Meet the Press links — Sunday, August 9

Our next steps in North Korea now that two American journalists are finally free. How was their freedom ultimately won? What about North Korea's on-going nuclear ambitions? Can this really be seen as a new opportunity for better relations? We'll find out from a man at the center of these questions , the President's national security adviser, Gen. James Jones (Ret.). As economists predict unemployment will reach a 27 year high, and job prospects continue to look bleak for many Americans, how and when will things finally start to recover? Two key big-city mayors on the frontlines of finding solutions to unemployment, housing foreclosures and a faltering economy -- New York City's Michael Bloomberg and Newark, NJ's Cory Booker -- join us for a special discussion. Plus our roundtable: The New York Times' David Brooks; CNBC's Erin Burnett; and Newsweek's Jon Meacham.
