Gavin Newsom the Snake, and the Clear and Present Danger 'Best Friends' Line
from Presidential Debate Reaction | The Tim Dillon Show #397 · #397
4 min
Tim characterizes Gavin Newsom as a treacherous, ambitious opportunist lying in wait to replace Biden, uses a Clear and Present Danger movie analogy about giving reporters 'nowhere to go,' and plays/reacts to real Newsom clips defending Biden.
- Tim describes Gavin Newsom as a snake in the grass, an empty suit who lives on a vineyard and believes in nothing.
- Tim explains how he can simultaneously dislike Newsom as a politician and as a person while still respecting his treachery.
- Tim reads Newsom's response to Biden stepping back as a calculated move—Newsom is lying in wait, ready to pounce with just enough venom.
- Tim references the movie Clear and Present Danger, where a president's advisor tells him to say a friend is not just a friend but a lifelong best friend to give critics nowhere to go.
- Newsom tells the press that he and Biden are lifelong best friends, directly following the script from the movie.
- Tim explains that Newsom can't dump Biden because he'd have to run on the Biden agenda if he enters the race.
- Tim ends the show wishing Tom Clancy were still alive to see Newsom's playbook unfold.
