This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome, it is the Ben Ferguson podcast. Nice to have you with us. And there have been some of you

that have been asking a question, and many of you may not know about this. I have launched a new

podcast. It is one that you may have seen in the podcast feed. It is called the 47 morning update.

It is a 10 to 12 minute podcast of the biggest stories coming out of the Oval Office.

This morning podcast is obviously going to be very different than this show, where we talk more in depth about the issues and the stories and what is actually happening.

But there have been quite a few people that have been asking questions about it, especially

on social media.

And so what we thought we would do this morning is let you hear what the 47 morning update

actually is within this show.

Now, it is a separate feed.

You can subscribe to it just like you do any other

podcast. So make sure that you do that, search it. Now, one of the other great things about

this show is that it is quick and fast. It's a short term. They describe this as a short form

podcast, I should say.

And for many of you that may only have 10, 12 minutes a day, you're going to absolutely fall in love with it. By the way, it went to the top of the charts on Apple because of you guys. And I wanted to say thank you so much for that. So this morning, I'm going to let you hear the 47 morning update. If you love it, and I hope you do, I hope you hit that, you go and find it, put in the search 47 morning update with Ben Ferguson.

It's right there, and you can scribe and listen to that as well.

And then, don't worry, I'm going to keep doing this show, the long form that I do now, the 30 to 40 minutes you get from me each and every day, so don't worry about that.

So here it is. This is this new show I'm doing, the 47 morning update. Check it out. As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. All of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two.

All hell is going to break out.

You're listening to the 47 morning update with Ben Ferguson.

Good Tuesday morning, Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories we're covering today on the 47 morning update.
