With degrees from Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School and Harvard’s Kennedy School, Aaron has an unparalleled background in international affairs, economics, law, business, and politics. An ardent defender of the First Amendment and equal rights for all, Aaron gained national recognition when he was sued frivolously for $20 million by Rush Limbaugh, et al, for using the word "Rush" in the title of his national radio program ("After the Rush"). With broad-based support across the entire political spectrum, Aaron prevailed in the federal court case. Limbaugh didn't get a penny while Aaron was applauded for standing up to him. Aaron used humor throughout that event as he effectively does on his television program.

In 1998, Aaron moved from the Talk America Radio Network (where he was heard on 51 radio stations across the country) exclusively into the television arena. He has appeared on and hosted a number of television and radio programs. The talk industry's leading publication -- "TALKERS MAGAZINE" -- selected Aaron out of 5,000 hosts across the country as one of America's “100 Most Important Talk Show Hosts” in 1997 (along with other hosts such as Don Imus, G. Gordon Liddy, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, Howard Stern, and Bruce Williams).
