i will wear this proudly. "the five" break-out cable show. at "hannity." greta's next, see you tomorrow night. >> greta: tonight, form oner speaker of the house, newt gingrich, he's been called lazarus rising. can he pull off noorght comeback on this tuesday, super tuesday? and a big move to roll back president obama's contraception rule. the senate going to war. senator lindsay graham goes "on the record." and andrew breitbart dies and we talk about the memories of the conservative commentator from rush limbaugh. former speaker of the house, first, newt gingrich. nice to see you, mr. speaker. >> great to see you. >> greta: well, you didn't beat around the bush today. you said that the president should fire the energy secretary.

why? >> first of all, he's the anti-energy secretary. by his own admission, he wants american prices to be about the european level of $9 or $10 a gallon. he said he had no intention of making gasoline less expensive and the goal was to go to alternatives and cited a battery breakthrough and natural gas, neither of which is available in the near future nor will be available in the near future. trkd he gave himself an a-minus grade, the guy who had a half billion dollars thrown away on solyndra. but it tells that you by his standard, the current gas prices are terrific. they are doingexactly what obama and chu want them to do. they are causing pain, hoping to force them to smaller cars and other vehicles. i think their strategy is to get to $9 or $10 a gallon of gas. >> greta: if that's the

president strategy, why fire him? because he's doing what the president wants snitch the president's now given two speeches in less than a week in which he tries to pretend he's concerned about energy prices. i have a simple test -- fire chu, appoint somebody from the oil industry who knows what they are doing, have them assigned to produce oil in huge quantities and appoint a second person from that background to the department of interior to open up federal land. those two together could lead to a revolution in american energy supply. make us independent of the middle-east and ensure that no future president would bow to a saudi king. that's straight forward. this is a very direct policy. >> greta: let me go to israel and prime minister netanyahu's visiting washington. if you were president, having a private conversation with prime minister netanyahu in the oval office, what would you be saying to him? >> well, first of all, i would

be briefing him on the all-out american effort to replace the government through a variety of nonmilitary mean, using the strategies that president reagan and prime minister thatcher and pope john paul ii used to destroy the soviet union. and i would outline what we're doing to get to a government that you could survive with in iran. secondly, we will share all of our intelligence assets and if at some point, he believes, as the prime minister of israel, that he has noy no choice except to attack iran to avoid a second holocaust, that he would receive support from the united states and that we would certainly understand his desire to make sure that his country was not annihilated. i would also point out that the presidency would communicate publicly with the iranians if they continue to do what they are doing, they should expected to get hit. >> greta: do you think that's what the president's going to say to him next week? >> no. i think this president is incapable of that kind of clear

understanding of who our enemies are and who are friends are. i think the president will beg him to do nothing. >> greta: let me go to afghanistan. what is our goal right now realistically in afghanistan? >> i think it should be to get out. i believe you have had more than enough evidence that a huge number of afghans regard us as enemies that they see us as up oners. you have a karzai regime, which has not apologized for the killing of young americans by afghan soldiers. i think this is a mess. i think the president has embarrassed america by apologizing. you will notice that the were you not unite, his apology's taken as proof of guilt. they are talking about the need punish the americans. this is a totals outrage. this korans had been defaced by radical islamists who were using them to ship messages out of the

prison. if anything, the president should have said, hoe hopes every cleric in afghanistan would condemn those who would deface the koran. we are giving giving in to religious fanatics who areuing this as an excuse to kill americans. i think it's a terrible thing for the president to have done. >> greta: in terms of getting out, getting out really slowly over two years or let's go right now, let's pull up stakes and head home. what would you do? >> i would tell karzai if he does not apologize for the killing of young americans by afghan troops that he should expectitous wave goodbye as fast as possible and we wish him luck in trying to survive because he won't. the karzai regime will not survive f. we pull out precipitously, we should not ask young americans to defend lives for a president who refuses to demdefend them. >> greta: you would call them all home now?

