Is the American dream dead? Many of us are getting ready to enjoy the long Labor Day weekend. But more and more Americans are finding it difficult to afford the basics of life. And so, we will go In Depth on whether we can truly enjoy the fruits of our labor.

And -- the press under attack: You know what I'm talking about. The President's claim that the press is the enemy of the people. But as the President continues to rage against various figures in the media...a possible ramification: An Encino man, charged with making death threats to the Boston Globe over its Trump editorials. We'll go In Depth on that as well. Plus, are anonymous news sources really fake news?

Later in the show...higher education. College and sexual abuse on campuses. We'll take a look at the Education Secretary's controversial proposed policy that some feel would lessen the rights of those sexually abused -- on college campuses.

Plus, affirmative action...the Justice department says Harvard University puts Asian American applicants at a disadvantage -- holding them at a higher standard to get it...we'll sharpen our pencils to examine this one... And, the story of man who actually did cut off his nose to spite his face.

And, hurray for Labor Day..but before we go celebrating...research shows 4 in 10 Americans can't even pay for basic needs like groceries or housing....This according to a new study from the Urban Institute.
