America First with Sebastian Gorka
Dr. Sebastian Gorka began his show AMERICA FIRST on New Years Day, 2019. His ascent to this role could not have been more unusual, or more of a true "American Story."To find out how it began, you have to go back to the 1950s, to Communist controlled Hungary.Hoping for freedom after the utter devastation of the Second War, the proud nation of Hungary was instead taken over by a Stalinist dictatorship subordinate to Moscow. One young man, who had suffered under the Nazis, decided to resist and so Paul Gorka created a secret Christian student organization to subvert the Communist stranglehold of his homeland. Paul was eventually betrayed by the British double-agent Kim Philby, arrested by the Secret Police, tortured and then given a life sentence for fighting for democracy and liberty. After two years in solitary confinement, two years down a prison coal mine, and two years in the central political prison in Budapest, Paul was eventually liberated by the brave freedom fighters of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. With the 17-year old daughter of a fellow political prisoner, Paul escaped across the minefields along the border of Western Hungary to a life of liberty in the UK, where Paul and Susan would be married and their son, Sebastian, was born. With parents who had lived as children under fascism and then escaped Communist Hungary, Sebastian was raised to love freedom. And his love of talk-radio developed early. As a child he would listen late into the night to the shows of the London Broadcasting Company with a small transistor radio under his pillow. It was with this special family background, and growing up under the influence of the Conservative warrior Margaret Thatcher, that Sebastian learned how to fight totalitarian ideologies, be they Fascism, Communism, or Global Jihadism. He would end up serving in the British Army reserve in a Military Intelligence unit, then after the fall of the Berlin Wall, in the first freely-elected Conservative administration in Hungary. The after the 9/11 attacks he became a professor on a Pentagon-funded counter-terrorism program run out of Germany.In 2008 he moved to America with his family where he continued to work for the Defense Department and become a proud American citizen in 2012. He obtained his doctorate in Political Science from Corvinus University in Budapest and was a fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. In Washington, he served as Associate Dean for Congressional Affairs and Relations to the Special Operations Community at National Defense University and has also taught on the Masters program at Georgetown University. In 2020, President Donald Trump Named Gorka to the National Security Education Board. This board provides strategic consultation and was established by congressional act in 1991. Dr. Gorka has briefed the CIA, the DIA, the US Navy Seals, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, served as an expert for the DoJ during the Boston Bombing trial, and testified before Congress on the threat of Global Jihadism. He remains a guest instructor at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, at Fort Bragg, the home of the Green Berets. Gorka writes for The Hill and has written two books for Regnery Publishing. His first "Defeating Jihad," was a national best-seller and his latest, released in October, is called "Why We Fight…Defeating America's Enemies with No Apologies." Before launching his SALEM show, "AMERICA FIRST with Sebastian Gorka," he was an advisor to candidate Donald J. Trump and served on the staff of the White House in 2017 as Deputy Assistant to the President for Strategy.

Wilkow!
In summer 1998 Andrew Wilkow was hired for his full-time radio show at 100.1 WCLG-FM in Morgantown, WV. Andrew moonlighted as a bartender, doorman and DJ at local bars. His politics caused friction among his co-workers, something that became part of his radio show. This was the beginning of Andrew becoming a "talker" on the radio. In January 2001 Andrew was hired to be the mid-day DJ at Radio 104 WMRQ, an alternative rock station in Hartford, CT. In a cradle of political correctness and liberal thinking Andrew hit a nerve. He made immediate waves with the listeners and instant enemies among the staff. On September 11th , 2001 the United States suffered the worst terrorist attack in history. Andrew left the radio station that day to volunteer at the Red Cross blood and supply drive. The program director, Todd Thomas, then freed Andrew to take his shift straight into politics and opinion. Little by little he built an audience and made Name for himself in a top 50 radio market. In 2003, Andrew transferred to 810 AM WGY, at a sister station cluster in Albany, NY, where they had an opening for a full-time talk show host. At the same time Mark Levin was moved to the full-time schedule at WABC in New York and Andrew took over his Sunday talk show on WABC. In the summer 2005 Mel Karmazin, the CEO of Sirius Satellite Radio, had been driving in a rent-a-car that did not have Sirius. He was listening to WABC when Andrew was doing his show. He made a note "to hire this guy". "The Andrew Wilkow Show" was launched on Sirius in August of 2006. The show has since rebranded as "The Wilkow Majority" and continues to air daily on SiriusXM Patriot at Noon Eastern. Fast forward to 2022, and Wilkow! joins the Salem News Channel video lineup weekdays at 5pm Eastern.
