Politics and Religion with Chris Salcedo: Addressing Government Overreach and Civic Engagement In this episode of Politics and Religion, the hosts commemorate Memorial Day weekend 2025, expressing gratitude for the sacrifices made by service members. Guest Chris Salcedo, a conservative political host and podcaster, discusses the detrimental effects of big government policies—including income tax, entitlement programs, and Obamacare—and the alarming influence of unelected entities. Emphasizing America’s foundation as a republic, they critique the growth of governmental power and stress the importance of civic engagement, education reform, and active participation in politics. The conversation touches on the inefficiencies of the current system, such as the federal income tax and healthcare costs, and calls for bold actions and representative integrity to restore governmental accountability and protect democracy.
