trump.

It was all his vision, his America First ideals, him saying look, I want your country to be great again for your kids, and it resonated with a lot of us.

Thus, I put pen to paper and The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino comes out December ninth, and you can preorder it now and save yourself a couple of bucks on Amazon.

But the process that I went through, as you know podcast Hello, radio show, and the television show, I have a a lot of stuff to do, you know, Monday through Friday on my nine to five.

So writing a book that was going to entail you know, ten plus years of the show's plus incorporate all the data and the concepts and everything that the show has been about, and meld it in with what Latinos were doing.

Written large in the context of an election that took some doing, and I needed help organizing my thoughts, organizing chapters, and getting it down to something that was a manageable book that wouldn't take you ten years to read.

So the guy that helped me do that, I want to introduce you to him and let you know what the process was like.

That's coming up on the Salcedo Storm podcast.

And now a word for my sponsors.

Oh jeez, if I hear another Obamacare commercial telling me how great it is, I think I'm going to vomit.

In reality, folks are paying out the nose for crappy insurance, meaning those commercials are just as much BS as Obamacare is.

What if you're under sixty five ineed quality affordable health coverage.

American Medical Plans specializes in under sixty five health insurance plans that have zero copays at the doctor and no deductible on all outpatient services, including surgeries.

You pick your doctors and hospitals.

There are private plans and roll any time, and there are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare.

If you're paying too much for your own health insurance, call American Medical Plans.

They are the answer to the cancer that is Obamacare.

Today, got to be honest with you.

The Republican Party has not been according itself.

Well I said on the introduction that when President Trump got a lot of votes from a lot of Americans, including those in the so called minority communities, they didn't switch their votes from Democrat to Republican because of some Republican Party vision for America, because there hasn't been much of one, they switched over for Trump, and only for President Trump.

I'm sad to report that.

I think a lot of Americans just don't really care about what's going on inside the Republican Party.

You know what, there's a group of people out there who are starting to care and who are exponentially growing and becoming a growing concern for the left.

It's the liberty loving Latino.

The rise of the liberty loving Latino.

I wrote about it in my new book.

It's dropping on December ninth.

Now.

As I have told you, folks, this book has been a culmination of the foundation of the Chris Salsado Show in radio form and television form, the Salsado Storm podcast.

Everything has been crammed into this little book.

And there was no way in hell I was going to be able to do it alone, and A with my schedule and B just organizing everything was going to be a daunting task.

And so I reached out to a god in the name of Matthew Klickstein.

He's an American screenwriter, a journalist, an author, playwright.

He helped me organize the book The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino, a New American Revolution.

He joins me, Now, hey.

Man, welcome, Hey Chris, thanks for having me on the show.

I really appreciate and no, and.

What, I appreciate the work you did.

And you know what, after all of the conversations you and I have had and focused on the book, we you and I never went over your process and I and maybe I was just saving it for this this type of interview because you had one hell of a task which was helping me to bring in and you and I, I guess I'll let the folks know.

You and I had scheduled several over the course of weeks and months, several one hour talking sessions about and to what you recorded, and you and I would talk about concepts and everything I wanted to lay out in the book.

And those one hour sessions often exceeded the one hour because we would get into these discussions and they were often many talk shows in and of themselves.

But I just wanted you to describe your process of taking that breadth of experience and condensing it into a condensing it into a book that made sense and flowed.

Yes, and we also as you might recall, we had quite a time crunch, as your listeners can imagine, when you're working on a book like this and we're dealing with very topical issues, a lot of it revolving around the election of Donald Trump, why he was elected, why there was such a referendum on everything that had been going on over the past four years.

Obviously the shifts that were happening culturally with as you say, liberty loving Latinos coming to the four and really helping Trump to get elected, and really those first few weeks of Trump's presidency, which we were still covering as we were finishing the book.

I mean, that was just a constant chasing as far as everything was changing, and you know, we really wanted to make sure the book was going to be as up to date as possible.

So the beat in which you and I had to work was quite daunting.

But you're a professional, I'm a professional, and we were able to do it, and you're right, a lot of it is this is not my first rodeo.

In fact, Chris, as you know this yours is one of three books that I worked on this year.

As far as being a ghostwriter or a co writer or an editor.

And really what it comes down to is I work in the way that's similar to I hate to say it in an LLM, you know, or a chat GPT.

I like to scrape the brains, if you will, of the people I work with, like yourself.

And as you said, that happens through a series of interviews.

So I will do these interviews.

I will ask the questions, I will do the follow up.

