mr. gingrich began his presidential run. the pastor told abc news that real had also to pay gingrich communications full price for gingrich books and dchsd they would then sell. gingrich communications denies that saying they got the books and dvds at cost. a spokeswoman for the pastor later told us the same thing. here's how the pastor was quoted. "my concern was, is there any way we can get these a whole lot cheaper" meaning books and dfsd. he goes on "we couldn't and we didn't." his spokeswoman said that was a mistaken statement. there are other details potentially damaging. real's 2009 tax returns show that real spent 86% of what it took in. 86% on postage and mail service. that is on developing mailing lists and soliciting donations. now, add to that what it paid gingrich communications to run it and other expenses and you've got practically nothing left for what its actual stated mission was. nothing critics say except a mailing list of potential gingrich supporters. that's what they're saying ended up from this organiz

mr. gingrich. basically he's got a charity that was set up allegedly for a charitable purpose but it isn't actually engaging in any charitable activities. instead the main purpose of the charity seems to be fundraising and preparing a mailing list for newt gingrich and paying gingrich communications money and buying books from newt gingrich. so really it's a private benefit. >> what's wrong with them paying, if mr. tyler from gingrich communications was temporarily working for a year or two running real, what's wrong with him earning a salary? >> there's nothing wrong with him earning a salary. but they should have listed on the organization's 990 the fact that gingrich communications was a related entity to real and that they were in fact paying that money to gingrich communications. and neither of those things is included in fact on the 990. knowing and willful misstatements on your 990 is in fact a crime. >> to you is the big issue that this charity, which was about promoting judeo christian val

mr. gingrich would be vacationing, mr. gingrich's spokesman would not say. that was before mr. tted among the guests aboard a luxury cruise ship sailing between greece and turkey with stops on islands like meekenos and rhodes. after the tiffany's thing he never quite could answer does the newt gingrich for president campaign want to spend a whole new campaign day talking about their luxury cruise through the greek islands? no, they do not. and now they don't have to thanks to congressman anthony wiener. the exciting thing about expecting a thank you gift from newt gingrich is that there's always the possibility that it will come in a really fabulous famous light blue box. joining us now is howard fineman. howard, it's great to see you. thanks for being here tonight. >> hi, rachel. >> in terms of the overall republican presidential politics right now, the thing that is still the most important thing is the fate of mitt romney. mitt romney standing alone is the only major candidate who has not committed himself on the paul ryan medicare plan and standing alone as the one candidate

mr. gingrich's a former senior of the house -- a former speaker of the house of representatives.n pakistan, they have ordered an inquiry into the killing of a young man by paramilitary. it took place in karachi, was caught on camera, and the image is being broadcast across the country. >> after weeks of uncertainty, it has been confirmed that the rescheduled bahrain grand prix will not go ahead after all. it was postponing fed during because of political unrest. every one objected when the race was rescheduled for october. >> the organizers have put out a statement this evening saying that they respected the view of the formula one teams association. the governing bodies said the race could take place, be rescheduled for the 13th of october. but logistically, it was not practical. they could not make arrangements. they had already booked india. it was not fair on the fans that had bought tickets. they have already made of light -- made allied -- made outlay in terms of logistics. what the bar any circuit has said is that, in light of reservations, which -- what the bahraini circu

mr. gingrich.show that he was engaged, that he was able to get over these missteps he had. and it's hard to see how he continues beyond just having a platform, which perhaps is what he wanted most of all anyway. >> you know, john, it sounds like the campaign staff almost tried to do an intervention with their candidate, saying to him, okay, you want to be president, you have to get more disciplined, you have to start going to iowa, you have to start raising money. discipline was always the question about newt gingrich. and by the way, something i've heard from a couple of sources, is are you going to listen to us or are mr. and mrs. gingrich going to run this campaign? because there was also a lot of tension with his wife about who's running the candidate's schedule. and so i think they tried this intervention and in the end he wanted to do it his way. >> and rich, you're a veteran of campaigns. it is not uncommon for the staff and the spouse to sometimes have communication issues, strategy differe

mr. gingrich, a former speaker of the house of representatives, is believed to be determined to stay in the race. pakistan's prime minister has ordered an inquiry into the killing of a young man by par military. the shooting which took place in carachi was caught in camera and the footage has been broadcast across the country. the u.n. says the forces loyal to the president of ivory coast are intensifying attacks against communities believed to support the former head of state. the u.n. says troops were attacking villages, killing, wounding, and arresting people. a canadian businessman is being convicted in the united states for helping an islammist plot. a man was found guilty of helping an attempted attack on a danish newspaper which printed cartoons of the prophet muhammud. but they were found not guilty of cooperating with the military group which carried out the mumbai attacks of 2008. the bbc's jane o'brien is in washington and she gave us more details. >> he's being cleared of any direct involvement of the mumbai attacks. these were a series of attacks in 2008 that killed 166 people,

mr. gingrich would forget under his leadership we deregulated all sorts of financial activity.e worst economic crisis since the great depression rivalling it if we hadn't taken steps. here's what he's talking about. do not have an independent consumer bureau, let the federal reserve be in charge of consumer protection. do not do speculation, the position we put legislation on the books last year to be used this year to say that speculators cannot go up and buy oil futures, hold it off the market until the price goes up, and then sell it. we want to put an end to the speculative impact on oil prices, which many believe is at least $20 a barrel. he wants to undo this. he wants to go back to exactly what happened to cause the terrible crisis. so the notion by trying to restrain derivatives, trying to restrain mortgages that shouldn't have been granted, part of this bill says you can't get a mortgage if you are not going to conceivably be able to pay it back. what mr. gingrich says is those policies that led to this terrible economic crisis were okay and let's go back to it. and he

mr. gingrich said he'll be rebooting the campaign on sunday. joining me now is rich galen and gloria borger. rich, how does he even have people to put up a statement on facebook? >> it's probably just about everybody. it's not a funny situation, but who is going to order the car and driver to get him from the airport to the republican jewish coalition speech on sunday? but here's the big issue here is whether or not there is a campaign anymore, and i think that no matter what newt puts on face book, the answer is no. it may take three or four days to wind down to zero. >> there's a republican debate that cnn is doing on monday and i think he says he's still going to that. >> as of this afternoon, he was still planning to go. but look, one of the problems he had, anderson, was that when he went off on this cruise, for the first three or four days, nobody even missed him. nobody was saying where's gingrich? nobody cared. he wasn't out, but that didn't matter to anybody until it became obvious he was on vacation, but i think at the base of all thi
