new details from federal prosecutors on that massive crypto collapse as we're coming on the air with u.s. attorneys and the sec rolling out this criminal indictment against a man once compared to a modern day jpmorgan. saying the ftx founder used a crypto hedge fund as his own personal piggy bank, spending what was effectively stolen customer money while lying to investigators and taking billions from investors. we have got our team standing by. also this hour, news just coming in from capitol hill on the january 6th committee. the chairman moving the date now for what's expected to be their last public hearing. why this means you may know about any criminal referrals sooner than you thought. and president biden set to sign the respect for marriage act into law. you'll watch that from the white house in about 30 minutes. and the newest headline in the documents investigation into

former president trump. what congress wants the national archives to do and why the countdown clock is on for that one. good to be with you. joining us now, tom winter outside the southern district office of new york city. garrett haake is with us. along with charles coleman. let's look at what we know as we speak this hour. about these listen, really extraordinary charges. the so-called crypto king now accused of being a fraud who stole and lied to his customers. just regular people. members of the public. for his own gain. facing eight counts tied to conspiracy, money laundering, finance violations and prosecutors are saying this investigation is moving very quickly. as for where sam bankman-fried is, the bahamas, still. they want him extradited. tom, let me start with you in new york. prosecutors say this is their

first public announcement. not going to be their last. >> reporter: that's right. saying this is very much an ongoing investigation. prosecutors saying and i think we can look at the court charging documents. very bare bones for what we usually get in this district. just listing on eight charges over a serious charges, of course, but not a lot of detail and that's to be expected at this point. basically an effort to say we think we have enough to move forward with a case against this guy. told the grand jury about a bunch of people now known to them. there are others we're lacking at, but we're making that first step. a couple of questions about time lionel that weem have had today. was this timed in any way to potential congressional testimony by the man now known as sbf through his twitter handle and on memes around the internet. effectively, they say they asked for this arrest warrant last week. that the indictment and charges came forward as late as last wednesday so this is something that's been in the works for a

while. i know a question you have, which is where is he and when might he come here and face the 37-degree drop in temperature with a 77 in the bahamas and 40 degrees here in new york city. we know from something damian williams said at the press conference. he thanked the dea's special operations and aviation unit which indicated to me that they've got a jet gassed up and ready to go in the bahamas should the judge there approve his extradition. our colleague at the associated press asked damian williams to compare this type of case and allegations here that you laid out, that billions of dollars were taken from american citizens and investors an used for the types of things potentially like lobbying. like paying for political contributions, for lavish real estate according to the sec. asked about where that ranks in this district. the district that prosecuted

bernie madoff. let's listen. >> i think it's fair to say by anyone's likes, this is one of the biggest financial frauds in american history. >> reporter: so we expect to hear more on top of what we heard from u.s. attorney williams today. the sec filing a civil complaint where they're able to have more libber the i to discuss things they've uncovered. one of the interesting things in this case is how they were able to compare the statements and tweets from sbf with various interviews and what he was ding at the same time. misleading folks, telling them hey, you're okay. we've got money here at the same point in time they were having a liquidity crisis. i asked damian williams about that whether binance which indicated they were -- whether they would be looking at other

entities. he would only say they're very active in the crypto space and based on the reporting of myself and gretchen, that appears to be the case. >> garrett, to you. you heard tom allude to this. this testimony we thought we would be talking about today from the house hearing from sbf. obviously that's not the case as the potential extradition gets ready to go down, we think, potentially, maybe. you've got this testimony instead from a guy who's now in charge of ftx saying this was embezzlement and they don't know where customers' money is and they don't think they'll get all their money back. >> this is the new ceo brought in as a corporate clean up specialist to try to put the books back together and what's left of this company back together. it would have fallen to him any way. ray was the only witness at this hearing today and his testimony was really useful i thought, especially for people for whom

discussion of crypto currency makes their eyes glaze over. just tune out. i think what he indicated today was this was not a crypto specific scandal or failure. this was a good old fashioned business failure. a good old fashioned business scandal. the level of just basic business confidence that was not followed was what got them into this mess. a sampling of his testimony proves that point. >> this one is unusual and it's unusual in the sense that literally you know, there's no recordkeeping whatsoever. the absence of recordkeeping. employees would communicate, invoicing and expenses, on slack. they used quick books. multibillion dollar company using quick books. >> quick books? >> quick books. >> so really a picture pointed of just a complete failure of corporate governance, oversight, best business practices across

