Enjoy the Tony Olson Project
Bob talks with Tony Olson, musician and author of the 2014 book “Spin Game.” The book reached number 2 on Amazon’s best-seller list and aimed to expose what Olson perceived as political manipulation through media during the Obama era. Olson believed his work contributed to Trump’s 2016 election victory by educating readers about alleged leftist tactics. In the interview, Olson discussed how he saw the Obama administration and what he termed the “leftist army” as catalysts for growing division in America. He pointed to identity politics, media bias, and what he described as the left’s strategy of pitting groups against each other based on race, religion, gender, income, and sexual orientation. Olson argued that this approach and corporate media support set the stage for sharp political polarization. The conversation also touched on Olson’s views of the Biden administration, which he characterized as detrimental to American freedoms through increased government spending and immigration policies. Olson supported Trump’s potential future presidency, suggesting it could reverse these trends and “Make America Great Again.” He called for listeners to back Trump’s efforts to navigate what he anticipates will be significant resistance from political opponents.
