WE'RE HERE WITH CNN'S JAKE TAPPER, BROADCASTING FROM

JAKE, NOW, WHILE WE'RE FOCUSING ON COVID 19, WHY IS IT

IMPORTANT, AT THE SAME TIME, TO PAY ATTENTION TO THINGS LIKE

>> WELL, BECAUSE, I MEAN, PRESIDENT TRUMP CONTINUES TO

DISRUPT THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN A WAY THAT A LOT OF EXPERTS FIND

NOT JUST NORM SHATTERING BUT JUST AGAINST THE VERY PRINCIPLE

I MEAN, THE IDEA THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS NOW

INTERVENED TWICE DIRECTLY WITH THE PROSECUTION OF MICHAEL

FLYNN, WHO, OF COURSE, ADMITTED THAT HE LIED, AND BEFORE THAT,

OF COURSE, WITH THE SENTENCING OF ROGER STONE, I MEAN, WE DON'T

SEE THAT SORT OF THING HAPPEN, AND THOSE ARE NORMS.

ONE THING I'VE LEARNED FROM COVERING WASHINGTON FOR SO LONG

IS, WHEN ONE PARTY ERODES A NORM, WHEN THE NEXT PARTY COMES

INTO POWER, THEY CONTINUE RESTORE IT, THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE

TO HAVE THE FACT THAT THAT NORM HAS BEEN ERODED AND NOW THEY CAN

>> Stephen: PRESIDENTS DON'T GIVE POWER BACK.

NOBODY'S GOING TO BECOME PRESIDENT AND SAY, YOU KNOW

WHAT, NOW'S THE TIME TO RETURN POWER TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.

BECAUSE EVERYBODY, OF COURSE, EVERY PRESIDENT THINKS THEY'RE

ACTING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY AND FOR

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND GOOD AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO WHEN YOU SEE PRESIDENT TRUMP DOING THIS FOR FRIENDS OF HIS

LIKE MICHAEL FLYNN OR ROGER STONE, WHAT DOES THAT PORTEND

WHEN, I DON'T KNOW, MICHAEL MOORE BECOMES PRESIDENT IN 15

I MEAN, LIKE, MAYBE THAT'S A BAD EXAMPLE.

>> Stephen: HE IS GOING TO MAKE A SCATHING DOCUMENTARY

MICHAEL MOORE IS GOING TO TEAR HIMSELF A NEW ONE ABOUT THE

FAILURES OF THE MICHAEL MOORE ADMINISTRATION.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE SHOOTING AT YN AND BUT YOU'RE AT HOME,

MY DAD'S A DOCTOR, MY MOM'S A NURSE, SO I TOOK THIS VERY

YOU KNOW, I JUST DIDN'T THINK IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO BE GOING

IN EVERY DAY IF THEY COULD MAKE IT LOOK REASONABLE PROFESSIONAL

SO I COME HERE -- >> Stephen: NO, LOOKS LIKE

I MEAN, THEY HAVE LIGHTS HERE AND AN UNDERLIGHT, AND IT'S

SOMETIMES MY KIDS ARE PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS, SOMETIMES MY WIFE.

SOMETIMES THE DOGS BURST INTO THE ROOM, BUT IT'S OKAY.

YEAH, BUT THAT'S CHARMING WHEN YOU DO IT.

FOR ME, PEOPLE IS, LIKE, WHY IS THERE A DOG BARKING IN THIS

LOOK, WE'VE HAD INCIDENTS OF CORONAVIRUS AT THE CNN NEW YORK

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS IN THE STUDIO, BUT, OBVIOUSLY, CHRIS

NO ONE AT CNN HAS GOTTEN IT AS FAR AS I KNOW.

EARLY ON, A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS TWICE AS STRONG, FIVE

TIMES AS HANDSOME AND 30 TIMES MORE FIT GOT THIS AND WAS

BATTLING IT -- A GUY I KNEW, A VETERAN, SERVED IN AFGHANISTAN,

PROBABLY TEN YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME, HE'S ONE OF THESE -- YOU

KNOW THESE GUYS, YOU MEET THESE VETERANS AND THEY'RE SUPERH

SUPERHEROES, ANYWAY, HE HAD IT, AND HE WAS IN HIS BASEMENT AND

HE WAS MISERABLE AND HE COULD BARELY BREATHE.

I'M, LIKE, IF THIS IS TAKING OUT MY FRIEND MATT LIKE THIS, AND,

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME IF I COME ANYWHERE NEAR THIS?

>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE ONE MORE BREAK.