the board of this company. >> it also didn't seem like lawmakers were happy about what he would have said if he showed up and didn't get this indictment against him. >> that's right. he planned to come in and take some kind of responsibility in the graphic there up on your screen. i'm certainly not trying to get fined, but this is what he had been planning to say had he testified. similar to what he said in other interviews against the advice of counsel. it's really highlighted a debate here in congress that's going to continue into the next congress. what do you do about crypto currency? it raises a specter across. cuts across party lines. the age divisions here in congress. bicameral divisions about how do we get this under control? regulate in such a way that regular investors can trust it and not get duped by companies that might use it as part of a scandal. >> thank you both very much.

let's get some analysis because there's perspective here. when his lawyers say they're exploring legal options, what are those? it doesn't seem like he has millions of them. he's still in bahamas. where does this go? >> i expect his attorneys to try to contest the extradition back to the united states. while i don't think it will be successful, it will be an attempt the buy him some time. it's not a question most likely that whether if he will come home, but the question is just when he will come home to the united states to face these charges. they're going to try their best to delay his extradition. as tom indicated, the indictment itself is bare bones. it's not on its face exposed, it's relatively pedestrian in terms of what it lays out in a level of detail that we're used to seeing of this nature and

magnitude. his attorneys now are fwoipg to be going to be trying to get as many details as possible to try to figure out what they're up against. this is going to be a long fight for them and in some ways, the prosecution may be challenged because there suspect a paper trail. it's important to note the first several counts deal with wire fraud. >> any chance these folks get their money back? >> you know, there is a forfeitture clause that is in the indictment and it had question becomes how much of their money was liquidated or is still liquid in such a way tng be parsed out. but sadly, the magnitude of a case this size, the likelihood they'll get any money back is

slim to none. >> thank you so much. to the hill with a big change in plans just announced by the january 6 committee moving up the timing of their public meeting to less than a week from today. i want to play what we heard from chairman thompson in the last couple of minutes. watch. >> changing the date to the 19th. >> yeah, that's the goal of the committee. we will have a report of the self-at that point on referrals. and we will take that up and basically approve the report for release on the 21st. >> nbc news capitol hill correspondent, julie, is here. this is interesting for a couple of reasons. there has been so much discussion around the potential for criminal referrals and now you have the chairman saying they may announce that earlier than we expected.

second is the this committee has been in large part as we've seen in large part, carefully choreographed their next move. this is the committee that is aware of how they roll out the results here. >> absolutely. when you're talking about the timeline of this, thompson was asked why the change. it could be as simple as speeding up their holiday vacation calendar. he said we looked at our schedule, it appears we can complete our work before this so why not get it to the public as quick as we can. kyle stewart pressing thompson on these referrals. he was referring to that subcommittee that he formed in november led by jamie raskin. that's that meeting we were talking about on sunday night in that subcommittee had to present their findings for who they will issue criminal referrals. and not just to the doj, but maybe the ethics committee. the chair was also asked about that today. this is what we're looking at now, monday, the committee will

meet for that business meeting. apparently at 1:00 p.m., but we know things can change and they will decide who to make those referrals about. remember the group of house republicans including mccarthy who's vying for the speakership gavel snubbed the committee in may when they ignored those subpoenas. will they be referred to the ethics committee? of course that's a political decision for the committee as is potentially referring former president trump or any of his allies, but as you know well, all of this would be just messaging for the department of justice who will really make the decision whether to prosecute and take those on. but again, monday, the date for the referrals. wednesday is when the public will see the report but the committee planning to get out of town on monday. >> live on the hill, thank you very much. coming up, the fed meeting. set to be its seventh rate hike.

we're getting a look at how inflation is doing and a big week for the economy coming up. plus, why a house committee wants the national archives to look into president trump's storage unit. the reporter behind that scoop will join us and we'll take you live to the white house where president biden is set to sign a landmark bill to protect marriage equality later this hour. we've got the preview from our team who's there as you can see the crowd is gathering. in just 60 seconds. stay with us. one minute. in just 60 seconds stay with us one minute ♪ ♪are you ready for me♪ ♪are you ready♪ ♪are you ready♪ first, there's an idea and you do something about it for the first time. then before you know it, you make your first sale it is a life changer... small businesses firsts never stop coming and you have a partner that always puts you first. no way! godaddy. tools and support for every small business first. at bombas, we make the comfiest socks,

