James Lankford: “Lindsey was the chairman of the Budget Committee, and he was…”

“So the president has made a comment that the last thing that he was talking to Lindsey about, actually the night that he died, was the Save America Act. Lindsey and I had talked about this several times. Lindsey was the chairman of the Budget Committee, and he was trying to find a way through reconciliation to get as much of the Save America act as we could. We can't get all of it in the reconciliation process and the rules of reconciliation, but we might could get some. And I know he was talking to all of us about that and his ideas on it.” (12:48–12:56)
