Fox two news headlines today, a couple stories going on in the world. The vice president spoke to mostly a Republican group in Auburn Hills, highlighting 2,000 new manufacturing jobs in Michigan's ranking second in the country for robotics research. He also faced questions about the rising gas prices, which remain a concern for many. I didn't know we were the second in the country for robotic research. There's I don't think I didn't either. That is kind of impressive. Yeah. Also, there's no answers you can give about rising gas prices. Well, I mean, they're going to, there's a, where the oil comes from, there's a problem. So if these big tankers can't get through the street of harmonious, amuse, amuse, and they can't. And they can't. Then yeah, the fuels not getting through and then the prices go up. Maybe this is maybe this is corn's time. I don't know if everybody's ready for that. I don't know what it is.
I just, I just note that corn can do it. Maybe paddle cars. Have a Fred Flintstone vehicle. Yeah. The national debt has passed $39 trillion rising quickly. Just weeks into the war with Iran. The conflict has already cost more than $12 billion. And experts warned the debt could hit $40 trillion by the midterm election. It's funny because when there's national debt, like it, it's like, it's just there's national debt. Like if we have debt, like our lives are screwed. Oh, yeah. No, we can't, like we can't have, we can't be a million dollars in debt. We're not allowed to be. No, and honestly, people talk about we don't want to leave debt for our children, but do we care? Do we shouldn't that be their problem? Yeah. I mean, you're never going to get out of $39 trillion in debt. I mean, it's not going to happen. I think at this point, you just have to kind of call it a wash. And is that, am I wrong? Is the bulk of where we get our money from?
China? Is that who we're all with? You know, you're going to start other other places that we get. I know that we. You got to, you got to Google that. I don't know. You're on the fly. I mean, if you want me to break it, I don't, I don't, I don't know. I'm just wondering. I don't think it's all for borrowers. I know our economy. Yes, it relies. And we make more money when we're probably shouldn't. So it's our own too. Yeah, yeah. I was once told that if China wanted to really start a war with the United States, there wouldn't be any missiles or bombs. They would just, that would be a colony. Yeah. They just, we're going to need our money back. That's what it would be. That would be, yeah, you would be like, what would you do? That are just like a data breach. Right. A cyber attack. Well, it could be anybody. Any country could do that. Yeah. NASA is rolling out its Artemis II rocket back to the launch pad tonight. After repairs delayed the mission earlier this month, the next target launch is April 1st. I really wanted to because I do the space minute on TV really thought about maybe like, oh, I should, I should go, I can't probably get a credential and head down there for that
launch because it is an epic launch. I mean, think about it. A rocket with humans is going to take off, going ahead to the moon and going to circle the moon and then come back. And we haven't done anything like that since the 60s. So like, that's a really big deal. But the thing, thank God, I didn't ask because this thing has been postponed and moved like 12 times. So if you're the humans doing this, how many postpones do you decide I'm not going to know? Like, I think I'm out now. I think I'll be out now. Yeah, yeah. Like, I mean, honestly, when you're an astronaut, you are brave as. No, you are. For sure. Because you're strapped onto a rocket and you hope that everything goes well. Yeah. And then you're in the vacuum of space and hope everything goes well there. And then you hope you sling shot around the moon and come back safely. Yeah. Well, that's Sandra Bullock, how that worked out. Right. Not very good. Not good. I love that movie. So quiet. No, so quiet. So quiet. It was a high or fuel cost tied to the war in Iran are starting to hit metric to trick restaurants.
Some are considered adding surcharges as become it's more expensive to transport food. So you know, the Cisco truck when it arrives with all the cheese sticks and chicken fingers. Yeah, it's starting to cost more money because it's cost more fuel. I totally understand that. But seriously, who can afford to buy anything or do anything at this point? I mean, I'm not going to name any restaurants and they're great and that's fine. But this was before the gas issue. Like, if you go somewhere like the chophouse or candy dancer, I'm going to open a menu and I'm going to see something's $49 and I'm not going to flinch. That's always been normal. It's an expectation there, yeah. There's a couple restaurants we go to that are just like in the neighborhood. Two of them specifically. And I'm like, wow, so the cheapest thing on your menus now are $39. And it's like, I mean, we're talking restaurants that. And I hadn't been in one of them for a really long time. Right, right. And I'm like, wow, we're so this appetizer is 18. I'm like, what happened here? So food prices were already going right. This is Jim. Hello.