>> no, i would call karzai and say, this is your last moment to have any kind of american support. we are not going to tolerate this fanaticism, killing americans. we expect you a., to apologize, and b.; to help suppress it. >> greta: let me turn to the campaign. the romney campaign super pac has been running an ad, one of the clips quotes you from a 1986 speech in which you're quoted as saying that president reagan is clearly failing. that's a sound bite. i am curious if there is more to the story or not? >> you know... the romney campaign's level of dishonesty is really sad for somebody who wants to be president. everybody who has studied that period knows i was a very loyal ally of president reagan. the ambassador in charge of strategic communications, the highest ranking woman in the white house has written an

article and said these things are total fabrication, they are deliberately taking things out of context. i was on the side of the president, fighting the republican establishment, which did not want him to say, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. the republican establishment did not want him to call the soviet union an evil emscpier wondered why he was so fixatessed on defeating the soviet union. it's sad to watch somebody run for president, with a continuing pattern of dishonesty. >> greta: this is a super pac, which i mean, they're supposed to be a wall between the candidate -- >> come on. have you seen -- have you seen the new york times chart isn't same consulting firm handles the campaign and the super pac? i mean, look at the chart on the new york times. it's an absurdity. i don't see how they think they can get away with tbut common sense will tell every american,

we get it. this is a game. this is them manipulatorring the system. >> greta: most americans don't think there is a separation. but that's just my guess. they are spending $950,000 to air these spots in georgia. but the one thing i am curious, did you say president reagan is clearly failing? was it part of a bigger story? i am trying to put that in context, that particular phrase. >> greta, i gave hundreds of speeches on behalf of ronald reagan. i don't the context in which they took it out. but i do know they have been attacked by fact checkers for being false. i know that the reagan people, tony dolan, his chief speech writer for 8 years thinks this is a disgusting and this is a total fabrication to suggest i was anti-reagan. that ad is dishonest and factually false. if hayhad any sense of decency, they would pull t. but that's their style. that's what they did to santor num michigan. they don't try to build up romney, they try to tear down

the other republicans. it's a very sad way to run for president. >> greta: right now, it's a runaway in georgia -- for you. tuesday's several days off. >> i hope so. that would be good. >> greta: is georgia a do-or-do for you? >> li think georgia is very important to us. i note that they're going to spend another $950,000 here trying to tell people who have none known me for years that i am not the person they know. i am in georgia and will be in several locations. we are doing very, very well. we are well ahead in the polls. it's a little mystifying to me why they think they can come down and try to convince people i am not the person i have been my entire career. >> greta: to be clear, if do you very well on tuesday in georgia, you are still in. if something happens between now -- >> totally? >> if you don't do well, are you out? >> well, i think -- i have said all along, i think each of us

have to carry our own state. romney has to carry michigan. santorum has to carry his state and i have to carry georgia. if the folk who is know you, and you can't win there, you have a lot of credibility at stake. we take georgia very city. il take tennessee very seriously. herman cain and my daughter are there tomorrow. they will be in j.c. watts in oklahoma. on our calculation, georgia is the keystone and it's the biggest number of delegates that are up on super tuesday. >> greta: i have hards you that say that you are running because of your grandchildren, that's one of the reasons. so each candidate has a personal reason. but i am curious, is it at all fun? i mean, it's like, you know, we take swipes as you, the candidates and the super pacs and all the candidates, back and forth. is there any sort of -- is there an excitement and pleasure with it as well?

>> oh, look, it's extraordinary. i mean, you -- you have so many nice people come up to and you say they are praying for you, so many people say they have always wanted to you do something like this. you get to visit fascinating places and see what people are doing that are intriguing and learn all sorts of things that you would never learn in any other experience. it is exhausting and i think it's exhilarating. you know, my dad was a career soldier and honor and duty really mattered to him. have you a wonderful sense of being of service to your country. i can't complain. yeah, it's a rough-and-tumble business. but it's a great honor as a citizen to be allowed to come compot outline an american energy plan. talk about $2.50 a gallon gasoline. and know that you are making an impact on the country and the country that you love might just have a better range of choices because you ran. >> greta: all right. wednesday night, the night after

the super tuesday. you are going to come back here to "on the record"? >> i will certainly try to. i will check with our candc and we will try to do that. okay? i think we are going to be -- in alabama. i think. but if you want me to, for you, greta, i will try? great. weil find a satellite truck to find you. i always like to get you while we're on the air. >> thank you. >> greta: okay. this is raw. senator rick santorum campaign, accusing mitt romney's campaign of rigging the outcome of an election. now, isj does the santorum camp say that? dick morris joins us. how are you? >> very well. how are you, greta? >> greta: there is a lot of retted rick. the rick santorum think they got cheated in michigan. they thought they would get one

at-large delegate. fair or not fair? >> i wouldn't make a big deal out of two delegates there. there are 2400. what happened is, michigan is a proportional representation state. 28 of the delegates get elected by congressional districts. romny and santorum both carried 7, so they get 14 each. there are two at-large delegates. the state committee says it said this would go to the winner, but they wrote a mem ono saying it would be proportional representation. they walked back from the memo and said, we made a mistake. we always planned it to be winner take all and we did. the thing that i am focused on in michigan, though, and i am very serious about it and grossly upset by it is that romney won michigan by a huge margin among the republicans and the independents. it was only that 1 voter out of 10 was a democrat and the democrats voted for santorum 3-1. there were 100,000 democrats who

