Coming up on Hardball

Tonight on Hardball—We'll have the latest on the escalating violence in Egypt from NBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel from Cairo. And Former Carter Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski is here to tell us what's in store for Egypt, the Middle East, and the homeland.

Next—A look at some false right-wing claims that President Obama's administration is taking orders Muslim fundamentalists. Media Matters Senior Fellow Eric Boehlert and MSNBC Political Analyst Eugene Robinson will join us.

Then—Donald Rumsfeld's new book hits shelves Tuesday, but it's already stirring up a storm in Washington. Tonight, we'll break down what he's saying about 9/11, Saddam, and Iraq—it might shock you. And President Obama is revving the engine of his campaign machine, visiting Penn State University today and expounding on two flashpoint topics: his Christianity and the country's future. We've got it all for you tonight on Hardball.