marriage for the first time on "meet the press" on nbc. watch. >> what this is all about is a simple proposition. who do you love? who do you love? and will you will loyal to the person you love? and that's what people are finding out is what all marriages at their root are about. >> i want to bring in mike memoli. give us a preview. >> if you see those pictures from the south lawn across the street and behind me here, you'll see one of the larger event that is this white house has put on. especially for a bill signing like this. think of it on the scale of the infrastructure law or the inflation reduction act this summer. this is a moment that the white house wants to celebrate, but it's a celebration in some ways tempered by the fact this was even necessary. this legislation came out of concern for what could happen in the fallout of the dobbs decision which struck down the right for an abortion nationwide

and overturned roe versus wade in the concurring opinion by justice thomas, there was speculation, suggestion, that the supreme court might itself revisit future precedents including the landmark 2013 decision which made marriage equality the law of the land. so what the president is signing into law is important. it is a protection that if such a moment were to happen from the supreme court, all 50 states would have to recognize those marriages which were performed legally in those states which would still recognize same-sex marriage. it also makes clarifications allowing international marriages to go forward. this is also a moment for president biden to tout his record on this issue. that moment in 2012, it really is worth highlighting how important it was. the president now president got ahead of his own colleague, president obama, who had yet to declare his support for same-sex marriage. this event is also going to be one in this they talk about what

still needs to be done. the equality act which would ensure workplace protections for lgbtq individuals. the audience is also interesting here. it will include some of the survivors of the club q shooting. a reminder that lives are still at risk here of lgbtq individuals in this country at the moment. the other interesting here is one of the attendees. senator sinema. this is the first time we believe that she'll speak with president biden, be there in person with him since that decision from her to leave the democratic party. her spokesperson tweeting just a short time ago that she is damn proud of her role in pushing this legislation over the finish line and calling it an example of her independent leadership. so an interesting moment. >> live for us at the white house. we are going to be watching that speech from president biden. those remarks live right here on msnbc as you can see the crowd

getting ready for this. set to begin, set to begin in 12 minutes from now. we'll bring it to you whenever it does actually begin. the house committee setting its sights on president trump's storage unit in florida asking the national archives to look at whether he has any more records there after we found out last week that two documents marked classified were found there. i want to bring in jacqueline. it's good to have you on. what does congresswoman maloney want? is it realistic? >> it might not be realistic as the clock is obviously ticking, but i would have called this a way, an attempt for the house oversight chairwoman to kind of closed the presidential records act loophole. essentially when the grand jury subpoena was issued to trump's legal team last may, it requested any and all documents with classified markings on it to be returned to the federal government by the department of justice and federal prosecutors.

what that misses though is this bigger, wider universe of presidential records. as we've talked about several times over really the past year, the presidential records act does lack an enforcement mechanism, meaning there's really no agency and the fbi and doj have not viewed it as their job to get back and retrieve and recover some of these documents that are just as historic and important potentially as classified information. this is why maloney is now asking for there to be a search kuktded by the archives themselves of this storage facility and other facilities that could have contained others writ large. >> there is obviously an investigation by the justice happening now. there's a nexus as we've seen in the past. will the archives step in on this? >> that's a really smart

question. the archives have deliberately tried to stay away from this entire investigation ever since they referred it over to the department of justice. although there is a feeling among sources i've spoken to about outstanding presidential records and how the archives would ultimately get those back once the department of justice's investigation is concluded. we know the national archives initially did retrieve 15 boxes of documents from mar-a-lago this year so they are actually capable of recovering those. they do, they are allowed to execute such an action. the question is whether or not they're actually going to do it. while there's a live department of justice investigation going on. >> good to have you. . still ahead, we're continuing to keep an eye on the white house. we'll take you there live in a couple of minutes, but we want

to talk about new nbc news reporting on the asylum rules that president biden is apparently thinking about including one policy that looks similar to former president trump's. our team's got the scoop coming up. t trump's. our team's gothe t scoop coming up asthma felt anything but normal. a blood test helped show my asthma is driven by eosinophils, which nucala helps reduce. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your asthma specialist about a nunormal with nucala. i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the streets talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? -i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car, you have the check engine light, but the heart doesn't have a "hey, check heart" sign. i want to show you something. put both fingers right on those pads.

happening here in washington, the fed meeting as we speak trying to figure out the now infamous soft landing for the economy. can it happen? what can they do as they're getting ready to announce credit another interest rate hike, number seven for the year.

