------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
First up, the public opinion on public option! New NBC poll out showing what the American people think of the public option. As Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) admits that he would not vote for any bill the Finance Committee formulated, will the liberal anger boil over due to the concessions the Obama White House has made for "bipartisanship?" We'll have NBC News Political Director and Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd to analyze the implications of the new NBC poll and the course of health care reform. For more on the health care developments, go to: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32461751/ns/politics-white_house/ Next up, public option, not optional? Is President Obama in the midst of a Democratic revolt if the White House abandons the public option? Could this affect the 2010 Congressional Elections? Even 2012? What are the myths and realities for the public option? We'll discuss the status of the public option with Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY).

At town hall meetings, opponents of President Obama's health care plan have appeared with guns at the meetings. What is the statement made by bringing guns to these meetings? We'll play Hardball with Host of "The Ron Show" on Air America, son of former President Ronald Reagan, Ron Reagan and Founder of the Second Amendment Foundation Alan Gottlieb on the right wing anger and the members of the town hall meetings that have come armed.
