famed beverly hilton hotel where whitney's body was found. they couldn't start to go through the blojsz. they had to wait for a search warrant. they said there were no obvious signs of foul play, no criminal intent. so it is still in the very early stages. there have been a lot of speculation she was maybe found in the bathtub. police have not confirmed any information like that to us. >> gregg: casey stegall, thanks very much. >> heather: in her decade long career, she scored many firsts. she was the first african-american girl to appear on the cover of 17 magazine, that was back in 1981. she sold 170 million records during her lengthy career. a whopping 53 singles made the charts, more than a dozen going to number one. she set the record for the longest stay on top of the charts, "i will always love

maine, we didn't spend any time there. we did much better than expected. >> reporter: overall delegate count puts romney at 123 delegates, next up arizona and michigan and 59 combined delegates on the 28th. 40 more delegates up march 3rd, followed by 419 on super tuesday. a candidate needs 1144 to clinch the nomination. >> heather: long way to go. >> gregg: battle over contraception is still red hot. white house backpeddling on a rule requiring religious institutions to pay for coverage of birth control. new rule shifting responsibility to health insurance companies. some rightous leaders say they are not won over and now calling for the birth control mandate to be scrapped entirely. steve is live in washington with more on this. steve, what is the latest on this controversy? >> president's chief of staff

policy continues to involve needless government intrusion in the intewl governments of religious institutions and threatened coercion of religious people and groups to violate their most deeply held convictions. sarah palin agrees. here is what she had to say. >> basic premise of this is governments mandating to private employers and to insurance companies what they must provide. what gives government the right to tell us what we must consume, what we must purchase, what we must provide to employees. >> reporter: all of this has two opposing camps square off on legislation. >> gregg: steve, live in washington, thanks very much. keep it right here. you can catch chris wallace's entire interview with sarah palin and sit down with chief of

league calling for a peacekeeping force. reporting from across the border in beirut. >> reporter: they are trying to stir things up in syria just like iraq, releasing a video to jihadist websites late on saturday, a message from the chief himself saying the countries around syria, muslims should join the opposition and gouge out what he described as the cancerous regime of assad. he said the opposition could not count on western countries to help. video comes as the activists report that government troops are using weapons as human shields. they also claim 59 children were killed. we can't independently verify that. meanwhile, arab nations spent sunday tried to find ways to

reviving negotiation and including the possibility of other nations. in the united states joe lieberman has joined voices in washington calling for military intervention. it appears that humanitarian aid most desperately needed will take priority even as the violence continues. >> gregg: dominic, thanks. >> heather: deadly weather slamming parts of europe. new video of a massive avalanche. the disaster killing at least nine people. this was in kosovo. rescuers pulled a five-year-old girl alive from the rubble of her home. both her parents and several relatives were killed. child was found under 43 feet of snow. much of northern italy digging out from a blizzard, collapsing roofs and cutting off villages and disrupting flights there.

>> in athens, greece, thousands protesting the cutbacks addressing the debt crisis. hundreds of demonstrators turning violent and clashing with police. >> gregg: you have probably seen that clint eastwood superbowl commercial for chrysler, right? you have probably heard people th saying this is just an ad for president obama. now it's sparking new debate about jobs and economy. the here is a little of it. ♪ >> this country can't be knocked out in one punch. we get right back up again and they are going to here a roar of engines. >> gregg: economist says the ad makes a backward claim. what is wrong with the auto

industry is it failed to create jobs. what is wrong it emphasizes jobs over general growth itself is reason they call employment lagging an indicator. growth doesn't always follow jobs. let's put that question to brenda butner. the whole point of stimulus jobs wouldn't be a lagging indicator. growth would follow jobs, right? >> absolutely. this comes down to really the difference between people who believe you can go in and control the economy or that you should allow the economy to run as it will and that will be more effective. you can go ahead and come in and give money to certain industries and growth will follow. that is not exactly the way it has worked. obama tried that. we haven't seen unemployment come down all that much.

when you target jobs into a certain industry, problem is when you take away the money from that industry, the industry unless it is profitable is going to fall. it has to have profit on its own or it has to have growth on its own or it cannot exist. >> gregg: famous quote from margaret thatcher, eventually with socialism you run out of money. that could be keynesian philosophy. >> you can keep printing machine. >> gregg: but in the auto industry, how does it show you need growth? >> the whole auto industry is wonderful way of looking at this issue. back when ford begin the industry, he created the assembly line. there was a need for unions

there then. unions came in we need to have more time for workers to rest because the assembly line was very grueling work. there was high pay, very little competition from anyone else outside the united states. so it was very, very robust, great industry. but then we had outside competitors come in. decades later and that is when we had very high pay, lots of benefits and it was starting to dig into the pockets of our industry. that is when we started to have problems with employment in the industry and it was starting to need a government boost. that is when again, if you target certain industries because you hope for growth. when you give them jobs, it's not necessarily the way it should go. i think they make a very good point. >> gregg: this commercial could have brought up, but it didn't?

