President Trump has now condemned a weekend rally in Virginia that descended into chaos after white supremacist groups clashed violently with counter protesters. Trump says he will launch a civil rights investigation into the weekend violence that claimed 3 lives including a woman protesting who was hit when a car rammed into the crowd. We'll get reaction from human rights groups and discuss the state of hate groups in the United States. Then, in less than a week, an event that is promising to be a celestial spectacular for star gazers arrives. We'll talk about the upcoming total solar eclipse and what you need if you plan to watch the event unfold. Plus the latest headlines from Columbus.
