The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Leading off tonight - it's Day 44.
The oil spill has spread to Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Yesterday, BP
announced their new "Cut and Cap" strategy, in response to the failure of "Top
Kill". Will "Cut and Cap" work? Or will another disappointment wash up on the
Gulf coast? Florida Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL), and former New Orleans Port
Authority Chairman Bernard Charbonnet will have the latest on the effects of
BP's strategy.
Next, is it time for a little American ingenuity? Maybe the creative juices
should be flowing instead of oil. Is it time to solicit ideas from the
brightest minds and imaginations on how to shut down this oil spill?
Plus, Israel's commando raid of the humanitarian flotilla has turned into a
diplomatic disaster. The violence that took place on the Turkish ship on Monday
has strained relations with Turkey, and led to the detentions of over 100
activists. We'll get the latest from NBC's Andrea Mitchell from Tel Aviv, and
then Rep. Barney Frank (D- MA) will give us his thoughts on this diplomatic
crisis.
Also, a Politics Updat. Artur Davis's loss in Alabama, Obama speech in
Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon, and why Senator Arlen Specter was on Air Force
One and Sestak wasn't. Joan Walsh of Salon Magazine and Ken Blackwell of the
Family Research Council and author of "The Blueprint" will be join the
discussion.
