jimmy williams is still here.oug holts eakin, one thing in obama's plan, if i understand this right, forgiveness, there a 20-year forgiveness, takes this the heat off payment and puts it off on taxpayers. is that true? >> there is a steady strend trend for steching out period, using income based payments. larry the thing i found mystifying about today's photo op and fighting words, as you point out the house passed a bill. it's a market-based permanent solution. i saves taxpayers as you pointed out $4 billion. it's cheaper for every borrower right now. it's better than the price fixed extension the democrats want. it's basically what the president called for in his own bucket. i know he is fighting with somebody, is he mad at the senate democrats or his own budget? >> that's what he asked. you are right. they are trading off the treasury bond, i understand that. he wants this income-based idea that you mentioned and he wants loan forgiveness, doug. i want to ask you this. let's step back a second a. trillion dolla

msnbc contributor and congressional guru jimmy williams is in charleston, south carolina, on more oft matters to us. explain to us because we've seen a lot of these personal attacks, hard-core ad campaigns, debates with the cardboard cut-outs with nancy pelosi, a lot of drama. why is this election so special and who is looking better than the other one? >> i don't think the special election has any ramifications politically nationwide. it certainly does for south carolina, it certainly does for the low country of south carolina, obviously because this is their, their congressional district. but the problem is, is that it's actually sort of making a mockery of the state of south carolina and that i think is why you have so much people ginned up about this, especially us in the press. frankly, is this, does this change how people vote in the house? the majority in the house? none of that will actually matter. but it does make for a lot of fodder for us to sit around and talk about. you have a disgraced former governor, you have the sister of stephen colbert. both locals running hard, n

but jimmy williams is always about something. so he is in the guest spot today.from his home state of south carolina wearing the williams family crest on his jacket. a nice touch. who do you think will win this race and what do you think will be the decisive voting block? >> anybody that tells you they know who will win this race or thinks they have no clue, i have no idea. it will be really, really close, i think. i went by a couple polling places this morning in downtown charleston. there were more people there than there were during the run-off for the primary on the republican side. so there is more interest this time. we'll have to see what happens. we won't know until later tonight. the polls close at 7:00 p.m. >> we won't know until the polls close? did you really just go there? seriously? >> reporter: you asked me who would win. >> don't you think this is so interesting that this is so close in a republican district with a man who sinned so heavily. i mean, one of these -- >> reporter: we're in a state full of sinners that love redemption so that's okay.

"washington post" deputy national editor, and msnbc contributor jimmy williams.reat to see you both. ann, i want to start with you. much of the talk was about the president's national security speech. do you agree with the white house and it has changed the subject from the irs, from the a.p., from the benghazi controversies and gotten ownership of the ball? >> well, for now. i think it has. i think all of those scandals were probably going to have a life span of a couple weeks as long as new information didn't keep coming out. i think they ran their course. that's not to say they won't reemerge. there will be more hearings, actually probably on all three subjects. i think we'll tip continue to l more about oversight reporters. we'll certainly hear more about the irs and benghazi. there is a lot to being president at any given moments. it could be seeing a tornado or syria which remains a very important priority. i think we're seeing the attention of the camera tilt slightly in one direction but i expect it will tilt back. on to something new that we haven't even

and also what jimmy williams, our democratic strategist mentioned at the end of the interview, sayingt of front of these and get control of the situation is to fire the attorney general. >> honestly i think that's an absurd suggestion. the attorney general has done a superb job. in terms of the a.p. investigation, the attorney general had nothing to do with that, in fact had recused himself from the investigation because he commented on the leaks. to suggest someone who wasn't involved in issuing the subpoena or reviewing the issuing of the subpoena should resign i think is absurd. it's sort of the hyperbolic environment we're in. the real scandal is the irs scandal, which is a bona fide inappropriate and illegal practice. we've seen heads roll and the irs commissioner resigning and there should be other heads roll as we find out who is responsible down the chain of command. but to suggest that the attorney general -- >> you've also called for there to be extensive investigations dating back to the bush administration, correct? >> absolutely. because i think during the bush administra

close game late second, deron williams from downtown and fouled by nate, 60-54 at halftime... way too many points, but the bulls hang in there, noah and jimmye, it was 75-71 nets at the end of three. in the fourth quarter, some new life with nate robinson, that's just sick, 83- 79 nets. but the nets would not let go of that lead, andre blache threw it off the top of the backboard and in. bulls had the ball in the end with a chance to tie. it did not hand out and they lose the game at home 96-92 and it is on to brooklyn for game 7. not enough warm bodies to get the job done, i am afraid. >> my next step is inside the bulls' locker. the guys who came and did a nice job. a good job by them. also brooklyn kept them in the game. they missed 11 free throws that is how the bulls stayed alive but it was too much to overcome, too much flu and heinrich, and gained seven coming up saturday in brooklyn. they're ripping up the basketball court as we speak, getting ready for game two tomorrow night at the uc between the blackhawks and the minnesota wild. hawks working at the united center, unlikely to have ray emery or dave bolland available for the next
