the presiding officer: the senator from nebraska. mr. sasse: i ask unanimous consent to suspend the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. sasse: mr. president, i rise to say in public today what i've been discussing with many individual nebraskans over the last 17 days about the me too movement, the important me too movement, about a nation that is accelerating our descent into tribalism, and about our continuing decline here in the senate as a deliberative body. or as a nebraska woman put it to me a few nights ago, what the hell is happening to this country. one thing is that the senate is being swallowed whole by 24-7 news, be -- and that can't be reconciled. doing reality tv and wrestling with long-term fundamental problems are different things. i'm not here tonight is talk about the supreme court confirmation votes that we will probably be taking this weekend. i am here to talk about the nasty process we've been navigating and about the false choices some people claim stand before us, and about where we in the se

i've taken the called from nebraska moms who say just this. we want this not because of our politics, we want this because we believe that girls and boys, women, andmen, daughters and sons are created with dignity and worth. this is not about choosing between believing our daughters and protecting our sons. that choice is false. but you know what my constituents told me in nebraska this weekend this is now about? they think it's about susch they think it's about all of us in this town being addicted to the circus. they don't think many of us are interested in truth. they think we're interested in political instrumentality. they think we're interested in exploiting differences and divisions in america because we're addicted to short-term power, in a city that isn't worthy of much respect. in closing, let me read to you one more note from another nebraska woman this week.

in closing, let me read to you one more note from another nebraska woman this week. quote -- i was angry at yesterday's hearing. this came in last friday, actually. angry that something as important as a conversation about the victimization of a woman at the hands of a man became just another move in the game of partisan chess. but i was also deeply troubled, troubled that the painful memories shared by dr. ford in that hearing, troubled by the painful memories it evoked in women across the country who have suffered sexual violence, troubled by the fact that this violence comes at the hands of men. i'm deeply saddened by this violence committed at the hands of men. i just can't comprehend it. i weep for our sons and for our daughters that this exists in our fallen world. and to those victims for whom yesterday's hearing brought fresh pain, i'm so sorry that a political circus opened these wounds anew. i'm sorry that this abomination of humanity was ever experienced at all. she continues -- senator, i want you to vote to confirm brett kavanaugh, but i also worry that

in nebraska you have excellent, good or needs improvement. south carolina, good, average, below average or unsatisfactory. tell me your thoughts, if you can, succinctly about why you chose those labels and how you're avoiding the discouraging label of failing school, mr. brom stead? >> in our case we had several different conversations with our state board of education and we brought in folks from an assessment perspective in looking at how would we define our particular schools. we were somewhat on some fronts criticized for having like a feeling like it's a positive skewed one, but from our schools they know what excellent is, they know what good is and what we're worried about providing the resources and support for things that needs improvement. we had serious problems about what that would mean for our schools. >> we have a philosophy of the people, by the people and for the people and our report card clearly reflects that. we've held a number of community conversations throughout the state and it's been our stakeholders which have been

we are the saudi arabia of corn in nebraska and that's a big deal. that could mean potential of additional demand for two billion bushels of corn and that will help support our low commodity prices. corn has dropped off from a high of maybe $7 and change just a few years ago down to $3 and change now. it really is hard to make money when it's below $4. so support for that price will really help all of our farmers to be able to break even or be profitable. liz: we are $3.64 right now. it looks strange on the chart but that's the way the decimal points go. this could increase demand by about two billion bushels of corn but you just mentioned being the saudi arabia of corn. west virginia is the saudi arabia of coal. saudi arabia is finding itself in a very tough position lately. it has to diversify. how has or how are you getting nebraska to diversify beyond this perception that you guys are just the cornhusker state? >> yeah, agriculture makes up a little over 20% of our overall state economy but manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, makes up about 13

( laughter ) i know what they're trying to do here. they're trying to charm us with brutal honesty, and i get that. but being honest about something bad doesn't really make it better. the new york commission for tourism unsuccessfully tried that in the 70s with, "i'm not going to lie to you. you're being stabbed." ( laughter ) and neb-- this is true-- they put some real effort into this. because "brand consultants hired by the state found that most consumers don't consider nebraska to be a leisure travel destination." i believe those consultants are with the firm of "no, (bleep), and sherlock." ( cheers and applause ) good. good. turns out a lot of other states

have the tariffs benefited nebraska in any way? couldn't congress step in if lawmakers are fired up about this? mr. bacon: congress needs to take back article one trade authority. we gave it away. articled be zealous for one. i would say tariffs have not helped. that is not the goal. the goal is to fix and balance the unfair trade practices. we've had that. you look at the history of the trade agreements, we were helping countries rebuild. we give them advantages. in the cold war, we wanted to keep them close. do not makeantages sense. we need to renegotiate. we are making progress. i would have done a sequential tariff plan. he is getting results. agreement isa signed. we have an agreement with mexico and canada. we are making progress with the do for what we need to free trade. we are making progress in japan and other countries. china.ot to deal with for every five dollars they export, we send one dollar over there. it is unfair. they devalue their currency. they steal intellectual property. we have to play rough with them. our
