mr. peterson. >> good morning. my name is christopher peterson. i agree with many of the previous comments in support of the business plan. i agree with the previous speaker that hopefully the plan can be done in a way that maximizes the chances of the high-growth scenario being achieved. that said even the baseline scenario requires huge financial commitments. i just want to raise one other issue that potentially further complicates that. if the region is going to be making such huge financial commitments, it's also important that all of the relevant local governments make the appropriate commitments about land uses, close to the caltrain stations. and that will necessarily mean that in many cases the density of development close to these caltrain stations. they need to be substantially increased, parking requirements will have to be reduced. but it really would be a squandered opportunity if the region makes significant investments in a system, but then typical suburban land-use patterns continue to persist around many of these stations. thank y

but you said your peers i mean one of the people that mr peterson the canadian psychology professor is somebody people love the war love to hate so you're. still are you a batman villain i watched the professor as political correctness video and i was just so disappointed. jordan peterson is a clinical psychologist and university professor has risen to fame in recent years the public interest and debate over his ideas peterson challenges political correctness with his views on masculinity and feminism as well as gender ethnicity and identity politics. could be a man born in a woman's body and that's biological but if you're a woman born in a woman's body that socially constructed like really that supposed to be an argument do you think a trans woman is a woman no you overwhelming proportion of people who are in prisons are male now do you want to equalize about just out of curiosity what about bricklayers there are 99 percent male and and when men work longer hours they work more dangerous jobs they're more likely to move peterson has his fans he also talks plenty of criticism earlier

mr. undersecretary. i now recognize chairman peterson for an opening testimony. you waive. i recognize chairman conaway for statements. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for having us to this hearing to help usda to help the farmers and ranchers in rural america in this country, but it is difficult when the chairman has mentioned everything that going on. and the process in the last eight days on the c.r. is shameful. it is one thing for zee gxi jin to use the powers of this body to be using the same good people as leverage because you simply don't like president trump. this committee and the usda is doing the yeoman's work to make sure that rural america is protected and eliminate the uncertainties out there that we can. the way that has been gone about this ccr is now taking these folks to be used as a weapon and shame on or us for having that happen. and we are reducing this body to a terrible state. it is one thing for the colleagues to list the donors of president trump to harass the businesses and hurt them financially, but it is entirely different for this body. this body t

during his last visit to damascus we reasoning really meant with the special envoy mr gere peterson on the terms of reference and rules of procedure of this committee i think clothing and number of principles related to the work of the committee these include one on the whole process should be owned and led by syrians themselves who have the exclusive rights of determining their country's future. without any foreign intervention or interference. so. there must be no prejudice whatsoever to the commencements one of our holding virtually all of the sovereignty independence unity and territorial integrity of the syrian arab republic and 3. no preconditions must be imposed on the committee that's recommendations be prejudged. the committee must be independent of its recommendations must be made in the pendant without interference by any country or party such as the so-called small group that has declared itself the the guardian of the syrian people and has already prejudge the outcome of the committee's work. for no deadlines or timetables must be imposed on the committee each step taken m

mr. chairman i recognize chairman peterson. >> i want to tell members that haven't been here 29 years, some of the history. this was put in place by the republican party in 2010. it was put in place because at that time the republicans thought secretary was using the ccc to help lincoln at the time it was chairman of the senate ag committee in her reelection because there was a disaster an arkansas and the senate would do a disaster bill because she was up for election. what happened? what they did is they put a limitation on bill so he can use the ccc to do it. you guys put in place, not us. well, no what's happened ever since his the appropriation committee waived that provision. they didn't change it but they waved it, okay this time it became an issue. if there was not a single member on this committee, the ag committee that had anything to do with us. period, i've subject to making these accusations of our members were complicit. we were not. i found out this came from the senate, it did not come from the house. this whole brouhaha came out of the senate. whatever it is, my concern abo