but here's the silver lining. it's probably going to be small. probably less aggressive than what we've seen over the last few interest rate hikes. on wall street, pretty flat. the dow, you know, status quoish. not too long before the closing bell. investors are looking ahead to the fed meeting and today's inflation report showing for month number two, prices went up less a than expected which experts read as a sign inflation may be starting to loosen up. here's the president earlier today. >> make no mistake, prices are still too high. we have a lot more work to do, but things are getting better, heading in the right direction. >> joining us now is brian chung. so talk through this new data and what it might mean for the big fed decision tomorrow. >> let's rehash numbers. it came in softer than economists expected. they thought inflation was going to be a lot worse. prices came in 7.1% higher than they were this time last year. economists were expecting 7.3%.

we're still seeing high inflation and people are feeling that at the store and even though it's no longer 9%, it's still probably not a noticeable impact for american shoppers, but again, directionally, that shows improvement towards what the fed would like to see, which is closer to 2%. now what's keeping inflation high? it's things like rent and things like food, the things people spend the most of their budget on. but we did actually see price declines in some categories this month. when you take a look at for example use cars and truck, computers, furniture and for some reason, men's pants and shorts. seems like some prices coming down. we'll take what we can get. >> thank you very much. i'm sure we'll be talking again. new nbc news reporting that the biden administration is looking at new restrictions on migrants including one policy that looks a lot like something former president trump put in place. four sources familiar telling nbc news that officials are really solidifying plans to cut

down on the number of migrants who would -- while still in their home countries. now part of that plan was put into practice in 2019 by the guy you see on the left side of your screen. steven miller. joining us now is nbc news home land security correspondent. you're reporting they've held half dozen meetings about this in the past few days. tell us about the timeline if this comes a full fledged policy for this administration. >> those were just the meetings over the weekend. as they try to figure out how to keep a lid on the situation at the border. as you know, you've already seen images right there in el paso over 1,000 crossing in a single day. they've had to do street releases in el paso when the

shelters get full. right now, they're looking at next wednesday. that's when a court ordered lift on covid-19 restrictions will begin and even more migrants will be able to come into the united states and claim asylum and stay until they can have those cases heard in court. so this new policy would make any asylum seeker ineligible for that unless they had first made a claim in mexico or another country they passed through on the way to the united states. that is what as known as a transit ban straight out of steven miller's book. the difference though is that the biden administration wants to open up more legal pathways for migrants to apply from their home countries before they make dangerous journeys. from haiti, nicaragua, cuba. in order to have them apply in their home country, but asylum and immigration advocates say that will be like slamming a door and cracking a window because so many fewer would be el vibl for protections that way

when they have to show they have a u.s. sponsor, if they're able to actually get here on their own, then people coming to the border, they say that actually the biden administration will probably be sued if they go forward with that policy. just as the trump administration would sue. >> thank you very much. to a damning new report out today. a bipartisan senate investigation finding rampant sexual abuse of women in federal prisons. according to the report, prison employees sexually abused female prisoners in at least two-thirds of federal prisons which have held women over the past decade. the committee also blaming management failures for letting it continue. today on capitol hill, there was testimony from three women who were sexually abused. >> at my most vulnerable i believed here was a person who cared about me when no one else

did. i was wrong. after several months, around may 2018, began to demand sexual favors in change for food and medicine that he brought. >> joining us now, ali, tell us more about these findings, this investigation which brought together republicans and democrats and then with the doj if anything will do about it. >> that's right. this is a month's long investigation from a bipartisan committee presenting their findings and letting these women speak for themselves giving this emotional testimony about situations where they were vulnerable and had no recourse and there's conversation in this hearing about the backlog of cases because this was happening at so many of these federal sites. you mentioned 19 of the 29 plaes places and now there are questions about what to do to fix it. the new head of the bureau

saying she's -- listen. >> two things that would help up front, cameras, search policy, contraband penalties. inmates are being groomed, contraband is a huge problem and if we had cameras, i can't tell you how many cases we have where the absence of video testimony makes it extraordinarily difficult. >> and that could speak to why there's such a back log of these cases, but of course much of the blame was placed at the feet of former leaders at the bureau of prisons for not finding these case, not acting on them, not detegting them. so clearly, a lot of training needing to be done as they try to chart a path forward under new leadership, but this is a committee that's kept the spotlight on the bureau over the course of the next several

