Aaron and Thor Benson talk Stormy Daniels, Elon Musk, creeping authoritarianism, and more

"Even if Trump isn't the nominee, we've started accepting a lot of things that could lead us closer to authoritarianism."

Episode 6 of the Aaron Rupar Show features independent journalist and Public Notice contributor Thor Benson. Aaron and Thor talk about Thor’s personal interactions with Stormy Daniels and Elon Musk, work Thor has done about artificial intelligence and creeping authoritarianism, and a timely piece you’ll be able to read soon in this newsletter about how other countries have handled the prosecution of former political leaders.

Listen to the audio at the top of this post, or watch the footage below.

Next week’s podcast will feature Kat Abu of Media Matters on how she became a TikTok sensation, Tucker Carlson, and much more.

Aaron and Thor, will the broadcasts by Thor on AI and

Authoritarianism be available in

text format for deaf & hard of

hearing? Are they included in

your Substack "Talk". I'm not

noton Twitter, so that's not

workable and being deaf has

its drawbacks on Substack with

podcasts etc.

Victoria -- this is a good suggestion. I will ask my producer about it before the next episode. Thanks.
