The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, the fight over health care continues.
As the debate over health care spreads across the country in Congress' last
week before recess, the rhetoric has reached a new intensity. Groups from both
sides have mobilized in carefully coordinated campaigns. Who's winning this
debate? Has civil discourse disappeared? We'll play Hardball with Congressman
Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) and Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee &
Special Aging Committee Member Bob Corker (R-TN) on the politics of health care
reform.

Next has the GOP gone extreme?
Unleashing rage, the extreme of the GOP has taken front stage at town hall
meetings. With birthers, anti-tax crusaders, and blatant racism, does the
possible embrace of the extreme right by the GOP help or hurt them? We'll
analyze the implications of this marriage with MSNBC Political Analyst Pat
Buchanan and National Correspondent for the New York Observer Joe Conason.

Plus, the road to recovery as shown by the Cash for Clunkers program?
Ford posted its first sales increase in two years due to the government program
Cash for Clunkers program. The program was so successful that it ran out of
funding. The House of Representatives has authorized more funding and the
Senate still needs to agree to the funding. Is Cash for Clunkers the new model
of American recovery? We'll discuss the program with Secretary of
Transportation Ray LaHood.

Finally, in the Politics Fix, Politico's Jonathan Martin and MSNBC Political
Analyst Michael Smerconish will join us to talk the politics of health care,
Congressman Joe Sestak's possible run at the Senate, and the rest of the day's
political events.