Then I take that material the hours on end that we might have ten hours, twenty hours of interviews over a course of a few weeks or a course of a few months, whatever it might be, and I curate it.

I organized it very very much, you know, for good or rail the way in LM does a large language model or a chat GPT type of a format, and curate it accordingly.

I take out any redundancies, I might fix any contradictions.

I do follow ups with my authors, such as yourself, to make sure that everything is correct.

So I really see myself in this regard as less of an actual writer per se and more of almost a documentary editor, where I'm asking questions.

I take that content or material, I rework it, I organize it, I curate it again.

I work out any redundancies or contradictions, and then I have a draft that I'm ready to show to the author.

In this case, you you tell me any notes that you might have, any tweaks, you might want to make, any updates, and then we kind of do a little bit of a ping pong of back and forth to make sure the book is exactly what it is that you want it to be.

But really, I'm taking the material you already have in your head, so to speak, right working it into what the final book will be.

And see that, And that, to me, that was the That was the if I had if we had just transcribed, removed all the redundancies that you would already mentioned, if you and I had just transcribed the conversations you and I and by the way, you actually contributed, uh.

Because I would offer a stat or a real world application that was developed either in the show, the television show, the radio show, the podcast, and then you would say, oh, that's just like and then I'm like, oh wow.

I would go check out something that you would offer and say do we do we include it?

Do we not?

So we in most cases we did just as a way to introduce more pop culture references and more more statistical references in the book.

But to me, it was if we had included just transcribed are our hours upon hours upon hours of interviews, this book would have been a thousand pages long.

I mean, so there was a lot of material, and we had another probably two or three more books, and who knows, maybe we'll work that out later down the road.

I do also appreciate your saying what you just said, Chris.

I like to offer when I can, especially I focus normally on pop culture history projects.

This was actually one of the few times where I was working with somebody who's a political commentator, a social commentator, such as yourself.

Typically I'm working on books about Nickelodeon, the Simpsons, cartoons, old TV shows, movies.

So this was a really great challenge for me.

But it was also a way to expand what it is that I normally do.

And I enjoyed very much working with you.

You know, we obviously don't agree on everything.

We're not always going to agree to you people are never going to agree on everything, but it was great to kind of challenge each other at times, and you know, I don't recall ever having a single disagreement with you.

Or an actual argument.

We might have said, well, should we do it like this?

Should we do it like that?

We might have fascinated back and forth about how to talk about a certain topic, or again what should go in or what shouldn't.

But you're right, I was really happy to be able to bring not just pop culture references, as you say, but also you know, there might have been a news story that happened that maybe you'd forgotten about or you didn't know about, or that I didn't know about.

So we were kind of educating each other as we were going along, because again, you know, not everyone's going to know everything.

So I think we helped each other to fill those gaps.

And that was a lot of fun too in the process.

And you know what, you took me right where I wanted to go because the concept of the book, because as you rightly point out, a lot of your experience has been in pop culture and in the entertainment realm, and the idea of a Latino conservative has been so antithetical to everything the culture has been, has been taught or been told, but the likes of CNN, the mainstream press, or inside the pop culture.

How tough was it for you to grasp on to the Wow, it's not just Chris Salsato who is a conservative, a liberty loving Latino.

But we're talking now because of the evidence that you were seeing that I was presenting in the book and laying out, not to mention the election, that there was this avalanche millions of liberty loving Latinos who were coming to the four How tough was that for a guy like you to like wrap your head.

Around, Well, Chris, I originally come from southern California, and so first of all, I grew up with a lot of people who were from the Hispanic community.

I lived more in La for a period of time.

I would go down to frankly Mexico, Tijuana and Rosarita and places like that when I was younger, so I was pretty familiar with the Hispanic community.

And as you and I talked about, Miss, you know, I've also traveled around the country for the last ten or fifteen years, living in all different places.

And for a while I was living in some of the big cities like La or New York or Baltimore a few other places like that, but then I really fell in love with some of these smaller towns that I've been living in over the last few years, Northern Colorado, Iowa City, Lawrence, Kansas, a few places like that.

And I got to meet people who are more on the ground level, who are not living in these huge collapsing, you know, metropolises that just have been completely falling apart over the last few years, as we all know.

And I got to understand what it was that we talk about in the book, and that you've been talking about for such a long time, that what you're right, what the mainstream media and pop culture has been saying for the last years just does not grow with what's actually happening on the ground level.

And just to wrap that up a little bit, I also worked for about three years as a producer on a show for Food Network, and I was actually working very closely with independent business people and oftentimes multi generational families who have these different independent restaurants around the country.

