Tonight on Anderson Cooper 360° I shared how US commanders at NORAD praised their Canadian partners when I visited. So I asked Scott Jennings if SecDef Hegseth should be attacking them. His answer: “The Canadians have been good allies…if I were Sec Hegseth I would think about all my public communications this way. Does this advance or enhance what my missions are for the President…that would be my humble advice.”

One day after the EU embassy in Kyiv survived a near miss by a Russian jet-powered drone, I asked EU Amb Katarina Mathernova 🇪🇺 if she believes it was a deliberate attack: “Whether it was a target or whether it was careless disregard to us as a diplomatic mission being there, it's hard to say, but certainly it felt like an attack.”

Question: The oil deal is between President Trump who will be gone in a couple of years and the unelected leader of Venezuela. Do companies see this as lasting? Christopher Sabatini of Chatham House: “I really wouldn't put much chance of this really ever happening…there's the unconstitutionality, her lack of popularity and uncertainty in her future…many from the opposition who are understandably upset…I can't imagine if elections were to be held, that they would uphold this agreement. So, no, I can't imagine that any of the major oil companies are going to rush in.”

“This smells horribly. This is a kleptocracy in Caracas, dealing with a kleptocracy in the US. This is not in the in the interest of the Venezuelan people. It's an illegitimate deal that is done by an interim president that pretends to allocate 65 billion a barrels of reserves.” - Fmr Venezuelan Planning Minister Ricardo Hausmann

Question: Trump describes the US-Venezuela oil deal as win-win. Is it or is the US taking colonial possession Venezuela's oil? Francisco Minaldi, Rice University: “We still don't know the exact details of the deal. And so far we have heard about a 100 year lease, which is not in the Venezuelan legal regime…It's highly unorthodox, to say the least.”

When I asked MP Halyna Yanchenko if Zelensky’s threat to close Russian airspace is justified, she notes Ukraine hasn’t had “any any air connection since the beginning of full-scale invasion…the reason why Ukraine is considering closing the sky over Russia, is not have any kind of revenge but to complicate the work of military machine of Russia.”

“Even the apartheid regime in South Africa did not dare to say that if a black man kills a white man, he will be executed. But if a white man kills a black man, he will not be. What Israel did…it is exactly that saying that a Palestinian could be sentenced to death penalty, but an Israeli no for the same crime.” -Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti on Israel’s new death penalty law.

Gulp. Me: How much would a $100 pair of sneakers made in China or Vietnam cost if made in the U.S.? Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America’s Matt Priest: “$300 or $400 easily. In fact, we've even just looked at the tariffs coming into place tonight at midnight, a $150 pair of running shoes will be $230.”

I pressed senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan on whether Hamas accepts any responsibility for the loss of civilian life in Gaza, which residents have told CNN they believe it does. He wouldn’t answer and instead took me on a history lesson of events he didn’t know I witnessed myself.

The Trump administration has now refused three times to criticize Russia for supplying intelligence to Iran on the location and movements of U.S. forces in the Mideast. Trump said last night “I’d guess they’d say we do it against them.” Rep. Eric Swalwell calls it “a stunning ten-year record of failing to condemn Russia.”

Question: Is there any precedent even close for a U.S. President making this much money personally while in office? Fmr WH ethics lawyer Richard W. Painter: “None ever. We've never seen this much money made by U.S. President. We've never seen substantial conflicts of interest for any U.S. President since the Civil War. Financial conflicts of interest. Every other president has voluntarily divested themselves of conflicts of interest with the presidency, except for Donald Trump .”

Jim: Do you believe Democrats should force Trump to testify if you were to retake control of congress this fall? Rep. Dan Goldman: “I can guarantee you, Jim, that we are going to use that exact precedent that Chmn Comer set in completely unreasonably turning the screws on a former president to force him to testify on videotape about things that may be completely unrelated to the investigation, rather than to negotiate in good faith as he's required to do. So if that's the precedent the Republicans are going to set, then we are going to follow that. And if that means that it's the president's kids, if that means it's any cabinet official, if that means it's any qatari prince, and including Donald Trump, you can be sure that we are going to use that same standard.”

As the CIA Director visits Moscow, remember the Russian threat to NATO is not new. It has been waging a widening hybrid war against Europe including drones and infrastructure sabotage. And the Baltic nations have been warning for years they are next after Ukraine.

In a rare interview from inside Iran and behind its internet blackout, Iranian photojournalist Yalda Moaiery tells me U.S. and Israeli attacks have collapsed homes and killed civilians - and describes their calls for the Iranian people to take down the regime “completely nonsense.” Yes, she says, many people still support the war.

Amid CNN reporting that Vladimir Putin has increased security fearing for his safety, I asked Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik if Ukrainian forces threatened his life. Her answer: “Of course. And I think he should be. When you are starting the war, committing all kinds of the war crimes, you should be expecting that at some point this war will come back at you, and the amount of pain and suffering, the amount of killings and stolen children that Putin and his surrounding and Russia have committed in Ukraine gives us all, all the rights to fight back. And this is what we are doing, and we will continue doing that until Russia stops.”