>> that is good extrapolation. right to work states give workers and, it's very controversial, but if you look at the statistics, even though if you look at the statistics, sometimes unemployment may be higher in non-to right to work states but there is lots of ways to cut statistics. for payrolls the growth is higher in these places, there is lot of reason why companies may want to go right to work. it works better for companies. they basically pay a lot. they have more control. >> gregg: brenda, thank you very much. >> heather: trying to think of clint eastwood quote but all i could come up with -- >> we could go on for this for an hour.

>> heather: mitt romney winning the cpac and main caucuses but a new fox news poll there may be more to this story. our political panel explains all that straight ahead. >> gregg: world is mourning the loss of whitney houston. we'll take you live the to the new jersey native hometown church coming up next. >> that is where we're going. we lost a great person. god is in charge of all things. >> she was very sweet person to me. down to earth when i first met her. very sweet person. i'm just saying god bless her. may she rest in peace and her immediate family.

>> gregg: mitt romney winning the cpac straw poll and main caucuses all in the same day. now, new poll he may be benefiting with a split among conservatives. here a brand-new poll. romney is on top, gingrich and santorum neck and neck with second place. doug schoen joins us former pollster and nancy former senior advisor and spokesperson for john mccain. are you surprised that the guy who was so attacked for not being a conservative wins the conservative political action conference and two people who claim they are ardent conservatives didn't? >> you know, not really because i suspect romney put extraordinary resources in to it. he got well under a majority of the vote, gregg. as he did in maine, as well. he is only getting even count

the delegates about 50% of them now. i don't think he has closed the sale yet, not by a long shot either with conservatives or with the broader republican audience. >> gregg: nancy, is there a sense among republicans, we're just not sold here on rick santorum or newt gingrich as being electable? >> i think that really is what we've seen here. i spent time at cpac, if there was any real passion, it was probably for santorum. at the end of the day, mitt romney is winning the electability argument. yes, of course, he is aided and abetted that because he is splitting the vote but that is where the passion, real passion is on the republican side is defeating obama. >> gregg: i want to break this down. is it because republicans feel newt gingrich is too tainted by his past or his to reckless in

his remarks, rick santorum may not just be articulate enough. he doesn't generate the kind of passion that they are looking for? >> i think rick santorum is doing it. if you look per vote, she doing very well. i think he has done extremely well on the debate stage. arguably, while gingrich has rhetorical, i think santorum is the bettor debater. he is not seen as having the same broad appeal has romney does. gingrich, there is a lot you can tag speaker gingrich on. he essentially a creature of washington so it's hard to run against it. >> gregg: doug, i you are the numbers guy. it was put to me by my 16-year-old daughter. dad, if it goes to the convention and nobody has 1144

delegates, then what happens? my response is i don't know. that is why i'm asking you? >> she is asking a good question. what nancy suggests and what i believe is there is chaos on the republican side. while president obama benefits probably short and long term, ultimately the republicans have to come to closure. if they don't have someone which i think 1144 delegates at the convention, it's anyone's guess what will happen. romney will make sorts of deals, try to find a vice president somewhere to try to close the deal, if he can't look for jeb bush, chris christie, governor daniels from indiana all will be in play. what is happening, your daughter has to recognize this, this is all playing into their hands of barack obama. >> gregg: in what regard?

>> in play in the sense that the chaos on the republican side makes president obama who is hitting the right notes with the section notably on the contraception issue, is going up in itself the polls. >> gregg: when you talk about people that jump in late as the presidential candidate? >> precisely correct. >> gregg: jeb bush? >> you could see jeb bush get in. chris christie, absolutely. >> gregg: what do you think of that. >> i understand what is mathematically possible and do think we are not seeing the unanimity that is good for the republican side. but i really think the nominee is going to be from the mix we got. the odds is going to be mitt romney. >> gregg: last time that there was a brokered convention in 1976 for the republicans, it

badly damaged gerald ford. he lost as a result of that. we could be seeing the same thing. >> it certainly would not be good for republicans. best things for republicans for to get a nominee early and to start fighting a general election. on the other hand, in 2008, it did not hurt democrats to have a protracted battle. >> gregg: and 1980 when it badly damaged jimmy carter because ted kennedy challenged. got to leave it there. doug and nancy, thanks for answering my 16-year-old daughter's question. >> heather: she is smart one. >> gregg: she is, she is ten times smarter than i will ever be. >> heather: we are continuing to look back at career of whitney houston. coming up our power panel weighs in on the sad end of the pop superstar and leg electric si

judith miller, author and fox news contributor. and husband list, thanks so much for joining us. we want to get the facts at the very top. everything else is speck laits liags. everything about her being found in the bathtub. that has not been confirmed. pills being discovered, that has not been confirmed. but there is a lot being said. what was your first thought? >> my first thought, liability, my first thought was conrad murray, doctor of michael jackson that was convicted of michael jackson. he was prescribing these pills. if there is one or more doctors involved in this, it's an issue that will be out there. was he is getting xanax, did the doctors know she was mixing the pills with alcohol? what about the cocaine use?

