McConnell Wants Corporations Out of Politics Unless He Benefits | The Daily Social Distancing Show

mitch mcconnell senate minority leader and action figure that got way too close to a light bulb like most republicans mcconnell has been very upset that corporations like delta and coca-cola are speaking out against georgia's new voter restriction law which limits drop boxes makes it illegal to pass out water to people waiting in line and lets people skip to the front if they're wearing boat shoes and now mcconnell is telling corporations to just stay out of politics completely with one small exception there's also big news concerning the fallout from georgia's new laws restricting voter access major league baseball announced july's all-star game will be played in denver following its removal from atlanta in protest of the georgia law today senate republican leader mitch mcconnell traditionally a big supporter of corporate free speech slammed companies like coca-cola and delta for speaking out against the law republicans buy stock and fly on planes and drink coca-cola too so what i'm saying here is i think this is quite stupid to jump in the middle of a highly controversial issue particularly when they got their facts wrong i'm not talking about political contributions most of them contribute to both sides they have political action committees that's fine it's legal it's appropriate i support that i'm talking about taking a position on a highly incendiary issue like this and punishing a community or a state because you don't like a particular law they pass i just think it's stupid now that that's my mitch right there ha ha look at this mitch mitchas keep your mouth shut and hand over the money that's literally what bank robbers say for real mitch mcconnell does not give a [ __ ] man he just lays out the game for you straight ah here's a political opinion for you uh cash rules everything around me cray [ __ ] and you know this is especially hilarious coming from mitch mcconnell because don't forget don't forget he helped create the situation today where politicians are so dependent on big business for campaign spending that they basically let companies write all of the laws but you see mitch after you spent decades helping companies intervene in politics you can't now be upset that companies want to intervene in politics the monster you created is coming after you just like how you enabled trump and then he came after you or like how you enabled your foreskin and then it took over your neck and by the way i like how mcconnell is especially offended that businesses would take a position in a highly controversial issue because i mean like if the issue isn't controversial then why would they announce their position at all what does that mean it would be weird if coca-cola came out like it is our official position as a company that it can be nice to sleep in on the weekend don't act me don't act me moving on to international news back in 2018 you might remember that donald trump took some time off of golf to tear up the deal that was supposed to keep iran from getting nuclear weapons and now joe biden's attempt to get things back on track is off to a delicate start the u.s and iran began indirect talks today to discuss possible u.s re-entry into the 2015 iran nuclear deal iranian and american officials held talks today in vienna well sort of but their representatives didn't meet face to face instead each group spoke with european diplomats who then shuttled back and forth across the city between the two parties hoping to move the conversation along okay you gotta admit this is this is hilarious the united states and iran are so at odds that they won't even talk directly to each other this is passing messages through other people like they're in middle school uh france could you please tell iran that we can be friends again but only if they say they're sorry first uh france maybe you could go and tell america that they started it so they should apologize we started the fight we uh uh what about the hostages oh i'm not talking to you america i was talking to friends okay everybody calm down calm down let's just all have a little sex and we can figure this out huh and don't get it twisted repairing this relationship is gonna be tough but that is what biden signed up for he's gonna spend his whole presidency repairing the things that trump messed up getting control of the pandemic fixing the post office cancelling the white house subscription to wet butt magazine you don't need a paper copy it's all online now and finally let's get into some technology news we're all familiar with siri right the surveillance state omni spy who helps us schedule meetings but the next time you ask siri to do something for you the voice that says it doesn't know what you mean could sound a little different siri is getting a bit of a voice makeover apple's virtual assistant will now feature four voice options two more than its previous update now siri will also no longer default to a female sounding voice in order to be more inclusive apple changed things up after other companies virtual assistants faced backlash for all defaulting to female voices apple says you're going to notice these siri changes in a software update later this year i'm sure that apple has its reasons but it's kind of an [ __ ] move to fire siri in the middle of a pandemic you didn't hear this from me but just the other day i heard siri asking alexa if she could borrow some money okay i understand why they're changing this but i'm a little worried about having a male siri hey siri how do i get to the opera dude you want to go to the opera the game is on tonight oh no no no no bro i meant how do i get to buffalo wild wings you know i smash right siri hey siri you know i smash right [Music] you
