------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
First up, Mike Barnicle in for Chris Matthews, what do we do now? Last night, the President gave his big health care speech before a joint session of Congress. Has the President rallied his party to reform? What needs to be done now in order for health care reform to pass? We'll play Hardball with Finance Committee member Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) and ask where health care reform is going and what they think about Congressman Joe Wilson's (R-SC) heckling last night. For more, go to: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32765453/ns/politics-health_care_reform/ Next, the politics of "you lie!" During last night's Presidential address to Congress, Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) heckled the President and interrupted him. Since then, Congressman Wilson's comments have become a rallying cry on both sides of the health care debate. Did Wilson's heckling overwhelm the President's message? Or is it going to unify the Democrats and hurt the Republicans? We'll talk to radio talk show host Cynthia Hardy and Air America's Ron Reagan on how much yelling "you lie" could cost.

The spotlight on South Carolina continues as Governor Mark Sanford (R-SC) is under siege as lawmakers push for him to resign and Congressman Joe Wilson's (R-SC) heckling puts him on the national stage. We'll discuss South Carolina politics with The State's John O'Connor.
