where a senior editor got right to it. >> bell knox was a student at duke when she was outed as an aspiring porn star. knox, went on the website xo jane to explain and started a lar larger discussion about morality, hypocrisy and the skyrocketing cost of college. thanks for being here. >> hi. it's good to be here. >> so let's talk about duke first. what do you think about their three seed in the ncaa tournament? >> it's great? >> can we get back to talking about porn, please? that's the woman who will inevitably win the office pool. she really made the rounds at fox. this morning she was on "good day new york" where at least one of the anchors greg kelly definitely did his homework. >> you look at that in person, i'm a little disturbed because i feel like men who run this industry like young girls, and she looks about 14 in person. she looks like a young girl. >> we've seen some of the clips -- >> that upsets me even more as a parent. >> i'm an adult. i'm 18 years old. and i can make the choice to do what i want with my body. and i stand by that. >> you do look older, actually, in the clips

this is a young lady called belle knox, a duke university student who happens to be a porn star.his is what she told me when she explained why she was doing is this. >> we are in a society where we are so repressed every single day. we're told that sex is bad. we're told not to have sex, we're told not to show our bodies and that's really true for women, and to be in porn and to be able to be naked and be free and have that sexual awe taken me is so incredibly freeing. >> thoughts? >> well, that's a big leap from being free sexually to porn. it's not really the same thing. >> is she massively deluded or not? >> no, she seems sweet, but porn is a hard pill for even me to swallow. i'm not interested in it, i'm not clear on the -- or as well versed as the ins and outs of porns, no pun intended. as people would think i am. i believe it's sexual freedom. i don't think there's any reason to lie or hide anything about yourself sexually. some people just aren't comfortable with it. yeah, i don't know, that's the long way to go. >> she made a point there's a certain hypocrisy. all interne

i watch belle knox's owner porn and there is a variety of it, but in general i enjoyed it.mean she deserved the harassment and i don't think that means that the porn industry needs to end, it just needs to be reformed. if she is trying to pay for tuition, i can't see anything wrong with that. getting up to $1200 a scene, that is big money. if you can make money and rake it in like that i don't see anything wrong with it. >> it's not nothing. you have multiple disagreements with this. when i first saw her face my first impression is my goodness she is so young. you said she is too young to make these decisions. >> she just turned 18. if it's true that she already made 12 films, i question the legality of her shoots. maybe they happened earlier than we suspect. i don't think an 18-year-old should not make a decision other than ordering from a menu. the developing brain takes a while to catch up. $1200 a scene, honey, the porn industry is owned by men. it's not female power. it's not freedom until women own the business. i understand reform but in the meantime women adopting a

belle knox, you won't need college if you do porn because you won't be getting a job, and your not atim, and there's other things you can do, so i don't feel sorry for her. >> she's a very good actress, by the way. >> bob, stop. bob, stop. >> wasn't there a thing, what would your porn name be? we never did that, did we? >> i don't think so. >> so weird we didn't do it on the show. >> mine would be bob beckel. >> dana, you're up. >> well, my "one more thing" kind of -- not interesting to me, but interesting to a lot of people. i don't care about space. i couldn't care less. >> it's so small. >> european commercial space plane is set to have its first flight into space in may. i -- anybody care about this? >> you're dressed like an astronaut. you're from the future like logan's run. >> i am glad that it's more private money that is going to be spent on this and not government money. >> you can walk your dog in space now. that should make you happy. >> put a mask on him or something? >> the poop could fly. >> set your dvrs so you never miss an episode of "the five."