>> heather: unsubstantiated reports pills found and xanax and if you mix that with alcohol and mix it. >> you get in the bathtub. did the doctor know, should the doctor have known that she was taking alcohol and other stuff. >> heather: could be liable. >> and the fact, if the drug reports are true, is that you have a lot of these things, michael jackson or her who have lived through this incredible level of fame. they obviously have a lot of trouble coping with it and they do drugs. i think addiction is a disease. it's not somebody is bad or something like. that my thought is why? what can we do to help these really famous people cope with

association of their fame and inner life. >> how enormously sad i was at the loss. i never met her. like everybody else her in the bodyguard and other movies. when you lose michael jackson or whitney houston. when she actually had lost her voice herself because of the addiction we talked about. i think it's such a tough life the entertainment industry. it does take so many things. she tried so hard three times in rehab and child. >> she was her best friend or her worst enemy. >> heather: i saw a take diane sawyer, asked her, what was the things that troubles you most in your life.

biggest thing you are up against. she said herself. >> it may have a lot of inner turmoil and they have adoring audiences, so the internal self and external self become more apart. >> i think sometimes they self-medicate. >> i cannot imagine. what a tremendous loss, a tremendous talent. >> they are going to do the whole dedication for her breathe. >> we'll be right back and up next we'll talk about pentagon announcing new rules allowing women to serve closer to the front lines. is that a sign of gender equality or a dangerous step o for our military. our power panel weighs in that next. ♪

i'm going to begin with you ellen, you do have bit of experience? >> our military correspondent, second woman to fly the u.s. spy plane and u-2 was more open to combat missions. if a woman wants to serve in a combat mission was right up there with marines, so if women can do that and they choose to do it, why not? >> i agree. firefighter are police, its, if can do. we have four women we all agree on this one. it is gender equality as you said in the beginning. >> except. i've been embedded in afghanistan and iraq. i sent out e-mails, how do you feel about this. it was interesting. it split about 50/50 in part,

you know, we know you are capable. we know you can do it. by the way, we're not talking about combat but being intelligence analysts, but they said, you know until you change human nature. until you say until a guy automatically he has to protect a woman, it's going to affect combat dynamics. there are physical differences between a woman and a man. >> one thing women have is endurance. men physically stronger but women has higher endurance. why not. >> like firefighters you take a test, if you pass the test. if you have the endurance and strength, if you can pass it you are able to do it. have a test. there has to be some kind of exam that women can do. >> when it comes to combat,

there is no military, not the israelis, tried it russians have tried it. almost everyone concludes it does affect combat readiness. >> so what has happened, women are closer to the battlefield. that is already happening. >> 150 women have died in iraq and afghanistan supposedly not close to combat positions. this is modern warfare. this is what it's all about. >> you talk about combat positions, women prevented from serving in armored and special operations forces. >> they can serve at battalion level and intelligence officers and these are other things. >> heather: i know let's go with this. if you spend more time on facebook and twitter, than you

think you should, are you guilty of that? you may not have an excuse. new study found most people actual have less self-control when it came to social media than with sex, drugs or alcohol but the ability to control their desires.

determining the official cause of death. and the toxicology reports would also, of course, shed some light on whether or not illegal drugs, prescription drugs, or alcohol played a role here. the pop icon died at 3:55 local time. that's close to 7:00 p.m. eastern on saturday at the beverly hilton hotel where she was staying in a fourth floor room. tmz is reporting that she was found dead in the bathtub. the cops are not confirming that. hours later, music mogul clive davis holding his annual pregrammy gathering in the very same hotel. some of the biggest names in the biz reacting to her death on the red carpet. >> whitney changed music because you didn't see color anymore. you didn't see black female artist. you just heard this wonderful voice. that's all it was about, the voice and the music. >> whitney's career soared between the mid 80's and the mid 1990's in music and in film. then a very public battle with addiction to heavy drugs and

booze. three stints in rehab. at times, a very violent relationship and marriage to singer bobby brown. that was sort of showcased on a reality show called "being bobby brown" where we also got a glimpse into some of the entertainer's bizarre and erratic behavior. according to some public records, she'd also been in trouble in the past for not paying her taxes. but again, the grammy awards beginning in a few hours' time and the arrivals are going to start happening really any time now on the red carpet at staples center. jennifer hudson, we understand, is doing a tribute. she will be singing "i will always love you" and the publication "hollywood insider" is actually reporting that jennifer hudson at practice today was breaking down at times and had to pause and collect herself at the rehearsal this afternoon. it is going to be a very touching service tonight. heather? >> we certainly hope that bobby

parishioners at new hope baptist church holding a memorial service early this morning in her honor. houston got her start here using the pulpit to showcase her powerful voice. >> many, many years ago when i first joined the church, i saw her sing here. i did not know her but i only saw her sing here once and she was good. she was very good. and it's sad to hear of her passing. >> i'm upset as i'm sure we all are but her and her family have been real legends of newark starting with the sisters and her mom, sissy houston so i'm here to support them during this time of sorrow. >> houston was just 11 years old when she began singing there at that church and we will have a live report on the latest from houston's hometown a little bit later in the show. >> a fox news alert now. the arab league calling for the united nations to help in syria.

