"These are extraordinary times."
A simple, but extremely accurate, statement from U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in assessing the unprecedented economic impact of COVID-19.
In an interview with KRLD News, Sen. Cornyn discussed the Texas response to the coronavirus, the possibility of additional stimulus to help in the recovery and whether China can be held accountable for allowing COVID-19 to escape to the rest of the world.
With a key Texas Railroad Commission meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Sen. Cornyn also discussed talk of instituting mandatory production levels in the state's oil and gas industry and whether recent world events are designed to destroy America's status as the globe's leading oil producer.
