, the farm bill.well, yeah, and i think that there is an ethos in congress right now that assisting those individuals who need help via the food stamp program or wic or school meals is big government and is going to put us into debt. but providing subsidies to large agribusinesses and big corporations is just business as usual. and i think that we're looking at, you know, investing in our youth and investing in our future. and if it doesn't get to you, congressman, from the moral point of view that it's really frankly not okay to have kids like rosie and barbie's kids to the tune of 17 million of them in our nation, well, what about the cost of not doing anything? because the cost of food insecurity, the cost of obesity and malnutrition is way larger on the back end and the health care than it is to get these programs adequately funded and feed kids nutritious foods. >> mariana chilton: if you think about what government is supposed to be doing, it's supposed to create the conditions in which people c

, especially bills like this.t happen here? >> well, yes, i think that's right. the house majority leader eric canton and john boehner fell on their faces on this one. they assumed it was a foregone conclusion this was going to pass, and this was part of a larger pattern. the gop leadership has struggled consistently with their ability to lead and govern. and they are overseeing a house majority caucus that doesn't seem willing to be led. it's not a good combination spelling trouble for the rest of the congress. >> some republicans are saying that democrats initially said they would support the bill then pull that support to embarrass members of the gop. both sides are essentially blaming the other for the failure. let's take a listen. >> what is happening on the floor today was a demonstration of major amateur hour. they didn't get results and they put the blame on somebody else. if we ever came to you when we had the majority and said we didn't pass the bill because we didn't get enough republican votes, well, y

back the bill. host: congressman gutierrez at the hill saturday at a conference exprepressed optimism that they have 218 votes. we know 218 is a passable number in the house. what's the reality over there? >> the preelt is, if you talk -- the reality is, and i have talked to a fair amount of conservatives in the house, they are not for the vote. certainly senator boehner will not bring the bill to the house floor. we have a lot of senators more worried about a primary challenge than a general election. some of these guys have already started to get primary challenges. so the house is going to move very different legislation. now, relatively noncontroversial legislation, and then it is going to get in conference. that's where the rubber hits the road. the problem is that the house, the big sticking point is the path way to zip -- citizenship. the house does not agree with it. speaker john boehner has said he doesn't like the bill. i think we will see both pass legislation. host: if it is not a pathwa

>> bill moyers: let's talk now with sherman alexie. he comes from a long line of people who have lived the consequences of inequality, native americans, the first americans. they were the target of genocide, ethnic cleansing, which for years was the hidden history of america, kept in the closet by the authors and enforcers of white mythology. how do you grapple with such a long denied history? if you are sherman alexie, you face it down with candor and even irreverence, writing poems, novels, and short stories, and even movies. alexie has published 22 books of poetry and fiction, including "the lone ranger and tonto fistfight in heaven," "war dances," and "the absolutely true diary of a part-time indian," a book for young adults and winner of the national book award. his latest work is a collection of short stories, old and new, with the title, "blasphemy." i'll ask him why. he now lives in seattle, like many of his characters who left the reservation for the city, living in between, and traveling across boundaries both real and imagin

this bill is much weaker than the bill that was voted down in 2007. it was on the way to defeat last week until they a desperate claim to throw 20,000 agents at the border and spend a bunch of money, without any thought about how it would work. so, mr. president, i'm concerned about this. i -- i think a lot's at stake. but we -- we know how the situation got here. we know what happened. they voted cloture monday and the majority leader filled the tree. he had, therefore, complete control over any amendment. last time in 2007 there were 47 amendments voted on. this time, nine have been voted on. even if the 35 senator grassley proposed, that would be less than last year. so i -- last time. so i think that we know what's happening. they've managed to get their votes together. the corker-hoeven amendment was able to rescue a bill that was in deep trouble, and now it looks like we're moving on to final vote without a -- without the ability to have amendments because the majority will not agree to allow an open process, as was promised, and allow a number

to the bill. republicans and democrats worked together. senators from both sides of the aisle, including the senate from alabama was over spoken at length about this legislation, had a menace adopted in committee. almost none of the more than 135 amendments adopted by the judiciary committee were adopted in partyline votes. we both democratic and republican amendments but they were all adopted in a bipartisan way. so we should be able to work together to ensure consideration of amendments, and then proceed to a vote and passage without filibusters. the american people want us to vote yes or no, up or down. they don't want us delaying tactics that allow us to say well, maybe we would've been for it, maybe we would've been against it. they expect more. vote yes or no. i hope the senate will return immediately to consideration of amendments to this important bill. i regret tomorrow closure for procedural motion to allow use to begin --.net. the legislation before us is not a partisan piece of legisla

this bill they say is a quote antipublic safety bill and an antilaw enforcement bill. we urge all lawmakers to oppose the final cloture vote today and oppose the bill." madam president, this legislation will not end the lawlessness. i wish it were different, but that's the facts. it does not create a merit-based future flow as has been promised, and it leaves us in a very difficult position. so i feel like that there is no choice for us today, let's vote no on the legislation. it's not going to end the efforts. we're going to have to continue to wrestle with this. the good news is that the house at least initially what i have seen in their work indicates that they're giving a far more prudent approach to it. the first bill that they have produced, i tried to offer as an amendment but did not get brought up, really has an effective effort at improving interior law enforcement. that's the kind of thing we need to be doing. then we can win the confidence of the american people and we can move past this very difficult time in our history. i thank the chair and reserve the
