>> in the solyndra scandal, there is news, involving subpoenas that could head to the white house. the battle gets nasty in just a minute. and this is a fox news alert. moments ago, g.o.p. candidate rick santorum releasing tax returns. senator santorum releasing four years of returns, 2007, 2008,

2009 and 2010. that's more than any other g.o.p. candidate has released. former speaker newt gingrich and mitt romney released one year, 2010 returns. and governor romney released an estimate for his 2011 returns. senator santorum decided to release four years because that's the length of a presidential term. senator santorum had been promising to release his returns several weeks bump when he went home to prepare his taxes last month, his young daughter became very ill. senator santorum will be here tomorrow night, "on the record." we will ask him about his tax returns and so much more, tomorrow night, 10:00 p.m. eastern and we will have more in tonight's program. but right now, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich, joins us. good evening. >> good to be with you. >> nice to see you. i have been listening to you over the campaign, saying the place you were going to keep your eyes on, where you were going to pick up the surge was going to be in the state of texas, in that primary that

governor perry had endorsed and you were looking for wind behind your back t. has been announced there have been problems with the date of the priinary, it won't be early april, but late may, perhaps the 29th of may. does that dramatically change your strategy, and is that a blow, sir? >> no. it just means we are going to have to pick up the delegates in late may, just before the california primary, when we hope to pick up more out here o. super tuesday, we are looking at georgia, tennessee, oklahoma, we are looking at ohio. it means the week after super tuesday, we are looking at alabama and mississippi. we have hopes of picking up delegates everywhere and continue this race to go for a long time, i think. with texas moving back, combined with california being in early june, the two biggest states in the country are not deciding and may well be the state who is decide who the nominee is. >> as a practical matter, though, if you could pick up

texas early on, it certainly would be a good for donors. it would be a good incent testify get donors if you picked up 155 delegates? >> look, it's always better to pick them up early if you can. but with governor perry on our side and all the work we are going to be dog in texas, we are pretty confident we can win texas. so when you say, what it will look like at the convention, i think we will have a lot of delegates. our job is to focus on what is practical and not what isn't. we won't affect the state of texas decision. so we have to focus on what we can do. we work on georgia on friday and saturday. we will be in oklahoma on monday. we will be campaigning in tennessee. we will be campaigning in ohio. these are states that are real, they are immediate, they are now. we want to come back and pick up alabama and mississippi. we have a pretty good number of delegates, i think, by the middle of march. >> you didn't mention michigan. michigan's a big state, february

28 and there is a battle right now with senator santorum leading governor mitt romney, whose father was governor in the state and everyone thought that would be a pretty easy win for him. and your thoughts and why aren't you competeing there? >> we are campaigning there. i will be there next week. we have every reason to believe we will be competing there in michigan. have you to break 15%, it's a proportional representation state. i think we will do that. so i think we will pick up delegates in michigan. my prediction is if that mitt romney attacks santorum, as negatively as he attacked me in florida and elsewhere, he will peel votes off santorum, but they will come to me, not to romney. this is the challenge that governor romney has. he really has a three-front contest. he has, you know, congressman ron paul, who has done very, very well in maine and rick santorum, who did very well last week. vidone pretty well against him and i came in second in florida

and in nevada. i came in first in south carolina. and at some point, it's going to sink in to people, if alm governor romney has is negative campaigning, where is his positive message? i have a new message, getting back to $2 or $2.50 a gallon gasoline, how to have a national energy policy, totally positive and designed to solve a major problem. i am going to focus on these very positive messages. >> you mentioned the negative ads. i don't know if you were watching sean hannity's show and they said they asked which candidate was running the most negative ads and governor romney did win that contest at 57%. so i think that -- i -- although, they may he runs the most negative ads because they vote for him because negative ads are very effective? >> they are not voting for him. i think, for example, in maine, a new england state, he ought to be doing good in, he got 39%.

in his home state of michigan, as you pointed out, santorum's now ahead of him. people are looking for a positive leader who has a positive solution on jobs, a positive solution on gasoline and energy. and frankly, somebody who is going to stand up to the obama administration's war against christianity and going to draw a line in the sand and say, we are prepared to fight to defend religious freedom in america, against a radical, secular administration. so i think you have three or four things coming together here where people want positive, issue-oriented leadership. they don't just want spln with a deep pocket and wall street money running negative ads. >> you mentioned gasoline, since the end of 2011, the price of gasoline has gone up 8% and it doesn't hurt the rich. they can pay it. but it really does pinch the middle class and people who don't make -- who are below the middle class line t. can put a -- a thumb on the economy.