came out to the polls in michigan who backed santorum. that doesn't happen just by accident that. happens because they were pulled out by the uaw and the democratic party. i will tell you, gret ai am not for romney and i am not for santorum and i am not for gingrich. i am uncommitted. but i will be darned with barack obama is going to tell me who the republican candidate ought to be. if he says that he is for santorum, which is effectively what wee he did because he's easy to beat, i think we should all take account of that. >> greta: the only thing i will say in senator santorum's defense is that he got cheated in iowa. he got iowa, but he didn't get to do the victory speech. i guess, you know, while there may have been mischief as you suggest, democrats voting for santorum, i think it's disheartening to sort of, not a big deal, one delegate. but when you work your heart out and you think you got cheated

and even mike cox, a romney supporter, sated said he thought it wasn't fair to santorum. one delegate, but it's -- you know, it's not fun. >> it's a more important issue here. these proportional representation primary, 54% of the delegates are chosen by proportional representation. 46 are winner take all. if santorum loses almost every single primary in the north, midwest and the west and gingrich and he divide up the south, which i think will probably happen, i think gingrich will win georgia and santorum will win tennessee and oklahoma and romney will win all the other states. but if that happens and romney loses one or two of those northern states, this thing becomes deadlocked. and guto the convention with romney with 100 votes short, 1100 delegates and santorum 400, gingrich, 4 hundred and ron paul, 2 hundred and we have to

wait for september 1 for a nominee. that would be a catast if he felt the best argument i have ever seen for voting for romney -- and i am undecided because i like santorum's issue positions -- it is clear that barack obama and the democratic party are dying to run against santorum and scared to death against running against romney. that's very persuasive to me. >> greta: is there any way that we have said the speaker of the house, newt gingrich fhe wins georgia, does he have wind in his sail? is he back in the game? he hasn't won since south carolina. >> he is back in the game because there is a real chance of this whole thing deadlocking and becoming destructive to the republican party. if he wins georgia, i think he will probably win mississippi. he will probably win alabama. he has a decent shot in louisiana. he has south carolina. me might do very well in north carolina. and that might give him 300 delegates, not enough to win. you need 1144.

but if he gets 3 hundred and paul gets 2 hundred and santorum gets 400, they could block romney from a scmairjt that could kill our chances because we will be fighting over this darn thing until september 1. the convention is late this year. it's august 27. and if we don't get a nominee by may or june, we can kiss our chances against obama goodbye. >> greta: well, it is not going tog to be dull. we have to go. but thank you, dick. >> thank you. >> greta: straight ahead, the senate goes to battle over birth control. senator orrin hatch warning those who vote against a contraception amendment are playing with fire. does hee his colleagues heed the warning? the latest on the big vote. and senator graham goes on the record, that's next. also, grim news from afghanistan. two more american soldiers murder as the koran-burning protest continues. and after president obama said

his apology calmed things down. did it? john bolton is here. and rush limbaugh's memories of the unique commentator, andrew ok, guys-- what's next ? chocolate lemonade ? susie's lemonade... the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets, you can do business at lightning-fast spes. we'll take all the strawberries, dave. you got it, kid. we have a winner. we're definitely gonna need another one. small sinesses that want to grow use 4g lte technology from verizon. i wonder how she does it. that's why she's the boss. because the small business with the best tecology rules. contact the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 1-800-974-6006. oh!

>> a big setback to the president obama cont contraception rule, blocking the blunt amendment to allow employers to opt out of the contraception part of the bill, if they had objection. senator graham is here. >> good evening. >> greta: i'm surprised at the amendment, breaking along party lines. >> we picked up a couple of democrats and maybe lost one republican. the point is that we want women to have contraception available. that's not the issue. but religious organization who is do not want to go down the road that president obama's mandating. every other helt care bill we passed -- the patient bill of right, the other bills we tried to do on the health care front had a religious conscience exception. and the amendment was mirroring what senator kennedy proposed in the patients bill of rights. he wrote the pope about this very issue under some other

legislation and what senator blunt did was basically take senator kennedy's language and try to make it an amendment this. started, not from the obama health care bill, which is a disaster, but from hhs implementing a rule-- writing the rule. the unelected people writing the rule. that's what bothers me. >> yes, ma'am. you are right? >> if they went to hhs to write the rules and -- >> there you go. there you go. you ain't seen nothing yet. the obama health care bill is going to hurt the scme make it hard for private-sector insurance to survive. that's the goal to get it in the government hands. but they won't do it through the legislation itself, but it will be through the rule making-- it out-sourced the people we have no accountability. >> nobody votes. it is important to win the white house. remember the mlrb decision in boeing -- that was an unelected