months. bipartisan in nature. we'll probably continue to see them do more of this, but just a damning report with emotional testimony on capitol hill. >> thank you for that. coming up, news just in. the u.s. getting close to sending a new and important weapons system to ukraine. plus, the energy secretary announcing a huge energy breakthrough. if you're like, i don't get it. we got you. stay with us. you're like, i dot we got you stay with us and we would experience turbulence. i would watch the flight attendants. if they're not nervous, then i'm not going to be nervous. financially, i'm the flight attendant in that situation. the relief that comes over people once they know they've got a guide to help them through, i definitely feel privileged to be in that position. ♪♪

the biden administration making it official today. u.s. scientists basically replicating the way the sun and other stars produce energy through a process called nuclear fusion. the tough of sci-fi dreams until recently when a lab in california figured it out. you might have been dying for for the too long version. got a bunch of smart people who took large lasers, fired them at atoms an got enough pressure and heat going to create more energy they used. that's called ignition. this kind of energy does not give off carbon. it's clean. it's got huge potential. and it's incredibly exciting for scientists and the energy secretary. here's what she said. >> it's the first time it has

ever been done in a laboratory. anywhere. in the world. simply put, this is one of the most impressive scientific feats of the 21st century. >> she added it's like adding a power drill to our tool box in building a clean energy economy. so what is the catch? what's your grain of salt caveat here? well, turning this from something wild that happens in a lab to something you could actually use in your life, that huge set of lasers, for example, can't be fired off that often. it's enormous. multiple football fields and to get this to a scale that could useful could take years, if not decades. again, i'm not going to flip on my light switch at my moment in the next couple of years and have it be powered this way, but the implications are massive. >> there's a reason scientists

have spent literally decades and billions of dollars trying to accomplish this and they knew it was theoretically possible because we see it happen every day in the core of the sun. but to be able to replicate that here on earth in a laboratory setting was really a significant breakthrough that we're learning some of the details of how it actually took place. they did it last monday just after 1:00 a.m. there was 192 lasers that all had to focus at the same time, sending energy into this tiy little capsule to be able to create this reaction which then got ten times as hot as the sun. but this is still very much a laboratory kind of a thing. they were only able to create this kind of energy for about as long as it takes for you to blink your eye. a tiny fraction of a second. so to be able to scale that into the kind of thing that can

produce energy ongoing to get it small enough, safe enough, and durable enough to you could deploy this in communities around the country and around the world, that is going to be more according to what officials said today like a decades out kind of a thing. not years. not centuries, but somewhere in the neighborhood of decades,but a possibility that scientists say now has a solid proof of contract. >> thank you very much. still ahead, the new bill that would ban tiktok for everybody in this country. plus, live in qatar with argentina and croatia facing off. stick with us. argentina and crtioaa facing off. stick with us. when a cold comes on strong, knock it out with vicks dayquil severe. just one dose starts to relieve 9 of your worst cold

i got a lot of this from you. ♪ unwrap your family story, with ancestrydna. breaking news from the pentagon. with the biden administration apparently finalizing plans to send a new defense system to ukraine. patriot missiles, basically. it still needs a stamp of approval from defense secretary but may be announced this week. courtney is at the pentagon. she is reporting this out for us at msnbc news. >> so patriot systems, this is basically a truck that has a radar on it and a bunch of missiles and it's why it's so important now for ukraine is it provides an air defense system. we've been hearing for the past several weeks and months about this barrage of russian drones, uavs, unmanned systems flying

in, crashing into critical infrastructure in ukraine, killing people, knocking out the lights, taking out their water supply. in addition to that, we've been hearing about ballistic missiles russians are firing into ukraine. the ukrainians have been asking for this for some time. the u.s. has been talking about this for several weeks. a senior official told reporters here that in fact they were really looking at this as a possibility. they were just trying to figure out where they could get a patriot system from and when hey might be able to get it into ukraine. according to these officials that the u.s. is finalizing their plans to send one of these patriot systems. the question we're waiting to hear is exactly when will the u.s. make this announcement, be able to get the system in. this is another one of those complex systems that's going to take training. that's another thing we're waiting to here is where will the u.s. do this training for