if you were president of the united states, tonight, what would you be doing about gas policy? and what would those prices come down? >> well, gasoline was $1.13 a gallon when i was speaker. it was $1.89 when obama was sworn in. it is in california, about 4 today in some places. the fact is, 1; i would sign the keystone pipeline immediately to start canadian oil moving into the united states. 2; i would open up off-shore development off the gulf of mexico and in the trucks we see in alaska. 3; i would open up federal lands. the one great breakthrough has been north north dakota because it's on private land and the liberals have not been able to stop it. if we allowed federal land to be developed, we would have a shocking amount of energy. we would rapidly become independent of the middle-east. no american president would ever bow to a saudi king and we would get gasoline prices to $2 or

$2.50 -- >> when? >> you don't need cafe standards -- >> all right. those are -- those are broad policies that are going to -- i understand that. but people who are going to the gas pump today, they want it down yesterday. and so i am curious i. right. >> is there anything you could do to get them down in the next month, the prices down? because the prices are going up. or is that asking something that can't be done? >> no. look, there is a big futures pricing factor in gasoline and in oil. they are very much affected by the uncertainty of the strait of hormuz and what iran has been doing. if the american president tonight announced he was opening up the gulf of mexico, where we have the rigs available. if he announced we are going to 100% expensing, so people could write off new equipment and open up federal lands, you would see the futures expectation of gasoline prices start to drop tomorrow morning. you would pretty rapidly start

lowering the price of gasoline. it might take up to a year. when reagan deregulated gasoline, which is the first executive order of his presidency, it took about six months for prices to collapse. so i happening if you opened up the market, you would see gas prices starting down pretty dramatically. i think that if people knew that the united states was once again going to become the largest oil & gas producer in the world, you would rapidly see prices accommodate and see prices down at $2.50 or so, which is a stable investment price, occasionally dropping down to as low as $2. but running in the $2 to $2.50 range. >> one quick question. we have a minute left. the accommodation that the president suggested to try to cure the rift with the catholic church on contraception and the health care bill. i assume that you side with the catholic church on this. i mean, that's my assumption. but is there any way to reconcile this, to work this out between the two?

>> no. look -- it's a very straight question here: does the government of the united states have the right to -- to overrule a religious organization and how it deals with its religious circumstances. can the government of the united states dick take whether it's an episcopal, a baftist, greeting orthodox, does the government have the right to dictate to churches? those who believe in america believe we were founded by people fleeing religious persecution to come to america. we think what barack obama is doing is the most secular anti-religious bigotry we have ever seen in a president. i think it is not bridgeable. he has to back down totally and concede that no government can come between man and god. >> not to be too flip. every single catholic hospital, apply to the hospital, has a chapel. i would rename the hospitals a church, and that would be the end of it and then they couldn't touch it. not to be too flip. that's just me.

speaker gingrich, thank you, sir. >> great to be with you. >> senate budget committee member june thym is calling president omobama's budget a fantasy plan. >> good evening, greta. >> you can't call harry reid and the senate budget plan a fantasy, can you? >> phantom. >> phantom! >> doesn't exist. >> on a serious note, you are on the senate budget, you are in the minority on the republican side, what do do you if you haven't put together a budget? >> we hold hearings. >> for what purpose? >> we listen to experts and talk about budgetary matters on the assumption, at some point, somewhere in the distant future we might some day do a budget. it really is. it's a complete sham. >> we called senator harry reid's office office because i wanted to be sure we would be fair to him. the president has put one up and the house has put one up and the

senate has not done it. he says there is no intention to put the president's to the floor and he is satisfy that the budget act last august suffices. >> yeah. well, you know, i -- what the democrats and the senate are doing is following their leader, following the president, in terms of not taking any of these big issues on. at least the president has to put forward a budget. he gives us a budget. it didn't do anything. it doesn't take on the big issues. but it is incomprehensible that the united states congress can spend $3.7 million -- billion -- trillion, thank you very much -- of the people's money every single year and not do a budget, not lay out a plan for how that will be spent -- >> but the law says that the senate's supposed to do it, right? >> it does -- and. >> the senate's not doing it. i am not saying whether it's a good or a bad budget. but the senate is saying no budget. we pay -- you know, we pay to get a budget. >> that's why our budget law needs to be reformed.

