about theoretical solutions. they exist. they re there. call your congressman. forget what party he s in and just tell him to step up to the plate. dr. michael welner, as always great to talk to you. thank you very much indeed. appreciate your interest. coming up, the 18-year-old college student who s found a novel way to pay her tuition at duke university. she s working her way through college by doing porn. marge: you know, there s a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they re delicious, and a good source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber. from phillips. or how ornate the halls are. tall the building is, it doesn t matter if there are granite statues, or big mahogany desks. when working with an investment firm, what s really important is whether the people behind the desks actually stand behind what they say.
i was asked to pay about $47,000 a year. the breakdown, we ve got it here. this is the duke university breakdown, the estimated cost of attendance for 2013 to 14. tuition and fees, 45,000, room 6,000, board 5,800, books and personal expenses, $3500. estimated coast of attendance $61,000. it is an obscene amount of money it is absurd. that doesn t even reflect how much it actually costs. the plane tickets and books. it s very expensive to go to college. and your family are simply not in a position to meet this kind of cost? it s $60,000 a year. i don t know how many families can afford that. that s a lot of of money. and i m not the only person in my family. my family has other expenses. how many siblings do you have? i have two siblings. you ve taken the position you don t want to talk about your family s reaction to this. i guess it s fair to assume if
there is an off ramp here. we ve got to find it. it can involve real autonomy for crimea. but it has to remain part of the ukraine. but let s cut to the chase for a minute. what this is about is that ukraine was heading out of the soviet orbit in a hurry, out of the russian orbit in a hurry. out of its sphere of influence. and putin became desperate to reel it back in. and the view in the white house is that putin doesn t know his end game yet and that s very worrisome. and his game is to destabilize things. he s doing it quite well but quite dangerously. let s play a clip from john kerry in rome. let s listen to what he had to say today. the ukranian people, we are convinced beyond any doubt whatsoever, want nothing more than the right to determine their own future. and they want to be able to live freely in a safe and prosperous country where they can make the
ground. carl bernstein, here it seems to me is the conundrum here for everyone involved in this. i would imagine many people living in crimea would quite like to be part of russia. i imagine many people in eastern ukraine would quite like to be part of russia. is it not almost inevitable those two things will evolve over time? and if so, is what vladimir putin s doing so wrong? first of all, i don t have a crystal ball. and i think putin doesn t know what s going to happen over time and that s part of the problem. nor do we know what s going to happen over time. with that conversation i m told between the president and putin was about tonight, it was very disputatious over what faried was talk about, arguing over the legitimacy of the government in kiev and whether it had taken over in hooligan manner, street demonstrations and the rest. putin saying they have no legitimacy. president obama saying yes, they do and the russians have to deal with them. final lit president said, look,
saying this is a country you have to be careful with because when they want to dominate they will dominate. piers, part of the problem is what faried has just described that putin has now pushed a great number of ukranian s, particularly those not in the crimea, and not in eastern ukraine, toward the west even more so. they are virulently opposed to russian domination, kind of hatred now from everybody who s reporting there that they have for putin, for the russians. also it s a little bit partly like switzerland s situation. doesn t mean that everybody who is of russian descent any more than people in switzerland of french or italian or german descent. there are swiss who consider themselves swiss just as ukrainians who consider
