when you look back at the past women's role models on tv, it's easy to see susan harris' impact. >> susanngularly. so all credit to her for coming up with so many iterations of something so amazing. >> do you think there is a woman's voice as a writer? >> woman's voice? they speak higher, softer? >> i should know not to ask that of a writer. >> yes, of course, there's a woman's voice. women have a different perspective. women laugh at different things. so, yes, there very definitely is a woman's voice. >> oh, do you know how many problems we have solved over a cheesecake at this kitchen table? >> no, dorothy. exactly how many. >> 147, blanche. >> cut-throat primetime time this fall as some 23 new shows compete in one of the hottest ratings races in years. here's just about one everybody predicts will be a big hit.

. >> harris: was also interesting is you've got susan collins which democrats are saying you better watch out, she might go get. actually, she doesn't believe that john roberts or any of the other judges would go against roe vs. wade the way that it is, it's kind of a false argument that she wouldn't support a candidate unless they came clean about how they feel about roe vs. wade. >> andrew: i think this is so overblown because to me, it's highly unlikely that that kind of challenge comes before the court, much more likely we will be talking about regulation and let's say even if the fantasy of some that the court jumps in and overrules roe the moment i think is highly unlikely but let's say it happens. all that would mean with that the regulation of abortion would be returned to the states. it wouldn't make abortion illegal. and to me, it seems highly unlikely that any woman who wanted an abortion the day before roe was reversed would be unable to get one the day after, it simply not going to work that way. >> harris: andrew mccarthy, it is great to have you. it's a great day to have yo

susan. thanks souch. time to head back down to southeast d.c. leon harrisand getting ready for tonight's home run derby and the big all-star game tomorrow. leon? >> i'll tell you. it's so much fun down here. i wish you guys could come down here and join us. it's been anol ae blast. it's been had a long time since this city has experiencedn l-star game and an even longer time since the very first game was played here. eun yang takes us back to when fdr was president and the games were actually played in griffith field. >> pitches and c. the year was 1937. lou gehrig, joe cronin, bill dickie, joe dimaggio lined up among the all stars this. black-and-white photo at the library of congress shows baseball legends at griffith stadium ready to play ball in the sweltering july heat. >> here's the next aitch. he slaly ball weigh out into right center field. >> the first mid-summer classic to swing into the nation's capital. >> the excitement was monufintal. streeted and homes and businesses emptied and members of congress adjourned. more than 321,000 standing only f

harris said we want to delay this, but they have no power to make it happen. they can try to swing a couple of republican senators like lisa murkowski. susan collins of maine.ut they might lose a couple because some democra are in tough reelection fights in states trump won big and they mi ht lose them. so there are not a lot of good options. >> i think we need to really think about the -- what the democrpatic party leaders is doing. what is pelosi and schumer's job? that is to whip up votes to support things. we need to remembe that the discipline with which the republicans mucked up the system and prevented the -- obama's last supreme court nominee,th e's the playbook right there. >> right. >> the democrats, like you said, mach tove to have the sto do that, they have to have the will and they have to hear from average peop that's what is expected. so much is at stake. >> but the republicans are in the majority now, so realistically what can the democrats do? >> filibuster, roll call votes, slow down the system. there's just a few months until the midterm election, and the whole issue with the supreme court, so many things are at stake. abortion rights and

. >> harris: you talk about those republicans, real quick, i just want to lean in a little bit on that. susan collins, you mentioned, of maine, may be on the bubble. she has never voted against the republican president nominee to the u.s. supreme court. she's been there before. this is not her first rodeo. and there's nothing to indicate that some one like a john roberts would move against roe versus wade and she's looked and said, well, if it looks like it's not going to change then she's onboard. is she really somebody who would switch her vote and say no? >> well, i think we have to find out what comes out through this vetting process. there's a lot of paper trail for brett kavanaugh. we don't know what's in the memos he may have written 10 or 15 years ago. so something like that could change. i agree with you, overall, collins made voe v. wade the clear issue, that they will overturn row v. wade. brett kavanaugh is not going to be the person who chooses to do that willingly during the process. >> harris: nor is justice roberts by what we know. >> right. and, you know, on top of that, the

into a showdown since republican senator susan collins from maine has said she's not going to pick any pick hostile to abortion rights. >> senator kamala harris is responding to this official white house tweet accusing her of supporting the ms-13 gang. it says, why are you supporting the animals of ms-13? you must not know what i.c.e. reallys release about two arres of two gang -- the arrests of two gang members. senator harris responded on twitter yesterday saying as a career prosecutor, i actually went after gangs and transnational criminal organizations. that's being a leader on public safety. what is not is ribbing babies from their mothers. >> 5:14 now. harvey weinstein could face life in prison if he's found guilty of several new sex crime charges against him. yesterday, the manhattan district attorney said a third accuser has come forward about an alleged attack in 2006. weinstein has denied any nonconsensual sexual incounters. his lawyer says he expects to be fully vindicated in the wake of the charges. we're learning more about an east bay woman who drowned in half moon bay. she died on sunday while trying to rescue three children at

. >> harris: from the weekly standards, i guessed who was with me, senior writer john mccormick said, what is interesting about susanor republicans, well, she probably will vote for the nominee, she wants to know that they wouldn't actively work against roe vs wade. but she does not believe other members who were conservative on the courts would overturn roe vs wade. so, it is kind of a semantics of argument right now. >> i think it is important for people to realize that the supreme court is not just about roe vs wade. there a lot of policy if choose that go in before this court. to make that the whole argument. speak out the democrats have not been where you are in now. this is a broader thought on the issue. >> i think there are some democrats who have been there. but a lot of people to get the microphone and attention, i think people have to realize it is a broader issue. you're going to have issues like affirmative action, which white women could benefit well from. patriotic americans want to disenfranchise people from voting. those are all important issues. i am not sure that it is just, to your point, i agree

susan collins and lisa murkowski. they look supportive. the democrats are the real focus here. three voted for neil gorsuch. heitkamp. manchin and donnelly. you can factor in doug jones and jon tester. harry, will they risk their political life with the no vote on this nominee? >> they could. a number of the senators are up in the midterm elections. that is the big question. they will go back home and hear what the people have to say. if the public is on the side of the nominee and usually that is how it works out in supreme court nominations, there is a lot of pressure to vote for them. >> this nominee is a strong proponent of presidential power. brett kavanaugh was the only nominee on the short list who has written a sitting president should not be indicted. it's not a coincidence he has been nominated. and having seen how first hand how difficult that job is, the president should focus on his task with as few distractions as possible. if the president does something dastardly, the impeachment process is available. >> that is what the democrats will try to hold on to and push the social issues. whether that statement on executive power or potential position on hetalth cares. those are t

susan percio is a republican strategist. guys, it's not just me, it's also fox news which he went on to try and clear things up. listen to harris faulkner. >> why do you feel it's necessary to get on the record with things that haven't been asked yet or that are not public yet? what's coming? >> well, when i thought -- when i thought -- when i thought it was going to be published, i wanted to get out in front of it. >> so apparently he thinks that there's a report coming. that report still hasn't surfaced, which is interesting because he's been on tv talking about it all day. you know rudy giuliani, why is he denying things? >> they did that when they thought the payment was going to come out to stormy daniels. and they did show that they know sometimes things are in the works. it is bizarre, though, because like you said, this isn't something that's coming out in a required report, this is just a potential news story, which we know if it's not to their advantage, they will immediately push back on and discredit or try to discredit. all i know is that if rudy giuliani is doing this, it means that they have a reason to be afraid