>> no! just do the job. >> you do the job. you follow the law. but right now, it's a nonbinding resolution. the president doesn't have to sign it. it is retune -- routinely waived. but the thing that's so incredibly frustrating to those of us who believe we ought to do it and we will get a vote in the senate. we will bring the house budget up and get a vote on the house-passed budget and we will try to get a vote on the president's vote, which last year was defeated 97-0. >> without any budget from the senate, you can't negotiate -- >> right. >> senator harry reid is a pocket veto. he is denying the rest of us the opportunity to fight and argue and debeat and decide what's best. >> including his democrats. maybe what this really spells out the need for a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. so many states have a constitutional requirement to balance the budget every year. we don't have anything like that. right now, we don't have any

leadership. it's incredibly frustrating for someone who does go to the hearings and listen to the great witnesses talk about the need for a budget and for us to get spending under control -- >> how you can sit there -- it would drive me nuts to sit there if it were to no end. >> we continually remind the leadership on the committee that we need to do a budget and we hope they tell do budget. he keeps saying we doll a budget. but this is the fourth year in a row -- and i have only been on the committee a couple of years. but it's useless if we are not going to do any work. >> we only have a minute left, but the president's budget you? don't like that one? >> the president's budget really punted on the major issues. these are serious times we are living in that require serious leadership. we are not getting it. the president is adding $11 trillion to the debt over the course of the next decade. he increases spending 62% and raises taxes $2 trillion. you would think with $2 trillion of tax increases that you would do something to get the debt

under control. >> how do we operate without a budget? continuing resolution? >> probably at some point. the appropriation committees will mark bills, at least at some point, we think, to the number that was agreed to in the budget control act in august. but without a budget, you don't have any -- you don't have any blueprint. you don't have -- >> we have a budget for our show. >> every family has a budget. >> we did our job. we are supposed to be here at 10:00 at night, we are here at 10:00 at night. the senate's supposed to be a steward of the government, a part of it -- >> it's a complete failure of leadership and abdication of the leadership to be good stewards of the people's tax dollars. the house will pass one and we will probably get a vote on it in the senate but it's not going anywhere. >> senator, thank you. nice to see you. >> you too. >> a new and disturbing controversy surrounding whitney houston's funeral. what are her family members fighting over? tell affect the funeral a few days from now? and the white house might want

to brace itself. a subpoena could be headed its way and that's never good news. the latest on solyndra. and maxine waters called a top house republican leaders demons. demons?! why does she say that? hear directly from congresswoman, what she said, coming up.

>> greta: new drama surrounding whitney houston's funeral. reports of problems with the relatives. we have the latest from mike walters. >> nice to see you. >> greta: i understand mike there is an unfortunate family drama that unfolding about the funeral of whitney houston. >> reporter: yeah, greta. they don't want bobby brown there. the problem is, he is the father of whitney's daughter bobby christina and it's become an issue, bobby brown is responsible as the negative driving force behind whitney's spiral in her life but they feel right now he is just going to cause a scene. they feel like it's not the right time or place for bobby brown and his side of the family to be at this funeral especially

since kristina is having such a hard time with the death. >> is bobbi kristina, does she want her father there or not? >> she does want her father around. but he has been absentee father for last three or four years. bobbi has had hard time with drugs and alcohol. the family just wants bobby to be around a minimal amount of time. a funeral for her mother, they think bobby should keep the distance. >> is he going to push the issue and show up? >> i am told he is. even though he has heard through the grapevine the family doesn't want him there, he has the right. he also wants to be there for his daughter. so i am told by his side he is not going to make a scene. i'm told that whitney's family is not going to stop him from

coming in but not make it a huge deal. they are telling him, please don't do it. we would rather not have it done this way. >> greta: any idea how much the estate is like. sometimes they huge amount of money but they have a lot of people who are taking money from them. a lot of people on staff and entourage and offers and money bleeds rather rapidly. was she destitute almost? >> i'm told right now the estate is worth somewhere around $10 million. you are right. in the past, i think about ten years ago, it was that whitney signed the $100 million package deal. this woman had money. reality a lot of the spending when she was married to bobby brown and some of stuff they did with the money, they ended up with a lot less than hundred million dollars. there is a big story and that is

bobbi kristina is about the millionaire in the family. it's like michael jackson, we don't want to think in those terms, michael jackson had a ton of debt but once he died the estate is full of money. bobbi kristina is going to get the money and lots of people bobby brown leaching off that money because their mom and dad were divorced. >> greta: ever since whitney died, people start buy more of her music and that is where the money is coming in, all of a sudden people want her music. >> when she died, i was working on the story, on my car ride home i downloaded her greatest hits. a lot of people are doing that. i'm told by the family their business advisors have told them the estate in the next year will earn between $20-40 million.