group of people. it wasn't a statute that unilaterally decided to bring a case against boeing-- you know what? i don't have any sympathy. did you t. you elected officials sent it to hhs. we didn't -- >> what's that? the health care bill. >> i voted against the bill? no, the fact that it goes to the unelected people. that's the procedure. >> we have been try to go change it for years, reining in the ability -- regulation has the same force and effect of law. you agree with na? every regulation that affects the economy should come for our approval of an up-or-down vote. we have been trying to make that change for years. but the power of the unelected bureaucracy with the health care will scare the heck out of you. >> greta: keystone? >> i think president clinton is right about this. i have been to the oil fences. as a matter of fact, you should go up there to alberta, canada? i have driven that. >> i have looked at the place that they extract the product.

the pipeline being built from alberta down to the gulf coast would create 20,000 jobs. it is environmentally sound. and they're going to sell the oil to china if we don't buy it and the environmental objections here, i think are really way off base. president obama has made a huge mistake. what senator schumer said, to lower gas prices here, we should get saudi arabia to pump 2.5 million barrels a day more. my response to senator schumer is that we should be buying oil from canada, as much as we can because they are a friend. we should drill in the gulf coast and extract oil from them. like sarah palin says, that's 3 million barrels a day without more dependence on arab oil. >> greta: egypt, congratulations, we are happy with that. they are safely on their way back -- we have a $5 million

bail to get them out. which is absurd. they are not going back. it is not really bail. are we going to get our $5 million back? >> i am the ranking republican on the appropriations subcommittee that deals with foreign assistance. we will get the money back. the charges against these young americans and their egyptian associates are fabricated, offensive. we are not spies. this is ridiculous. so they are trying to help spread democracy. i am glad we got 'em out? >> greta: i think it was a bribe. i am glad we paid and they got out. but if we give egypt $1 binbillion of aid. -- >> it's about $2 million. aid to the military plus economic-- $2 billion. but will you subtract the $5 million? will we get it back? >> you are talking to the right gism i think we are going to get our money back, maybe with a little bit of interest. it was an outrageous claim. these are groups that work

around the world, rei and ndi to help develop democracies. the muslim brotherhood bears watching. they have a pretty radical past. but they distanced themselves. they said the ngo law that they were prosecuted under was unjust. that's encouraging. >> greta: they held us up, meaning the federal government for $5 million -- >> no. who did that was the judiciary. >> greta: in egypt, the u.s. was held up to the tune of $5 million. >> we will get our money back. but here's the story about egypt. they have a new government, just up and running. this is the law from the mubarak era. the person starting this was an mubarak holdover, the new parliament seemed sensitive to the fact that this was not the way to start the relationship with the united states. >> greta: all right -- >> we will get our money back? senator, thank you. >> you heard it here first? thank you. coming up, president obama claimed his apology over the

>> greta: two more american soldiers gunned down in afghanistan, the latest of six american troops murdered by their afghan partners. they are spiraling out of control since the burning of korans in a u.s. base. even since president obama apologize to the afghan president. so why did he apologize? here's what he told abc news. >> it's a very personal thing for our troops, in terms of the burning of the korans. and you did apologize. >> the reason that it was important is the same reason that the commander on the ground, general allen, apologized. that is to save lives. and to make sure our troops who are there right now are not placed in further danger. >> it's hard to will. do you think it has improved it, with that apology? >> it calmed things down. we are not out of the woods yet. >> greta: did president obama's apology really calm things down? ambassador john bolton is here.

the like that we have continued death, it is hard to think that it calmed things down? >> well, i don't think that any realistic observer could believe that an apology and indeed, not just one apology, but repeated apologies by senior american officials indicates to the afghans anything but weakness. it is an admission of guilt. the whole way this has been conducted, i think has made the situation far worse. but there is a more fundamental problem here. we need to step back from. the reaction to -- to burning a book. okay? a holy book, to be sure. burning a book. was medieval, was reflective of religious fanaticism and of the taliban's ability to exploit the incident. what it shows is that the strategic situation in afghanistan remains very adverse to the united states and the risk of a taliban takeover, as our forces withdraw remains

