tonight we begin with john dickerson of cbs news and host of "face the nation." >> well, that question of what is going on in the mind of the north korean leader is crucial, and you've hit on exactly the right thing because if they think he is a rational actor, then all of this bluster which has a long tradition in north korea is towards a short-term goal. now, if they evaluate him and say, the reason he wants to have a nuclear weapon is so he can reunite the pennsula and use it to black mail other countries, black mail the united states, then that is an argument for preemptive action. >> rose: we conclude with jessica williams, comedian, actor and producer behind the hod cast "2 dope queens" and the netflix film, "2 dop the increde jessica james. >> sometimes i wonder how i got here when i woke up. i have to have trash to teach you about. i play a computer game where it's a bunch of little people and you can do a lot of world building but it's really fun. it is a nice way to feel control over an environment which i really enjoy. >> rose: john dickerson and jessica williams when we con

director, thank you. >> thank you, john. dickerson: thanks for being with us. with us. when we come back in a minute, we'll take a closer look at the president's response to the clashes in charlottesville yesterday. because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these, and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. and the next great idea could be yours. for "the atlantic" " on many sides. on many sides. it's been going on for a long time in our country. not donald trump. not barack obama. it's been going on for a long, long

. >>> the mayor of charlottesville, democrat mike signer, discussed the attack with john dickerson on "face the nation." >> i don't want to make this too much about donald trump. we have a lot of grieving, a lot of work to do as a city and as a country. but he should look in the mirror. he made a choice in his presidential campaign, the folks around with him, to go right to the gutter, to play on our worst prejudices. and i think you are seeing a direct line from what happened here this weekend to those choices. i mean, a lot of people were coming here this weekend saying this will be a shot heard round the world, this will be the alt-right's moment, this will be alt-right 2.0. you know, all that kind of rhetoric. and i think they were -- they're getting -- you know, they're getting okays for that because they were invited in to basically a presidential campaign. that has to stop, and it can stop now. what i did not hear if the president's statement yesterday as well-intentioned as it may have been is i didn't hear the words "white supremacy." and i think it's important to call this f