it hasn't made that money especially her music in a long time. that is a big chunk of money that a lot of consumers are kind of wanting to give. people want to hear her music. they don't want to think about this tragic situation, they want to hear the good notes she hits on her songs. >> greta: she was in rehab at some point so she was sober. when she was doing the movie sparkle she was sober and doing quite well and then something happened. do we have any information why she fell off the wag open? what happened that she hit the skids? >> you are right about park will. she does a lot of her own singing and it was phenomenal. she was hitting the notes she hit in the past. after most of the initial filming of the movie when they were doing re-shoots she fell

off the wagon. you can't blame everybody else especially if you are an addict a lot of enablers around whitney people she wasn't vetting what kind of personalities, people that were allowing her or pushing her to drink alcohol and go out and party and go to nightclubs and stuff like that. i am told that these enablers had a lot to do with the last two months that she fell off the wagon. i'm told about how bad the wag on on an is. of the two months, she was drinking almost every day. that is a bad thing for somebody who is an addict for such a long time. >> greta: mike, thank you. and i get all my news from tmz so that is where i go for the latest. >> thanks, greta, see ya. >> coming up, anna nicole smith, michael jackson and now whitney

in a probe of whitney houston's death. los angeles coroner has requested subpoenas for medical and pharmacy records. dr. michael baden joins us. i'm curious, if the coroner concluded that she has not died from natural causes, no stroke, it's a bit of mystery as to why she died. >> my understanding would be if it were natural causes, heart attack, high blood pressure, that would be the cause of the death. because it's not natural causes is why they would do further studies and why the toxicology is so important. >> greta: do they actually know why she died? maybe drugs caused her to die but do they know why she died? >> there is an issue, did she drown in the bathtub. if she did drown, was drugs

involved in it? they can't get to that --. >> greta: wouldn't they know if the lungs were filled with water she drowned? >> if the lungs were filled with water she drowned. they still wouldn't know that drugs were involved but they didn't say lungs were filled with water. >> greta: i am curious how the examination goes. >> sometimes, 15-15% of the time people can drown without water in the lungs. >> greta: so the records have been subpoenaed. what kind of drugs was she on but there is a little more than that? >> they don't know all the toxicology shows. most of it is probably done by now. but they will check it and recheck it and how it compares with the medications given by

various physicians and whether the police were given all the medications, bottles when she passed away. >> greta: let me ask a question about addicts. if you are an alcoholic or drug addict of some sort and you go into rehab. you come out and you are sober eight to ten months. then all of a sudden you wake up and you have that drink or that drug. does it set it off? are you off to the races at that point? >> it can be. alcohol anonymous says the first drink is going to set it off. it doesn't have to. for some reason they break their abstinence, keeps them going. with drug addicts the problem is if they are in abstinence and drug program and few months later come out and use the same amount of drug as when they went into the program that could be lethal because they lost their

tolerance for the drug. >> greta: you are responsible for putting the drugs and alcohol into your system. i wouldn't hand a gun to a deranged individual to put up to his or her head. i'm trying to think of people hanging around with her that would any way provide to her. it was no secret she had a drug and alcohol problem? >> the problem with high profile cases especially people around enablers. they want the person to feel better. they don't want to call attention that they are sick or having problems. they don't forbid taking alcohol or drugs that they should. the individual is an adult and she can do what she wants to do. the answer to all these questions will come up after the toxicology and the quantityization of the drugs is

determined. >> greta: is there any chance it's not drugs or alcohol? >> there is slight chance. if she had died of certain infection, encephalitis of the brain or myocarditis that can only be picked up by the microscopic slides. that is kind of unusual without a history but it's possible for somebody to have a heart infection or brain and not be recognized until the doctors look at tissue under the microscope. >> greta: dr. baden, thank you n congrs and t white house over the solyndra scandal. taxpayers are still on the hook for half a billion dollars. house republicans say it's time to force obama administration to talk. the latest coming up. plus, what does president obama really talk about while flying on his helicopter. ♪