11 month uprising leaving more than 5,000 dead. arab league members want to set up a joint peacekeeping force. here's this report from beirut, lebanon. >> al-qaida is trying to stir things up in syria just like it did in iraq releasing video to jihadist web sites late on saturday, a message from the chief himself saying that countries around syria, muslims there, should join the opposition and gouge out what he described as the cancerous regime of president assad. on top of that, he said that the opposition could not count on western countries to help. the video comes as activists in homes report that government troops are using residents as human shields on their tanks and they also claim 59 children have been killed in the past week. we can't independently verify that as the government continues to restrict foreign media access within the country. meanwhile, arab nations spent

sunday trying to find ways of intervention that could include reviving its observers in syria including the possibility of monitoring it. in the united states, however, u.s. senator joe lieberman has blamed voices in washington calling for military intervention. it appears that humanitarian aid most desperately needed is what will take priority. even as the violence continues. >> all right. reporting from beirut, lebanon. a new reaction from lawmakers on capitol hill to the escalating bloodshed in syria. connecticut senator joe lieberman speaking out today saying that the u.s. should be helping the opposition. >> it's time to give weapons to the syrian freedom fighters against assad. the fact is that the russians and the iranians are arming assad. it's not a fair fight now. the rest of the world has to give arms to the syrians, the people so that they can fight

this dictator. >> lieberman going on to say that if the syrian regime falls, it will not be only be the major victory for the people of syria but a great defeat for syria's supporters in iran. >> we are getting new reaction now to an obama administration reversal on that controversial health care mandate. the white house backing off a proposed rule requiring some catholic institutions to pay for coverage of contraceptives. the new rule shifting the responsibility to health care compani companies. some u.s. religious leaders say that's not good enough. they're backing a complete repeal. steve centanni live in washington with more. steve? >> greg, under continued pressure from the catholic bishops, the white house chief of staff defended the president's compromise today. he appeared on "fox news sunday" with chris wallace. >> you didn't expect to get the universal support of the bishops or all catholics. i think that what we have here is a policy that reflects

bringing together of two very important principles in a way that's true to the american tradition and that's what the president is trying to do. >> the president's compromise allows insurance companies to pay for and arrange for birth control for women. not the religious institutions themselves. but the catholic bishops still don't like it. they said in a statement late on friday, the policy continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governance of religious institutions and to threaten government coercion of religious people and groups to violate their most deeply held convictions. republicans are insisting the president's compromise is not enough. >> this issue will not go away until the administration simply backs down. they don't have the authority under the first amendment to the united states constitution to tell someone in this country or some organization in this country what their religious beliefs are. >> this is outrageous. i mean, the bottom line is that you have the federal government now saying we're going to give

you a right and then saying by the way, we're going to tell you how to exercise that right. >> the president shows no signs of backing down even as members of congress consider legislation. without law, this kind of birth control coverage mandate. greg? >> steve centanni in washington. thanks very much. heather? >> and keep it right here on fox to watch more of chris wallace's interview with white house chief of staff jack leu and chris sitting down with an exclusive interview with former alaska governor sarah palin.

said the voters of maine have sent a clear message that it is past time to send an outsider to the white house, a conservative with a lifetime of experience in the private sector. but former alaskan governor sarah palin, the keynote speaker at this weekend's big cpac conference says she isn't sure that governor romney will always air on the side of conservativism. >> i am not convinced and i don't think that the majority of g.o.p. and independent voters are convinced and that is why you don't see romney get over that hump. >> congressman ron paul has concerns about romney's conservative credentials but those concerns also apply to the rest of the field. >> i think he's conservative in some ways and every bit as conservative as the other two. that's my point. you know, i don't think he's less conservative. >> meanwhile, maine's third place finisher, senator rick santorum already thinks he's in a two-man race. >> this is a two person race right now. that's how we're focused on it. if you look at the results from maine, i mean, you know, we didn't spend any time there. we did much better than we

expected. >> the a.p.'s overall delegate count puts romney ahead of the rest of the pack with 123 delegates. next up are arizona and michigan and their 59 combined delegates on the 28th. 40 more delegates are up for grabs on march 3rd followed by 419 on super tuesday. a candidate needs 1,144 to clinch the nomination. greg? >> peter doocy in washington. for the very latest developments on the heated g.o.p. race, you can always check out foxnews.com/politics or keep it right here on the fox newschannel. >> and super tuesday, the next big prize for all the candidates. the republican presidential candidates. and the competition has been whittled down to already four candidates but if the battle for the nomination goes on much longer, will it hurt the eventual nominee or help them out? >> that's right. plus a new report finding the government has spent more than a billion dollars on cell phones for low income americans. really?

are cell phones a necessity? and should taxpayers be footing the bill? >> and violent clashes between protesters and police erupt in greece once again. the new video of the demonstrations and what sparked the chaos up next.

