GRIFF JENKINS (FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT): I was going to say, there may be the need for a new kind of lawmaker.

PETE HEGSETH (CO-HOST): Data is a pesky thing too, because what if we start testing more and as a result of more testing we find more positives? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

We just weren't testing. So data can be the type of thing that leaders can also manipulate as we try to get forward and past this.
