joining me now is ohio congressman tim ryan.e region in southwestern ohio was one of the 12 communities that were chosen. what will this money do for the community? >> well, it will help coordinate an area in southwest ohio that is between dayton and cincinnati. dayton has a really strong history in aviation going back to the wright brothers. cincinnati has a huge manufacturing base in aerospace, including a ge facility with about 8,000 people. what this will do is this will allow this area of about 27 counties to be designated to qualify for a federal liaison, for example, that will help them basically facilitate their interactions with the federal government. how to pull from different programs. how to build public-private partnerships which are the essence of economic development at the local level. >> we know there's been a tremendous shift from manufacturing to service industries. tell us beyond the manufacturing sector what impact will this investment have? >> when you're talking about manufacturing, you're talking about h

senator tim ryan wants the general out as well. you have had enough. >> yeah. i think it's time. i mean, to me, this is someone -- the most sacred responsibility we have and i just think this is obviously a systemic problem, has been going on since -- all the way back to 2000, but these reports have one coming out since 2005, and i just think, as great as mr. sin second can -- shinseki has been, it's time for a change weapon need a new set of eyes on the problem, someone who can go in and figure out exactly what is wrong with the system, what is wrong if the bureaucracy, and we need someone who can re-establish trust with the veterans of the united states right now. >> but you're quite right to say there are have been other sets of eyes looking at the problem through democratic and republican administrations alike and it's been an ongoing one, and i'm wondering if just changing the chief changes anything. >> if you don't have the trust of the vats in the united states, which i think secretary shinseki is losing more and more every day, it's going to be harder to re-establish what

"politics nation" with the reverend al sharpton starts right now. >> thank you. thanks for tuning in. tonight's lead, the gop declares war on the first lady's help the eating initiative. today house republicans voted for a bill that would mean more salt, more sugar and less fruits and vegetables in our nation's schools lunches. it was a direct assault against changes championed by michelle obama. and the arguments offered up, they were just laughable. >> i would dare say that most of what you had for breakfast this morning would not meet that standard. you would -- you would be sent to detention for what you had this morning. you wasn't served snickers and hamburgers every day. that's not what in my small town up in northwest alabama, that's not what the lunch ladies served every day. >> the breakfast snacks being served this morning here in the room undoubtedly not pass anybody's test. pistachio nuts, pea nuts, crackers. >> let me get this strai

thompson: i'm proud that language that representative tim ryan and i introduced in march, h.r. 4305, the medical evaluation parody for service members act, was included as an amendment in the national defense authorization act. this bipartisan legislation passed the full house this morning. where our military has made great strides to address medical illness, given the challenges in light of the tragic events such as those in fort hood, we must and can do more. today, military recruits must undergo comprehensive physical evaluations, some are surprised or even shocked to hear is currently no similar exam includes to mental competency. it will have a mental assessment. this bill will offer our military to an approach to suicide prevention and detection. i applaud my colleagues to support this amendment and this bill and encourage the senate to take important action on this. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california seek recognition? without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. hahn: mr. speak

ryan, the question becomes what is the political sgrfix? representative timhe si psychiatry world like it and advocates come out against it. why and what is the state of that bill? >> well, look, it's got two problems that some of the mental health groups are opposed to. one is this, any kind of involuntary treatment as tom was talking about, used to be much more common but now is controversial and people who don't like the idea of the government involuntarily committing someone for any reason. that's controversial. the second part, a little less controversial that raised eyebrows, change to the medical privacy laws. once you turn 18 years old, even if you have a long history of mental illness, your medical records are your own business, and the law known as hipaa does not allow your parents to peek into those anymore. so congressman murphy's law would change that and someone with a severe history of mental illness, their parents would be allowed to be updated and continue to get information about their treatments. which, you know, sounds like a reasonable pr
