Just Marshall here, welcome back to the Realignment.

This week we're recording on Friday in the afternoon, all about the coronavirus.

Saga won't be joining us because the remote economy that we've all shifted to has made

it so everyone's schedules are super difficult.

We really appreciate you guys sticking with us.

This is a really important conversation.

We have Hudson Senior Fellow Tim Morrison, who is a recent veteran of the Trump administration.

He worked in the National Security Council where he was working on biodefence and counterpolliferation

issues.

So he's exactly the sort of person we'd want to bring into this conversation.

Tim recently testified before the US Senate Committee on small business and entrepreneurship

on the topic of not only the coronavirus but how the actual outbreak affects our economy,

how it affects our society, and how we should really consider how US companies and manufacturing

capacity when it comes to important things like healthcare, when it comes to our actual

Tylenol, a cinnamon, how we actually are able to produce those things, not simply become

reliant on frankly the country where this virus originated from.

It's really a conversation.

Thanks for sticking with us and we'll dive right in.

Tim Morrison, welcome to the realignment.

Well, thank you very much for having me.

So we wanted to bring you on this show.

Actually, there's no we here because I'm the only one testifying with you here.