>> welcome back. time for a quick check of the headlines. risky removal of florida under way from that shipwrecked costa concordia. the cruise ship capsizing off the coast of italy nearly a month ago. 17 people killed. 15 others remain missing. greece's prime minister appealing for calm as police clash with violent protesters. more than 100,000 people hitting the streets of athens. demonstrators rallying against proposed new measures forcing budget cuts, tax increases and other measures. the u.s. government is looking into mining information on the internet of all places. u.s. intelligence hoping to use software to sift through sites like facebook and twitter. the information will help them anticipate everything from terrorists attacks to foreign uprisings. >> lot of people accessing social media like that, twitter and facebook on their cell phones and a new report shows

that taxpayers shelled out more than $1.6 billion for cell phones and cell phone bills for millions of low income americans, last year alone raising the question -- are cell phones a necessity in this day and age and if so, should the government pay for them for people who maybe can't afford them? here now, senior business correspondent and anchor of "bulls & bears" brenda buttner is back. thanks for coming back for us. this program, some people may not be aware, started in 1996 and was part of the telecommunications act that was passed then. >> yeah, it was, and actually who's paying for it are people who -- you know, those fees at the bottom of your cell phone bill that you can't figure out why it's adding on $20, this is one of the reasons why, that some of this goes into a general fund that -- and out of that fund. >> the telecommunication companies pay into but obviously, the way they're paying that and contributing to the money is coming out of fees for you and i. >> exactly. >> yeah. so we are paying for it

essentially and it -- it's been a hugely successful in the sense that there are lots of subscribers to it. it's doubled. it's gone, you know, to $1.6 billion from less than, you know, from $766 million, i think, last -- two years ago. so people are really finding out about it. the question is, you know, do they really, you know, is this a necessity? and should we be paying for it? >> what's the purpose to begin with? to basically no one is left behind? >> basically, you know, the idea is that it's very hard to get a job. you know, where do you go if you need to make a phone call these days? there are no -- there's no more phones at the corner of the street anymore. you need a cell phone in some way to communicate for emergencies, that type of thing. so that was the idea. and it's not like you're getting smartphones or anything like that. these are very rudimentary cell

phones. >> so you're not accessing twitter and facebook and stuff like that. >> no, you're not. they're $10 phones. all you do is call in and out. you don't get any music on them. you don't get anything. it's, you know, you can -- >> paying for the hours, 250 hours or so? >> 250 minutes. >> i use the phone a lot! >> you really like to talk. >> all right! >> yes, but, you know, what we're finding though is that some subscribers are working the system. and they've got two or three phones. >> that's a big problem. >> you know, like any government program, there's really been no initial look at this kind of fraud and they're just starting to look into that. >> so that's what needs to happen. the more checks and balances to the program -- >> yeah. there is a question, why? >> right. ok. thank you very much. we appreciate it, brenda. >> thank you. >> greg? >> do i have good & plenty on my -- ok. i was cheating on our segment coming up about watermelons and you got to wait for this. the g.o.p. race for the white house has come down to four

candidates and they have been slugging it out but could the drag out fight hurt the eventual nominee and the g.o.p. chances at the white house? or help them maybe? one group is slapping some of the world's largest beermakers with a lawsuit for their alcohol problems. can you sue a beer company? come on! our legal panel weighs in. and fans from around the world are mourning the loss of legendary singer whitney houston. we're going to have a live report from where houston first dazzled audiences at a local church. her hometown of newark, new jersey. next. >> this is supposed to be a gala occasion. it's not. not to me. >> that incredible voice and when we first heard her, how we all fell madly in love with her. >> she was one of the greatest singers i ever heard. i called clive davis when i first heard her and i said you have the best singer i've ever heard in my life.

>> there are new claims that a long republican presidential race will hurt the g.o.p.'s chances of taking back the white house. sarah palin addressing those concerns at cpac in washington. here's a bit of what she told the crowd. >> we're hearing now we've all heard from these experts that, we got to name our nominee right now. got to wrap it up. no debate for you. cut it off. we're through! as if competition weakens our nominee. and yet, in america, we believe that competition strengthens us. competition elevates our name! competition will lead us to victory in 2012.