And that too taught me that, hey, there's something different going on than what mainstream media or these late night talk shows and you know, Stephen Colbert in the View and these shows are saying because they don't know, they're not connected to the regular everyday people.

As I was getting connected to working on this TV show or moving around the country working in various media outlets myself.

And so, to answer your question, Chris, I was already kind of familiar with and aware that a lot of what we talk about in the book and a lot of what you've been talking about the last two years was going on.

I just didn't have some of the confirmation that you were giving me, or that we discussed with some of the statistics and with what was going on from your level as far as you being such a great outlet for that, as far as the actual information, I was getting all my information anecdotally and just traveling around the country and meeting with these people.

So I guess the way to put it is it wasn't so much a challenge for me to understand what you were talking about.

It was more of, oh, instinctually, I was already seeing and feeling this for a few years now.

I was talking with and working with somebody who this is your job is to talk about this, to understand it, to know it, And it really just confirmed a lot of what I was already seeing and hearing from my travels around the country.

Matthew Klichstein as our guest right now, folks.

American streen writer, journalist, author, playwright helped me organize the book.

The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino A New American Revolution, comes out on December ninth, Folks.

You can pre order right now on Amazon and save yourself a couple of bucks.

And after Trump won, and because you and I were texting back and forth, is this is folks?

This is one of these t up questions I already know the answer to because we were in constant contact, Matthew and I as President Trump won.

Because that the main one of the main frameworks of this book is my interview that I sat down with President Trump before the election in Las Vegas in October, and so that was part of the basic framework of the book.

And then he wins.

So what went through your mind about the project we had just completed was in the editing process after Trump wins and everything that you and I have been writing about and introducing statistics, but also to be fair, because we didn't know how the election was going to turn out.

What we had theorized was coming to pass, and how did that grab you?

Because I remember the text messages that you and.

I were we're.

Undertaking after he won go ahead.

Yeah, you know, obviously it was by Cameron.

We were both very excited because you know, I'm not a very political person myself, to be perfectly want you know, I'm just here to help you tell a story and to tell it right.

But it was exciting to see so much of what you've been talking about and a lot of the material you've given me, because in addition to the interviews we did, you of course sent me articles that you had written in the past.

You had sent me some podcast episodes to listen to and radio show episodes to listen to, so I had material from you from the past, and I'd also done some preparation work already before we even really got into it, just so I knew who you were and the kinds of work that you did, so that I can be on your same page.

So to see that material and to see how prescient and prophetic you were already going back even a few years in fact, you know, I would imagine we might talk about this too, but you know, you've been talking about wanting to do a book like this for a while, but you know, people weren't sure because well, is this true and and what's he really saying?

Here, so to see that you were right, and to see that the book that we were working on in real time was becoming more and more prophetic and was becoming more and more of a divining rod, and that no, we're right here and you're right here, Chris was very exciting.

At the same time, the reason it's by camera is at the same time, I was a little concerned because, boy, this is moving so fast, and are we going to be able to get this book out on time?

And are we going to be able to keep it as topical and up to date, which I know we worked very hard to do, yes, and working with you know, the editors and that kind of thing to make sure that would be the case.

Because I was saying, wow, we're we're right, and I hope that we can get this out here soon enough, and I hope that we can really, you know, talk about some of these issues and topics that are changing every day.

It was really wild to see that.

But I will say that we were also very lucky, Chris that some of our dear friends like Jasmine Crockett were just giving us more and more material every single day to put into the book and say, well, she's saying exactly what we're saying.

They're saying.

She's actually saying and she's saying, you know, everyone should go and attack people and hit you know, Avid, and you know, they were actually saying the things that we were saying.

They were thinking.

Now they were saying it out loud.

Yeah, people like Jasmine Crockett and Maxine Waters and some of these others.

So that was exciting to see too, that they were actually playing into the pages of our.

Book when when the returns were coming in.

Folks, you should have seen some of these these text messages between Matthew and I because it was like, oh my gosh, we wrote about this, we wrote about this, we wrote about this.

There's a there's a chapter on intersectionality, folks, which which was well one of one of the main reasons why the Liberty Liberty Loving Latino decided to part ways with leftist and Marxist and the Democrat Party and the avalanche of evidence post election that started rolling in what we just wrote about was a particular interest to both Matthew and myself.

So let me ask you about other projects you're working on now that The Rise the Liberty Living Latino was due out a December ninth, and what are the projects are you working on down the pipe.

Coincidentally, I also just finished another book with another Newsmax featured player, Patrick Dorenson.

These days, as num to plume is the common Sense Cowboy.

You have to be known as the Libertarian Cowboy.