the military on this system. it has the potential to provide a widespread ariel defense for the ukrainian military at a time when there's a lot of concern that the air attacks coming on the ukrainian civilians and military could continue to tick up, hallie. >> live for us at the pentagon. thank you for that. to capitol hill now and a new moment of bipartisanship, if you will, with republicans and democrats uniting on something interesting. opposition to tiktok. got a group of lawmakers introducing the bill that would ban it in this country because of these concerns that chinese government officials could get access to user data. tiktok has said its parent company does not have access to the data. sahil, is this going to get up for a vote? could we see it happen? what is the mechanism to enforcement here? >> it's still to be determined whether this will get a vote. the bill is called the

antisocial ccp act introduced by three lawmakers including marco rubio, mike gallagher who has been tapped by republicans to lead the new house select committee on china for the next couple of years and there's a democratic congressman of illinois. now, specifically, the bill would prohibit all transactions from social media companies believed to be under the influence or control of several countries. that includes china, russia and a few others. congress prohibits -- against one entity. but the goal of this is clear as you see in the press releases. it is to ban suggesting that tiktok could be a threat to american national security because it's

controlled by a chinese company who lawmakers suspect could be ultimately answering to the government of china and collecting data on americans using it for espionage purposes as well. i checked in with the office of senator rubio and they realize this is going to get a boat anytime soon. it's december and a lot of lawmakers haven't given this much thought according to conversations i had earlier today but they believe the fact that it has bipartisan support is helpful. as for tiktok, 80 to 90 million active users in the united states, this would create quite a stir if this bill were to be bent -- >> i also, i love you so much, that's the most elegantly understated way of putting it, the kids would revolt. this app is so popular. it's where a lot of young people get their news, it is one of the most widely searched apps in the world, right, and you have to talk now, telling our cnbc team that they believe

this is basically a politically motivated piece of legislation. they pushed back on the idea that there is concern as it relates to china accessing news or data here pay >> tiktok has dismissed these arguments against them recently when the state of maryland passed legislation seeking to ban tiktok, they put out a statement calling it based on misinformation, they say they are having to meet with lawmakers to discuss this further. and in addition to the users, it's also an increasingly popular source of news for younger people, so the destruction to the way that ordinary americans, particularly younger americans get their news, it could be significant if this were going to become law but it's quite a way off at this point. >> thank you. the very first world cup semi final match is just finishing up. and if you want to avoid spoilers, i'm not sure why you're watching msnbc, i will

give you one second to mute, argentina, looking like they are going to put their place in the final. they are winning against croatia, three to nothing. the current defending champ, france facing the dark horse, morocco, tomorrow afternoon. with this world cup coming to an end this week and, all the controversy and drama that came with it coming to an end, too, the final is 10:00 eastern, mark your calendars. meghan, i'm told by my producers that i am required to ask you, if you also agree with all of us that messy is the best of all time? >> i have an idea of who your producer may be that asked the question but there's no doubt about it, messy is one of the best players who's ever played the game, and what an amazing torment, we got to see him play then we got to see christian

rinaldo, is this the last time we will see some of the greatest to ever play the game? will they retire, messi is 35 years old, the next world cup is in 2026, so we will see. we hope so but we never know . >> what i'm wondering, you are at a watch party, i can't imagine the enthusiasm, it's got to be only building and building as we get closer to the final match here. >> oh, absolutely. people are excited because this has been, probably arguably, one of the best world cup, because you just can't predict who supposed to win, right, argentina, their first match here, as you know, they were upset by saudi arabia, that was one of the biggest upsets in world cup history. they went on to play the netherlands, they merrily beat the netherlands, that game was

a penalty kick in as you mentioned, we are talking about morocco, tomorrow, playing in the semi finals against france, france lost to tunisia but morocco is making history as the first african nation to advance in the semi finals. we've seen upset after upset which is what makes this so exciting. you really don't know who's going to make it to the finals, obviously we know argentina is one of them but tomorrow, it's france or morocco, who you got, hallie? >> all i knew was the messi thing, i'm doing my best. it's certainly been an epic weekend. taking you back to a live look at the white house. it's been a celebration here, with hundreds of people on the white house staff line as president biden gets ready to sign the respect for marriage act. mike is watching all of it, we expect to hear from the president shortly, sam smith, has been one of the musical performance as well as cyndi

lauper popping into the briefing room as well. we will check back in with them as soon as the president starts speaking but keep it locked here on msnbc because we will have more coverage of this significant event later on this afternoon. i wish that shaq was my real life big brother. what's up, little bro? turns out, some wishes do come true. and it turns out the general is a quality insurance company that's been saving people money for nearly 60 years. for a great low rate, and nearly 60 years of quality coverage- go with the general.