>> governor palin calls it healthy competition. but could a dragged out eventually hurt the republican nominee, whomever it will be. senior editor for the american spectator joins us. one could argue that, john, sarah palin isn't old enough to recall brokered conventions including 1976 and the damage it did to gerald ford. and in 1980 on the democratic side to jimmy carter. >> yes. but we're unlikely to see a brokered convention like that now because primaries have changed everything. there will be enormous pressure to have the republican nominee declared sometime before the convention. look, i think we -- the more recent experiences we have are that competition can, as sarah palin says, indeed help candidates in the fall or at least not hurt them. barack obama and hillary clinton went on through june of 2008 and barack obama, as you know, swept into office not only because of the unpopularity of bush but because he was a better candidate as a result of his matchup with hillary clinton.

>> 1,144 delegates are needed to become the nominee and i'm not sure that because the frontloaded is no longer the case, it's now backloaded states and primaries and caucused and not winner take all anymore. it's more proportioned. i mean, i talked to doug shone earlier today and he seemed to think it's all together possible that the nominee, nobody will get the 1,144. what do you think? >> remember, winner take all is not something that states are allowed to do before super tuesday but they are allowed after super tuesday. so you're going to see more and more states going to winner take all. and i think that the most likely scenario is that someone is going to come close to a majority of delegates, probably by about late may or june. and at that point, the candidates who are opposing that person will have to make a fundamental decision. do i want to fight on and fight on and get the reputation of

being a sore loser or do i want a nice spot at the convention where i can address my followers and, perhaps, build as barry goldwater did in 1960, as ronald reagan did in other venues, build to having a forum for a future presidential run. i think the party pressure given that people, the republican party want to get rid of barack obama as such, there will be enormous pressure for one of the other candidates to pull out and either, perhaps, accept consideration for vice president or live to fight another day. >> what do you make of last tuesday's triple victory by rick santorum? how much did it help him and hurt newt gingrich? >> well, i think it helped rick santorum dramatically because i think now he's probably the spot right behind romney. in other words, if there's a real competition for the republican nomination, it's probably rick santorum who is the leading candidate. look, mitt romney hasn't closed the sale. he's doing pretty well in the race for one job that he's running for which is the

republican nomination but there's a second job that he has which is the leader of the conservative movement. you're running to lead not just republicans but conservatives. he made a significant victory at cpac, he made some momentum with that but he still hasn't closed the sale for a lot of the kfsh actives. one of the examples is at the speech he gave to cpac, he called himself a pretty severe conservative. i don't know of a single conservative that has used that term to describe himself. >> severe as an injury. >> he injured himself with that line. >> i know. probably wishes he had. i want to ask you about the most recent controversy, the president backing down over the health care controversy with the catholic church. he now says that catholic institutions do not have to provide the coverage the insurance companies do. i'm not sure where he gets the legal authority for that. but is the backlash serious? is it costly? or will this blow away?

>> well, the president's announcement on friday at least got this off the front pages. that stopped the bleeding. but the catholic bishops aren't buying the president's explanation most legal analysts aren't buying it. most people who actually care about the issue believe the president is avoiding discussing it rather than actually addressing the fundamental issue of religious liberty and first amendment concerns so i think the president has limited the damage but it's real and it just goes to show how many minefields obamacare has. this is going to be one of dozens of decisions in the next few months and years which the federal government is going to have to decide how much it will control the health care of the people in your audience. >> john, always great to talk to you. thanks so much. >> thanks. >> all right. >> i love her and i loved her music. i knew her as a baby and i know her music. >> it's incredible, i mean, from being a little girl. like a little girl growing up

watching this beautiful, incredible woman who was a girl at the time, too. talking about whitney, man. and i'd be like, oh, i want to dance with somebody. >> it's devastating. i'm still shocked. it will be a long time before i heal from that. >> how will she be remembered? >> she's the greatest voice of all time. >> celebrities from all around the world paying tribute to whitney houston. the pop superstar found dead inside her room at the beverly hilton in los angeles. her death sending shock waves around the world coming only hours before music's biggest showcase, the grammys. her hometown is remembering the girl whose powerful voice carried her to global fame and live for us in newark, new jersey with more. anna, it's hard to believe she's gone. >> it really is.

they're remembering the good things about whitney houston, heather. whitney began her singing career in the junior gospel choir here at the new hope baptist church in newark, new jersey. she was once quoted as saying "gospel put the seed in me, i'm glad this is where i got it first, that its foundation is here." her mother, a famous gospel singer herself has led music programs here and it seems like she kind of it diva in her genetic make-up, if you know what i mean. she, of course, is the cousin of 1960's pop singer dionne warwick, the goddaughter of aretha franklin. clive davis discovered houston at one of her mother's shows. not far from here at a new york city nightclub. reverend al sharpton is remembering houston today. tomorrow morning, he says, at second baptist church in los angeles, i will call for a national prayer for her family and the memory of whitney houston, the morning of the grammys, the world should pause for the memory of a gifted songbird. now, a small makeshift memorial has been set up here outside of

