What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorJoining us is Tobias Marchetti-Wren, a lifestyle creator who has built a sponsored morning routine around Israel's election fight.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTobias, what is a morning routine doing with a fraud allegation?

  3. Tobias Marchetti-WrenGreat question, Chip.

  4. Tobias Marchetti-WrenIt's called Recount Rise, it starts at five a. m. and you can save thirty percent with the code COUNT30, link in bio. There is no bio link, to be clear.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOkay, but the news is that Likud accused Arab parties of stealing the election, with cash envelopes and ballots.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHaaretz reports Likud has provided no evidence. Is that step one?

  7. Tobias Marchetti-WrenStep one is warm lemon water.

  8. Tobias Marchetti-WrenStep two is reading the allegation out loud while the kettle boils, link in bio, and I stop right after the envelopes part, because that's the part I can pronounce.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYou never read it?

  10. Tobias Marchetti-WrenI read the part about the envelopes.

  11. Tobias Marchetti-WrenLikud says it's handing hundreds of witness accounts to police, and my routine has zero witnesses, so I'm actually ahead on transparency. Link in bio.

  12. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe election committee says it will examine the complaint as part of its routine review.

  13. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDoes your code get examined too, because I tried COUNT30 and it says invalid?

  14. Tobias Marchetti-WrenYes, it expired. It expired before I announced it. The kettle, though, is real.

  15. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the only thing with a verified discount in this whole story is the kettle, and you're pouring it onto a full mug.
