hello bruce, always a pleasure to check in with you, hope you're safe and doing well. your thoughts on the continued violence in occupied west bank and your daily rates by reaching forces into these camps and gunting down these young men, well these are without any doubt uh the war crimes, but these are these are war crimes that have been going on in the west bank for decades uh what uh what is happening is that to to a certain degree the these uh these crimes are passing - under the radar because of the attention to the the genocide that's taking place in gaza. nevertheless, i think that what what this reflects is really israel trying to put the the the finishing touches on what on the plan that's been in the offing from the the the very the very outset of the zinas project in in palestine and that is to... uh tried to achieve the the greater israel project, which means basically ethnically cleansing. all of all of historic palestine, gaza, the west bank, east jerusalem, the the attack, which is supposedly against hamas is quite simply the justification for a plan to

let me now introduce bruce gagnon. bruce gagnon is an activist and political commentator. bruce gagnon, welcome to the program. iraq is um... basically facing these four sanctions by the us uh which has sanctioned a third of iraqi uh private banks from conducting dollar transactions. this obviously is going to have negative consequences uh on the whole like on the iraqi dinar, but it's going to also have negative consequence on the for example foreign investments, which then brings about the question, isn't the us sacrificing iraq for its ill intentions, controlling the flow of us? dollars to countries like iran, lebanon and syria, for example. yeah, i believe so, i think the us is sending very clear message to iraq that you either do as we tell you, or we will also destroy you, we will continue to destroy you, i should say, because us has been punishing iraq for many, many years now. it's very clear that the united states is sending message to iraq that we're holding hundre billion dollars of your funds in our federal reserve banks, and we're only going to give it to you,

bruce: we have an a.i.g, we've already launched three or four use cases, which allows us to start to test and learn. so, for example, how we serve folks that call in to our contact centers and using that predictive analytics about how to execute the calls more efficiently and more effectively. so there's a number of places in the bank that we're going to be rolling that out, and then as you have some success, then you figure out what are the next things down the list and how can you be even more impactful with the next things. but certainly the potential for kind of game changing impact in terms of customer service and cost efficiency is all there, all in front of us. annmarie: cost efficiency is going to ring some pills. how many people are not going to have a job because of artificial intelligence and how it changes the mix of the people you hire. bruce: what's interesting, i just look at us citizens since we had an i.p.o. had about 18,000 people in the company. we've done several large acquisitions, and

[laughter] bruce: that is a good question. bigger project that nasa has enlisted several companies to participate in making spacecraft that could go to the moon, that could support the artemis program. that is nasa's attempt to send astronauts back to the moon for the first time since the 1970's. the u.s. is not the only country trying to get people back to the moon. china is pushing hard to have chinese astronauts go there for the first time. that is something they hope to do by the end of the decade. there are other countries that are participating in the u.s. program. japan is part of that. there are many others that are also hoping to have a role to play in getting astronauts back to the moon. the longer term plan is that the moon potentially has resources. that there is ice potentially at the south pole of the moon that could be used to make oxygen, that could be used to make hydrogen, that could help to sustain a longer-term presence on the moon, and maybe even use that as a launchpad to get to other places such as mars.

we've said that all along. >> david: let's get right to mary bruce. mary, on that last point we heard there from the speaker of the house, house republicans have long said there would be no ukraine funding without border security. he said that right there again. but house republicans last week turned down that bipartisan border deal by republicans and democrats in the senate to beef up security, and as you reported here, was the kind of bipartisan deal we haven't seen in years in this country. >> reporter: david, look, republicans got what they had been demanding, a bipartisan border deal, and then rejected it. donald trump derailing the whole thing, eager to deny president biden a win on immigration. and now, the republican house speaker is back making those same demands. instead of negotiating with democrats tonight, house republicans have voted to impeach department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas for his handling of the border. the charges will be rejected in the democratic-led senate. david? >> mary bruce tonight, mary, thank yo