the church as hundreds have packed in for the morning's services. it's been growing as the day goes on and we heard this from pastor joe carter of new hope baptist church today. >> the family shared whitney with the world. but whitney was a mother, a daughter, a sister and that's the focus that we want to keep in front of everyone today. to continue to lift the family up and respect this time of grief. >> and we haven't heard about funeral plans. will they be out in california? will they be here back home in new jersey? we'll keep you posted on that. certainly, a real legend across the country and certainly here in newark, a performing arts school was even named after her and we're told at the beginning of city council meetings every single time, they played the star spangled banner and you know whose rendition they used, whitney houston from super bowl 25 when she was at the pinnacle of her career, heather. >> absolutely, the best ever. heard that a lot today, sends chills all the way down your

spine. thank you very much, hannah, we appreciate it. again, a legendary singer whose voice dazzled the world. unbelievably has died. whitney houston, she was just 48 years old. >> a native-american tribe is now suing some of the world's largest beermakers. they claim the brewers knowingly contributely to alcohol-related problems on a south dakota reservation. the lawsuit also targeting four beer stores close to the reservation saying those stores sold nearly 5 million cans of beer in a town where the population of 12. incredible. let's bring in our legal panel, fox news legal analyst mercedes cohen and lis alise, how can it be illegal or actionable in a civil lawsuit for selling it?

>> can you hear me? >> i hear you now. just great. >> ok, look. beer is legal. how can you sue over the sale of it? >> that's the biggest problem in this lawsuit because, you know, if beer was an illegal substance which it's not then obviously you could sue. the fact that it's legal makes it impossible, i think, for them to be able to bring this suit, gr gregg. >> what about negligence? and mercedes, four stores in the area sold almost five million cans of beer in 2010. mostly to the members of the sioux tribe. they did that knowing that beer is banned on the reservation. does that expose them to negligence and liability? >> i think it does. and frankly, i do agree with lis, i'm going to point out the plaintiff's hand, i'll play the plaintiff's counsel for a moment. essentially what the plaintiffs are going to say is you have to have known that the beer that you're selling is going to be

consumed by a very small population. how can you possibly say with a straight face that you're going to sell $5 million of beers to a dozen individuals and they're not going to smuggle it into the reservation, sell it as bootlegged because as you know and all these stores are aware the reservations near those stores are banned beer. so that's what the plaintiffs are saying. you had to have known that they were going to be doing this activity which is unlawful in the reservation. >> there's a bunch of people screaming at the television set right now. saying what about personal responsibility? >> exactly. exactly. that's exactly where i was going with it, gregg. look, are you going to tell all these beer companies at all of these stores in outlying areas that they can't sell beer because people are going to use beer unwisely? come on! that would apply for almost any product. you can't do that. people have to take responsibility. again, if it were illegal, that would be different but the beer itself is not illegal. so that -- you can't take on that responsibility. >> that happens all the time. >> go ahead. >> this happens all the time. it happened with the tobacco

industry where they -- when they said what they said to the tobacco industry, you have to put warnings because for -- not for centuries but for decades, you're selling a product that causes injury to these individuals. >> ok. >> you did it with smoking amongst teenagers. >> then put warnings on them. >> essentially, what has been done is if you have to have some activism, either in a judiciary or by the legislation to step in and say -- >> americans have to be responsible. we'll have to make you so. >> a lot of those warnings are already on those beer cans and bottles. it says if you're pregnant, surgeon general has determined this could be unhealthy for you. those warnings are already on. so what do you expect people to do? you can't do anything more than that. if you're going to say that -- that a beer or wine is legal, you put the warnings on. that is fine. you warn people and it's up to them to decide whether or not to ingest it. >> well, you know, is there going to be a compromise that's fashioned here? this -- i mean, look, mercedes, you have crafted a lot of settlements in your day as a

lawyer. what happens to this thing? >> sure. >> well, it all depends. it may just come down to is it -- is the cost of defense going to be so exorbitant and there's a whole p.r. name that underlies. there's big names that are being sued. they're saying maybe we should take an easier road and say let's look at the cost of defense and let's fashion some sort of defense. >> that's a slippery slope, isn't it? once you settle with somebody, everybody is going to make the same plan. >> exactly. they're going to have lawsuit after lawsuit. they'll call nuisance value lawsuits where all the companies will be sued and look you paid me $10,000 here and $10,000 there, i want that same amount of money. there's legislation being formed in nebraska, gregg, that would prevent this and say look, you can only sell alcohol at certain places in certain times and that would -- that's probably the mechanism that's going to take place rather than what's going through the federal courts. >> if youal lou this sort of thing to go forward, people will start suing because, you know,

every week they go to stop & shop and buy the mayonnaise loaded chicken salad and it's cloging their arteries, you know? so they're going to sue over that. >> i think it's an excellent point but it really is a numbers game. when you look at foreseeability when you look at this particular case. when you look at that factor, that's where there might be some settlement in it. going through and having the chicken salad at your local store is not necessarily going to bring in a class action like they're trying to do here. >> sure it is! >> but sure it is. >> that could be just as dangerous as somebody with a heart condition or high blood pressure as alcohol so of course it is. i mean, it is that slippery slope. that you say to people wait, the substance is legal but we're not going to let you have it. the government is not going to let you have it, you can't do that. >> i want to say i love the chicken salad at stop & shop. you know. >> so do i! >> i said that because i always buy it there. it's so good and the bologna, too, and the corned beef. >> ok, i'm getting hungry. >> ok.

