Well, it is the saddest day in the Jewish calendar. It is Tishabov. We'll get to that a little bit later on in the program. I'll explain exactly why people like me are not eating or drinking. And so it's not exactly a giant shock that this is just another terrible day in the calendar. There's sort of a Jewish quasi-superstition that Tishabov is just going to be a bad day all around.

Apparently, that is exactly right.

We'll get to that in just one moment. But as you may have noticed, a lot of uncertainty right now, a lot of volatility right now. Nobody knows what the next day is going to bring right now. That might be one reason that you might want to diversify at least a little bit into precious metals. I've been telling you since 2016. It might be worthwhile to invest at least a little bit in precious metals.

And if you're going to invest in gold, you should look at my friends over at Birch gold. That was back when gold was $1,300 bucks an ounce. Now, gold is at a new all-time high. Why?

breaking news, as of this hour, is the death of a former GOP presidential candidate, Herman Kane.

I believe I've interviewed Mr. Kane on a couple of occasions. It really is, obviously, a sad and

tragic story. He was a stage four cancer survivor, actually. He died at the age of 74.

His death was announced Thursday on his website by Dan Calabrese, who edits his site and had previously written about his colleague's diagnosis.
