that was a bill that was a bipartisan bill, congressman chris smith of new jersey was the lead on the republican side. i worked on it on our side, along with others, and it had a very precise protocol for what to do when an unaccompanied child presented at the border a potential trafficking victim. instead of following that protocol, the prior administration would simply take that child, 11, 12-year-old little girl, and turn her back into mexico, not knowing what would happen to her. now those children that have been in squalid camps for the last year are being addressed pursuant to the traffic victim protection act. it's correct that we have had more children present than we were prepared to deal with. and there was a scramble to take care of those children properly. but it has nothing to do with the farm work modernization act. i listened with some interest to the suggestion that there needs to be a change in the migrant and seasonal agricultural worker protection act provisions of this bill. it currently -- h-2-a employers must comply with the program requirements which largely mee

smith goes to watch," speaking until he collapsed to try to stop a corrupt land deal. in reality it was like trying to block a civil rights billok at this. some years there were zero. in the 1970s through 2000, things got heated up with the end of the talking filibuster, allowing senators to put a silent hold on a bill. still they averaged around 24 a year. things went off the rail this century with 340 under george w. bush and a stunning 632 under barack obama to a whopping 529 in just one trump term. you can't look at that term and say defending the status quo is about defending the tradition. it's a break from tradition. it's become a reflection of obstruction. what are our choices? president biden thinks we should go back to the talking filibuster. some thing we should suspend the filibuster to protect voting rights. as they sensibly say, this kind of simple change would not eliminate filibusters. it would restore their original purpose for the minority to demonstrate when it really cares about something leading to maybe constructive compromises. what a concept. whatever the plan, the filibuster should be needed to restore

smith style filibuster to essentially force senators to put some skin in the game. that can mean, one, fewer filibusters meaning more billssiness since those talking filibusters can last about as long as the senators want them to, in fact, the longest individual senate speech on record, 24 hours and 18 minutes from strom thurmond regarding the 1957 civil rights act. >>> joining me now senator catherine masto. thanks for being on the show. >> good morning. >> we were intrigued the statement calling for this talking filibuster to be implemented, rather, i'm showing you can explain why and whether you think this is the option that is likely to get the most traction inside your party right now because, as you know, many of your colleagues have ruled out, you know, massive filibuster reform overall. >> well, first of all, you just showed a perfect example, the american public when you talk about a filibuster gets it and rightfully so, we should be transparent. if you're going to stand up against any type of legislation the american public should know that you're opposing it and that's what this is about. for the last four year
