What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe New York Post reports two Christian groups were paid sixty-two million dollars to resettle tens of thousands of Somalis in Minnesota.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith me is lifestyle creator Marisol Teague, who has made a morning routine out of it.

  3. Marisol TeagueHank, I wake up at four forty-five, I read the headline, and I sip my oats. It's called the Resettlement Rise-and-Shine. Use code SETTLE ten.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo, you read the whole story before building a routine around it?

  5. Marisol TeagueI read the part that matters, which is sixty-two million. That's a lot of morning. Use code SETTLE twenty.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe story also says Minnesota was once a hub for Hmong families, resettled after the CIA trained Laotians. What's that step in your routine?

  7. Marisol TeagueStep four, Hank, stretching. History is just a long stretch. And these oats are overnight, like history. Use code SETTLE thirty.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOvernight, like history.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet me ask you again. Have you read past the headline? It is a politically charged immigration story, and you're selling oats on it.

  10. Marisol TeagueI have a team that reads. They said it's bullish on breakfast. Also, the oats are forty percent off with code SETTLE fifty.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFifty percent now. That jar was thirty a minute ago.

  12. Marisol TeagueThe code is a living thing, Hank. It grows when I'm nervous. Use SETTLE seventy.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm typing it in now. It says invalid code.

  14. Marisol TeagueThat's part of the journey, and the journey is sixty-two million dollars of oats. Use code SETTLE one hundred.