>> greta: this is a fox news alert. a key endorsement for mitt romney in his must win michigan. fox news is confirming that rick snyder will announce his endorsement of mitt romney. santorum is leading in michigan so the burning question, with the latest endorsement put governor romney back in the lead in michigan. according to the latest poll of michigan voters, senator santorum is leading 35% to 32%. but that is not the only michigan polling tonight. real clear shows wider gap. in that poll leads by 9 points. so how important is this michigan race? senior washington editor rick cline joins us. >> this is ballgame for mitt romney. this is must win state for him. there is no way to explain why he would be okay to losing his

native state and big industrial battleground state. these are the wings voters that determine elections and they are key to mitt romney's argument about elect battle built. if he can't win he'll have a real problem that he would be the best nominee. >> greta: and imagine going in the state of michigan and be against the bailout of auto industry and ask them to vote. >> sha what makes the story so deep and textured. the op-ed let detroit go bankrupt. just on the face a lot of folks in michigan say that is hard to explain especially because the bailout seems to have worked. he has explanations and talks about managed bankruptcy but that is tough headline to get out from behind. that is why he is driving a car in michigan trying to clear up his ties to the auto industry and state of michigan.

>> greta: this endorsement by the governor gives a lot of media attention? >> mitt romney's is not the endorsement he has been racking them up just fine. i don't think it's going to move the needle much. he has two weeks to define the choice, bring it back to economic policy and jobs and the economy, explain his own position on the auto bailout and more than that, really define rick santorum, take the fight to him. he hasn't done it in sustained way. he and his super pac has been after newt gingrich and they will turn the guns on rick santorum. >> should rick santorum win, what does it do for him? >> that will be the huge boost. that will make the nomination wide open. right now mitt romney is the front-runner. if he wins two weeks from yesterday, he will be front-runner going into super tuesday. if rick santorum wins, he won in a state not just a caucus stated he is going into a big important

state and winning in the backyard of the front-runner. you would have to consider him a front-runner as well and you would have two-man race. the. >> greta: texas was a state that speaker gingrich was an important state for him. he expected the primary is being pushed off to the end of may. >> it's important. he has talked about that. it's a big collection of delegates, especially in california, how many delegates in that state. not having that front end of process hurts them, it would give him momentum moving forward. he is coming off lagging peavms. the flip side, that big delegate group is sitting at the end of the process. so its target if he has some losses to stick around for a while. it suggests that this process is going to last a long time. >> greta: who does obama

campaign fear the is most? >> mitt romney is the person. >> greta: why? >> because he can make a strong argument about jobs and economy is the toughest to beat. rick santorum they can beat handedly. >> greta: if the economy trends better does it diminish his campaign better? >> if the economy is better, obama chances are better. there are outside factors, foreign policies, what is going on in syria and iran, gas prices. >> greta: gas prices was an issue for governor romney but the foreign issues are better for the president? >> perhaps, depending on the direction. president does better if the economy does better. that may take away from the key issues that mitt romney has. they are looking at a match-up right now. there is no question in their mind they their rick santorum would be the person to beat the easiest. >> greta: a move that will put

the white house on edge. battle over solyndra, it could reach a boiling point. house panel threatening a subpoena that could happen on friday. why is it so hot? the bankruptcy solar company cost one-half billion dollars and they aren't getting answers from the obama administration. joe stevens joins us. tell me what is going on with this. is the white house coming up with the answer to do what the house wants before friday or is this subpoena battle? >> that is what makes it exciting. there is a threat of subpoena battle on friday morning. we don't know what the white house is going to do. they have been cooperative and committee has not found anything that suggests anything is wrong. there is no reason to give them anymore. what we've seen before, a game of brinkmanship. this is one year this week since this committee started the solyndra investigation. repeatedly they had this battle,

the white house and committee demands things and rattle sabers and they reach a compromise a couple times. they subpoenaed documents originally the could committee wasn't getting what they wanted. white house turned over some documents but not all the documents. you have to wait and watch and we'll all find out together. >>reta: is there something specific that the house is looking for from the white house? >> they want to find out how the solyndra loan was restructured. before they went under, it violated the terms of its loan. it almost went under. instead, the administration restructured the loan gave them another chance at life and then they went under. as part of that private investors get ahead of the taxpayers to get repaid. now, the private investors are ahead of the taxpayers for

repayment. the committee says they want to find out how it happened. they need to talk to the people. hands on directly involved and they haven't had that chance yet. >> greta: usually you find this smoking gun in e-mails or written documents. has the white house surrendered all the documents that the committee has asked for? >> white house has surrendered all the documents that the committee needs. we don't know how many documents there are. we don't know what are in the documents we haven't seen yet. the white house says has given everything that is response i have and there is nothing there. >> greta: and subpoena is not going off to the president, it's going to people that work at the white house? >> they have to talk to the guys that do the work at the white house, the office of management and budget. these are the people whose names on the e-mails.
