marshall is a name which really rarely comes up. let me leave you with a sense of george patton, because he was selected by marshall for his position and sustained by marshall, however outrageous his behavior was. i want to ask first of all if there are any guests here this evening for a italian fit -- who are of italian descent, because telling this story may risk their good sensibility and good judgment. but this is george can. think of george had were alive today. he talks to the 45th infantry division on the morning of the invasion of sicily. i know a lot of you fellows are italians, and you are from italian descent, but the reason you will lick those italian to be fighting against is you come from a more fertile and braver blood than they have. you are decided from italian to have the gumption to come to the new world. they are descended from italians who lacked that kind of spirit. you understand me, men? yes, sir. i don't know what social media would do with people like general patton. it concludes with a speaker saying is there any questions?

initiative to help pay and to rebuild europe after world war ii, named for secretary of state george marshall we were to go in the direction of "america first," would that cause the united states to really lose global market opportunities and fall behind? prof. morici: if you are going to hardball people and bully smaller rivals and so forth, i think it really weakens american leadership. the only way you can fix the trouble spots in the world is if you have the support of your allies. sharyl: what do you think changes because president trump did not follow through on his promises the way he stated them? prof. morici: what sadly doesn't change is not a lot changes. we will continue to have a large trade deficit. when it comes down to it, donald trump didn't stand up to china. he let down those workers that voted for him, and i think he's going to be a one-term president because of it. and if he is, i think he is getting everything he deserves, this was his signature issue and he really shouldn't have backed away from it. sharyl: at least one stand against china. u.s. warships have tested the

another one is george marshall. he goes to war as a young captain and is on the staff. pershing is not real happy with the division commander. during a training exercise in late 1917, pershing is just reaming out silver in front of all the staff. marshall takes exception to this and tries to button hole pershing and tried to explain to him the amount of problems that he is facing. when pershing briskly turns away, marshall has the awe dasity to spin him around. all of his frentds saiends said it for you. pershing had great respect for someone who is willing to stand his ground and marshall wanted to be one of the great staff officers of the aef. lastly, there is hunter ligget. he is a large man, well north of 260 pound. pershing is a stickler. he believes that modern war requires quite fit officers. he has worked out a deal with the administration that he gets last say on which officers get to serve in the aef, general officers. all of them have to rotate through france to figure out what's going on with the army and also to get pershing's when ligget shows up he says h

another one is george marshall. marshall goes to war as a young captain in the first division and is on the staff. and pershing is not real happy with the division commander. and during a training exercise pershing is just breathing out. marshall takes exception to this and tries to button hole pershing and try to explain to him the amount of problems that he is facing. when pershing turns around marshall has the audacity to grab him by the arm and spin him around. and tell him forcefully and logically what the problems are. after that incident later that night all of marshall's friends said that's it for you. you'll be back on the first boat to the united states. but in fact, pershing had great respect for someone who is willing to stand his ground and marshall will go on to be one of the great staff officers of the aef. and lastly there is hunter ligett. pershing is a stickler. he believes modern war requires quite fit officers. he has worked out a deal with the administration that he gets last say on which office

george w. bush and leslie marshall syndicated radio host. both fox news contributors.od morning. >> shannon: government funding up slightly over last year. 554.6 million this year. 553.7 million last year. something interesting to note though apparently over five year's time the number of patients to planned parenthood down. they are still getting the same federal and state government money. leslie, is that fair? >> well, yes, it is fair. because when you look at the overall number of people they are helping, over 2.5 million people, and when you also look at the threats to some of those people, whether it's the federal government wanting to reduce medicaid or whether you just look at not just planned parenthood, centers that have closed a number of them throughout the united states, but other clinics that have closed because they don't have proper funding. these are -- these are lower income women predominantly that need somewhere to go for these female health services and not just reproductive health services. >> shannon: there are federally qualified healthcare cent

let's talk about it with leslie marshall, syndicated radio host and fox news contributor, brad blakeman served at deputy assistant to president george w. bush. we know you have to run a tight ship in the white house. is this president contradicting his own advisors and statements about this russia information? >> no, i think he is clarifying it and doing it quickly. what he's saying is that nothing untoward went on with any release of information he gave to the russians, and i can tell you by experience many times presidents will disclose classified information to adversaries as well as allies in an effort to try and get them to do what's in the best interest of the united states or in this case not only the united states but our allies in those affected around the world. there are two things as a lawyer that really are important to me, one is intent and the other is motive. the intent of the leaker was to get this information out in public, in the motive was to hurt the president. this is an anonymous person, and if he really was aggrieved by the top-secret information he alleges the president released to an enemy then why didn't h
