EXCERPT:

HARLOW: “You talked about school security, I would just note there were armed guards at both Parkland and Uvalde, and still this happen.

HUTCHINSON: “I think that -- I mean, if Congress came into the consensus on that, that's something that can be looked at. And so I'm open to that. Yes.”
