Coming up on Hardball

Tonight on Hardball, we continue coverage on the crisis in Egypt. NBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel joins us from Cairo with the latest from the region.

Next—What does the situation in Egypt mean for the U.S.? The Center for American Progress's Brian Katulis and George Washington University's Marc Lynch will tell us about today's bipartisan meeting at the White House. And NBC's Brian Williams will join us with an on-the-scene update on the chaos in Cairo.

Then—This is a critical moment for President Obama and his administration. How are they handling it, and how are Republicans responding? MSNBC Political Analyst Eugene Robinson and the Woodrow Wilson Center's Robin Wright will fill us in. Plus—What is the "birther" movement doing in Arizona? MSNBC Political Analysts David Corn and Howard Fineman will tell us, and if it could affect the 2012 election. Don't miss tonight's show!