He's on Carl Higbe's show a lot and various other shows as a commentator, and we just finished his book.

Coincidentally, his book is coming out the same day, December ninth, through Human Books, which is actually Newsmax's internal publisher.

Been great to work with.

That book is called The Common Sense Cowboys Guide to Life with the subtitle of Stories from the Old Guy at the End of the Bar.

It's it's less political, uh, it still deals a lot with traditional values.

He's so funny.

I love I love Patrick Dornson.

He comes on the show too.

Patrick Great.

Oh, he's fantastic.

He really is the Sam Elliott character speaking of pop culture, he really is the Sam Elliott character from The Big Lebowski.

I mean that was kind of once we both came to that conclusion that that's what we should go for.

That's when the subtitle came out, The Old Guy at the end of the bar and and that kind of thing.

And yeah, I think I think FANSI ers Chris are really going to like Patrick's book.

Again.

It's called The Common Sense Cowboys Delights.

And what's nice about it is we broke it up.

It's different than your book, as each book I work on, is we broke it up into little sections where Patrick talks about different values and topics like bravery and patriotism and faith.

So you can almost flip through it like a glossary.

And we wrote it very much like a chicken soup for the soul meets kind of Tuesdays with Maury.

And Patrick has lived so many lives himself.

He's in his seventies now.

He's worked on all these different political campaigns.

He lived in Washington, VC for a while in Sacramento.

He has seen a lot of the corruption and the venality and the cupidity of the politics that you are talking about, right and so in your book and on your show and so, but this is more of just kind of for people who want something a little more relaxed and a little easier and just kind of some some thoughts on life from this guy who knows what he's talking about.

So that's coming out also Deceummer Night.

I have another book that I'm finishing right now with I live in northern Colorado, as I mentioned, with a local whiskey distillery owner.

He actually used to be a pastor, so he went from being a pastor to a whiskey guy, which is kind of an interesting story and talks about that.

We don't have some of the specifics yet as far as publishing and whatnot.

We're wrapping that up right now and then just real quick.

Also, I just had two other books come out earlier this year of my own, a graphic novel called Daisy Goes to the Moon, which is kind of a wacky science fiction comedy, a little bit of everything, but Daisy Goes to the Moon is that one.

And then a book of interviews with a man named Lloyd Kaufman who was the creator of a film studio called Troma.

They made movies like The Toxic Avenger, which just got rebooted, kind of some of the funny, goofy, sort of B movies of the eighties and nineties.

People like Trey Parker and Matt Stone came from that world.

Eli Ross James Gunn, of course, was Lloyd's main protege for a long time James Gunn and went on to do all these movies like super the Galaxy and recently Superman.

Yeah, so that book's out as well.

Lloyd Kaufman Interviews.

If anybody wants to see any of my other project coming out soon or what I'm working on, you can always just go to my website just www dot Matthew with one T, I mean t HW, clicksteam, kl ick s t e I m dot com.

Everything's there.

And I'm also I do speaking engagements and talk at colleges and things like that and have a few events coming up in different conventions and whatnot.

And it's been a real pleasure working with you, Chris.

Like I said, this was something a little different from me.

I normally don't really work in the political ram realm.

But it was fun.

And what was great about working with you, Chris, and why I think people will enjoy this book, whether they like myself or political or not, is we do kind of talk about some of these issues in terms a lot of times of pop culture, certain cartoons, movies, TV shows.

So we're really making the book be more accessible and easier to read.

You know, it's not going to be stereo instructions.

This is something and it's one of the ways that you talk already, Chris.

You are really accessible and relatable and we put a lot of that into the book for sure.

Matthew Klickstein, he is an American screenwriter, folks, journalist, author, playwright, and help me organize and put together The Rise the Liberty Loving let that you know it's a new American Revolution coming out out on December ninth, Matthew, appreciate the time man.

Thank you Chris, as if.

You hadn't heard it enough times already.

Folks.

The book drops December ninth, and you can pick it up right now on Amazon pre order.

Save yourself some bucks, make my publisher happy.

And folks, I hope the book resonates with you because we not only detail what the Democrat Socialists did to cause this massive swing from the Latino community to the America First Coalition, we detail a path forward on how if this stays, these trends hold and the America First Coalition is able to make permanent their presence in the Republican Party, it is going to mean electoral victories for now for decades to come.

So just keep that in mind.

And until we visit again.

My friends, remember this, A society's worth isn't measured by how much powers stolen by and out of control government.

Society's worth is measured by how much power is reserved for you and me, we the people.

You keep fighting for freedom out there, my friends,
