Tonight, the vice president tries to sell Trump's Iran agreement, and here's how that's going.

J.D. Vangis delayed his trip to Switzerland to lead new talks. Plus, Barack Obama's message to the country in his not-so-s subtle shade to his successor as the stars show up to celebrate 44's legacy.

And the DOJ takes aim at reparations by suing the city that became the model.

That's tonight on Laura Coates Live.

Well, my opening statement tonight, President Trump may have an agreement, but he doesn't have a sale.

He doesn't even have a final deal. What he really has is a 60-day negotiation window, a bunch of open questions and furious Republicans accusing him of surrender.

But if you ask me, he didn't think he gave up anything at all.

What have you learned about not just the exercise of power, but the limits on your power as a result of the conflict?

There are no limits.

No, no, not, I haven't learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but, you know, there are no limits. No limit. No, not, I haven't learned that lesson yet.

I know there are, but, you know, there are no limits.

We defeated them totally militarily.

Beginning of conflict, you had talked about you only wanted unconditional surrender.

And well, the MOU doesn't look like unconditional surrender.

Well, it really probably is unconditional surrender. It is? I think so.

Why? Nothing about this agreement suggests unconditional surrender from Iran. They still have missiles,

fastboats, mines. They've shown they can bring a fifth of the world's oil supply to a screeching

halt. A final deal may let them have some version of a civilian nuclear program. It could give

them access to frozen assets and hundreds of billions in reconstruction funds. Trump, he even acknowledged that yesterday.

But look, don't expect him to back off what he said in the past,

even if it's totally different than what he is saying right now,

because that has been his playbook, never give an inch.