high. and that's obama's real mistake. apologies -- he apologizes to everybody, that's not a critique. the real critique is that he has no strategic sense foprotect america from the return of risk from terrorism from the taliban. >> greta: all right. so what exactly is our goal that's realistically achievable, in light of the fact that we have seen -- at least i think they are deteriorating in recent months. i mean, what's a realistic goal? >> well, under this administration, the goal is to withdraw as soon as possible. i think it is -- it is foolish, really, dilutional, to speculate about how we can improve things under an administration that is determined to stop combat operations as early as possible and determine to withdraw completely as soon as they can. what the real american strategic interest is, what a real president would be pursuing is the same strategic objective we

had since we overthrough the taliban, making sure they don't return to power in the afghanistan and they or like-minded radicals don't gain power in pakistan and gain control of the nuclear arsenal. those objectives remain valid regardless of this incident, hamid karzai or the rest what have goes on in that country? we have a minute left. our americans got out of egypt t. cost us supposedly $5 million in bail. i think it's ridiculous to call it bail. i think woo -- i think we had a gun to our head. what do you think? >> i think this is a bad agreement. the seven or six americans in our embassy were safe. i think we should have thought of other ways of getting them out. and everybody realizes this is a quid pro quo. this isn't bail. they are never going to return. when the charges are brought to court, they won't be there and the bail will be forfeit. everyone understands it. this was payment for release of the six or seven americans.

and when do you that, for the same reason that at least theoretically we don't negotiate with terrorists, is that when you pay for this kind of thing, you are encouraging more of t. everyone understands that, too. not just in egypt but around the region. it sets a terrible precedent and doesn't solve the problem for the egyptian nationals who work with our programs there, who are still very much in jeopardy. >> greta: senator lindsay graham assured me we will get the $5 million back because it's his committee. ambassador, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> greta: now, is this fair to you and the other taxpayers? last week we learned and reported that you, the taxpayers, paid $50 million in legal fees for fannie and freddie executives. it turns out -- that's wrong. the correct number is $194.4 million. that's what you have had to pay to defend former fannie and freddie executives. do you know why they have

lawyers? they are being investigated for scamming you by cooking the books? and it it gets worse. they have racked up other legal costs, making your grand total almost a half a billion dollars in fees. liz mcdonald is here. liz, do i have the numbers right? is it as bad as i just reported? >> yeah. we checked the government documents and a representative who has -- is charged with overseeing fannie and freddie with his subcommittee in the house. this is called the shang rila for lawyers. the $194 is just since the government took over. the $272 million is for general legal expenses or the fights with banks to put mortgage assets back in the banks. but the number is veering toward a halfhe because the

government officials we are working with to get information is waiting for a year's worth of a document dub. so the big issue is that they both have an unlimited cash pipeline into the u.s. treasur. >> greta: i am not sure the lawyers realize -- i think they are so used to doing it this way, i don't think they get it. in the case of ohio, the attorney general says, i am taking this from your article, he says that fanni owe brings a crowd of 35 to 40 lawyers, costing over $600 per attorney per hour. the numbers are so obscene i. yeah. >> greta: and the congress, which should at least care about what they are doing with the money for oversight, they are doing nothing. it's a constant flow to these giant law firms. i think we should start naming them and demand the bills be put online. >> yeah, you are absolutely right. i agree with that. 100%. and the issue is that, it's

defending accounting scams. it is defending bonuses that were won by engineering accounting scams. it is defending stiewt executives who helped to cause the collapse and insolvency of the two companies. the government is not doing enough to stop this. this is a deal, not just the lawyers and the paralegals. it's expert witnesses called in to defend the bonuses and the actions at a time when these two companies are basically operating on the taxpayers' nickel. the judge was so aghast, he said, i don't think the taxbayers of doing well, but the lawyers are doing well. but the lawyers are getting basically cash advances. in other words, fannie and freddie are giving cash advances to the former executives. then that gives the incent testify rack up the costs. so the argument from fannie and freddie and the government overseer is that our hands are tied, these are contractual

obligations-- you know what? >> that's know the case. a 2008 law says they could void it. >> greta: this is absolute greed that our government won't do anything about. we have a lot more to talk about it. thank you, liz. >> sure. delightd? coming up, there is something you didn't know about the national health care law. it is important. yet, no one is talking about t. yet, no one is talking about t. but we [ rosa ] i'm rosa and i quit smoking with chantix. when the doctor told me that i could smoke for the first wee.. i'm like...yeah, ok... little did i know that one week later i wasn't smoking.

stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, tell your doctor if you have new or worse symptoms. get medical help rightway if you have symptoms of a heart attack. use caution when driving or operati machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. it helps to have people around you... they say, you're much bigger than this. and you are.