>> yeah. good to see you both. thanks. >> sounds like someone hasn't had dinner yet. >> i'm hungry as you can tell. >> mayonnaise with chicken salad? not healthy for you. >> what can i tell you? >> valentine's day is right around the corner and we'll tell you about a valentine's day c d card. it is so shocking that it is sparking demands for target and other stores to take it off the shelf. what the controversial card says in just three minutes. emily's just starting out... and on a budget. like a ramen noodle- every-night budget. she thought allstate car insurance was out of her reach. until she heard about the value plan. dollar for dollar, nobody protects you like allstate. dollar for dollar, the best approach to food is tkeep it whole for better nutrition. that's what they do with great grains cereal. they steam and bake the actual whole grain while the otr guy's flake is more processed.

>> ok, really? we're looking at donuts? you know, everybody wants some love on valentine's day. but if you want some extra loving, certain foods can actually help. >> that's right. some snacks can be a big boost to your sex drive and we're not talking about the green m&m's so which treats are, in fact, the best for getting swept off your feet. health & fitness expert sarah tolin joins us all that information for us. >> i'm so impressed that you know this. so really, is there something to this? >> yes, there is. now, i mean, everyone has heard a different food is an aphrodisiac, every -- truffles, chocolate, that's really common. almonds, asparagus, okra but

very few foods have actual medical proof. here today, we'll be talking about foods that have scientific studies showing that they -- >> i want to know what these scientific studies are. >> i want to get involved in these scientific studies. what do we have? >> watermelon. a university of texas at a&m study found this is sort of the viagra of the food world. >> watermelon? >> i'm serious. it increases blood flow that viagra does, and it may even increase libido that viagra may not do. there's no side effects and it's easier to slip someone a watermelon salad than a bottle full of pills. and it cleans out the toxins. you can serve it in a nice salad. >> i do all the time. now you have ceyanne pepper and what else? >> hot peppers in general. these are considered an aphrodisiac by a lot of different countries. there's actual scientific proof behind them. they contain a hot fiery taste and they increase blood flow, heart rate, body temperature

which is very similar to sexual arousal and scientists put two and two together and one will lead to the other. go with something that's hot and spicy. green and red bell peppers won't do the trick. >> the hotter the better. >> exactly. >> it all comes down to blood flow. ok, now the oysters, that's a classic, right? >> it is, and it turns out there's some truth to it. used to be an old wives tale until some chemists in the u.s. and italy really studied it and found there are two compounds in oysters, they're also in clams and mussels that trigger the release of sex hormones in the body. you have to eat them raw. don't fry or grill and i recommend serving them with a little lemon. the scent of lemon also evokes sexual arousal. >> really? >> yeah. >> all right, coffee? >> yes, coffee. so the studies here show that drinking, you know, having a nice little latte as your post valentine's day dinner drink is going to stimulate that part of

your brain that controls sexual arousal. so study was on women and it's more pronounced on people who don't normally drink coffee but i think anyone can benefit because coffee also triggers the release of dopamine which is a feel god chemical. >> we got 30 seconds left. wine goes without saying. >> alcohol does lower sexual inhibition but if you have too much of it, it will be bad for you. >> good & plenty. i want to talk about good & plenty. i love them. >> this is taste. this is scent, not taste. sense of smell is more powerful than sense of taste. it will get women in the mood with cucumbers and it paired with donuts will get men in the mood. >> say that one more time. good and plenty with cucumbers -- >> for women. if you're trying to get your wife in the mood, that's what you do. and then good & plenty with donuts for men. also pumpkin pie works, right? >> yes, but that's a little harder to orchestrate on valentine's day. >> ok. >> with the donuts. >> i thought we had 30 seconds.

now we have a minute 30. i want to delve in a little bit more about the coffee and the wine here. >> as i was saying about the wine, you know, wine definitely lowers sexual inhibitions but if you drink too much of it, it's going to kill the libido. >> right. >> wine like viagra does increases blood flow to the right areas. if you will. and again, it's more -- >> it's all about blood flow, ok? >> you said that about 30 times, i think. yes. >> no! >> the studies are more pronounced on women but men can benefit, too, stay away from beer. it will make you bloat -- >> thank you so much. >> i don't want to bloat. >> appreciate it. >> breaking news to talk about. >> we have some breaking news out of l.a. whitney houston's daughter now out of the hospital. we're going to have more on that coming up. >> that's certainly some good news. what is thishorty? uh, tissues si i'm sick. you don't cough, you d't show defeat. give me your war face! raaah!
