here's john berman with the price tag that's sure to set off a mother's day debate. >> reporter: juneaver, carol brady. for everything she does, what do you think mom is worth? how much money do you think your mom deserves? $5? >> reporter: for a more accurate measurement, the website insure.com used government wage figures and identified 14 separate jobs mothers do. 40 hours of child care a week at just under 10 bucks an hour would run more than $20,000 a year. nine hours a week driving at $13 an hour for a taxi, more than six grand. cooking almost 7,000, cleaning almost 5,000. then, how about party planning? 1,500. and someone has to find the kids a replacement private detective could cost $800. add it all up, and insure.com says mom is worth $61,436. now, that's good money, but it doesn't take into account the 77% of mothers who have jobs outside the house. and it also misses the boat on mom because -- >> she's had more of an impact on my life than anyone i can imagine. >> you can't put a dollar figure on what my mother's worth. >> my mom's like, my best friend. >> reporter: no, th

and john berman has what romney said about that today. >> reporter: as he took the stage in a michigan classroom, mitt romney tried to take on the biggest threat to his presidential ambitions, himself. >> a lot of pundits around the nation are saying that i should just stand up and say this whole thing was a mistake. >> reporter: specifically, the massachusetts health care plan he signed into law in 2006 with ted kennedy at his side. it did help deliver insurance to more than 450,000 uninsured people. it also helped paint romney into a political corner. >> i agree with mitt romney. proud of what he accomplished on health care in massachusetts. >> reporter: tough words to take if you want to run in a republican primary. 80% of republicans oppose the president's health care plan. which, like the massachusetts model, penalizes people who do not buy insurance. today, in a breathtakingly scathing editorial, the conservative "wall street journal" said of romney, if he does not change his message, he might as well try to knock off joe biden and get on the obama ticket. but, for those hoping f

you are on with ilan berman. do not believe most of the news that comes out of the as long as the government, but at the same time i want to say that in this country the fact about iran is all distorted and it is all politically motivated. one thing is clear is that nobody has proved that iran has a nuclear weapon or is working toward a nuclear weapon including the american government. really, the problem and the issues about iran is all in the context of political motivation. this gentleman is a very pro- zionist and anti-iran -- guest: that's great. i appreciate the collar and his honesty. i think what is clear here, to be fair, i never said that iran has a nuclear weapon and i never talked about the fact that they have now. you can make a pretty compelling case based on the available evidence from the united nations, the u.s. intelligence community, that iran has a number of elements of its nuclear program that are not necessarily strictly used for civilian energy generation and a large portion of the program

we're joined by tory berman and coming up on a week since the news of sunday night. the broader conversation the world as we know it, america as we know it, in a simple context, how has the president done this week with this news? >> it's been an extraordinary week for him, even going back to what seemed like a low moment when he releases the birth certificate pinned against the wall by a carnival barker. many said why did he have to do that, why now? why this guy making him do that? then the humor he attacks it with at the white house correspondence dinner sort of brings him back. and the strength and intelligence and courage that he shows in the attack of bin laden not carpet bomb but do a precision attack. and then the dignity he showed to the arab world and bin laden in particular by not releasing some gory grotesque photograph which would be spiking the football. many of us calling, including me, we want to see this picture. we want to see this guy dead. that's not what we do, not how i play the game. even though many of you want it, that's not how i'm going to

i think that's what the obama administration has tried to do with the kerry-lugar-berman fund. an effort to give substantial contribution to the civilian developmental aid. there's been talk about cutting that back. it would be a huge mistake. it would just feed the anti-american narrative that is out there that goes something like, "we use pakistan. as soon as we get what we want, we leave them. we abandon them." they used the example of our introducing the sanctions in the early '90s after they claim they helped us evict the soviets. we introduced the sanctions because they were developing nuclear weapons program. but i think civilian aid is very important. can i just say one more thing? let's understand what civilian aid can do and what it cannot do. it cannot buy us hearts and minds in a nation as complicated and as large as pakistan. you don't buy friends. it's not transactional. what you do with assistance is you build prosperous, educated, healthy people. you support a middle class, the technocrats, because they then provide the security that we need in that region. >> s
