And if you've got a fringe legal theory, you'll always have an audience in this White House, it seems. Joining me now is someone who knows a whole lot about that cast of characters, Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland. He's the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. It's great to see you, Congressman. I'm just going to start.

The John Eastman of this all, I mean, he is almost the perfect symbol of this notion in Trump's mind that he can basically do whatever he wants. You've kind of followed the guy for a long time. What do you make of his involvement here?

I was talking with the attorney general of New Jersey—and New Jersey is, of course, part of this case—about the fact that the Supreme Court wasn't even asked to rule on the merits of that. What do you make of that?

No question about it. I was reading about today—there seems to be this bill sponsored by Daryl Issa in the House. There's also a companion bill in the Senate that would restrict district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. It seems to have the same objective, to take away this check on power for Donald Trump. It passed the House, I believe. I mean, what do you think of that?

Is that their goal? And it seems to be just kind of a unified effort to take away any checks whatsoever from any branch of government and just give them over to the executive branch.

Nationwide junta is not needed as often as they are with Trump, given all the things he does. Congressman Jamie Raskin, I always love talking to you. Thank you so much. And when we come back, we'll take a quick break. But my favorite headline of today was this in The HuffPost. Most transparent White House in history keeps majority of Trump's remarks secret. There we go.

Turns out the White House isn't posting a whole lot of transcripts of the president's public remarks. If you listen to some of his words salad in the Middle East today, and we're certainly going to talk about it, it's really not hard to see why. We're going to talk about it after a quick break.
