in my district, when i first moved from my hometown of sumter in 1962, accelerations i remember was emancipation day and we celebrate it that because the emancipation proclamation took place in south carolina january 1, 1863. it was two and a half years later before authorities in texas remained to acknowledge the enslaved africans were free. two and a half years later, that tells us a lot about communicating and i said on the floor of the house on the day we passed the bill that it indicative of our interactions today. failure to communicate keeps us

from fulfilling the real promise of america. i would hope juneteenth will mark the date that americans started to communicate, talk with each other, not past each other. sit down conference together in order that we might fashion a pursuit of a more perfect union in a way that everybody will feel part of it. it's amazing for us to be celebrating juneteenth for the first time in 156 years. that's remarkable. the time has now come for us to use this as a day we began to talk with each other happiness

it difficult, if not impossible for people to vote. that's not the way you pursue perfection. that's foolishness we had in this country when i was a child growing up. how many in a job? you got to give an answer to the accident in order to get the right to vote. that's downright foolishness impact what's going on today and we need to stop that you don't interpret the competition constitution to somebody without reading the constitution. that's what was going on. this is just the 21st century response for the nonsense that went on in the 18, 19 and 20th centuries. arthel: majority, i feel your passion about this. i want to ask you because what you are talking about, does this

exclusively affect or benefit the black community or democracy as a whole? >> we can only be as strong as our weakest. if we keep creating weak links and society, and that's what you doing here by using that vote, then you we can the nation. this is a nation we ought to keep together. we are just a small part of this world. you look at law in various places and we would do well but all of us, irrespective of our skin color and gender, irrespective of background, we have to come together as one nation under god, indivisible

and liberty and justice for all. justice for all, denying people the right to vote and make it a felony to give somebody a drink of water standing in a hot line to vote, that's foolishness. arthel: if i may, what keeps your light of compassion burning? >> i have three daughters and four grandchildren. i think all the time about my mother and father. they got me where i am today, i would be sitting there and say house of representatives, they made a lot of sacrifices. my dad was denied high school education and when he went on his own and it got to where he could pass, college entrance

exam and was admitted to college, they wouldn't let him graduate because he didn't have a high school, so he was top student in his class in college. that the state law. my passion is to make sure my grandchildren don't have to relive what their grandparents lived. that's my passion. arthel: i'd like you to come back and join me for more conversation and right now i have to give it here. i want to wish you happy father's day thanks to you and your family. thank you very much. we'll be right back.

>> is it true many of the foreign nationals being trafficked across our border often arrived deeply indebted in the crime cartel? >> certainly we have seen quite a number of such incidences, absolutely. no question the cartel activity on the other side of the border is spilling over and all sorts of ways and you put your finger directly on one extremely concerning to us all. eric: mark joins us in arizona, the county is on the border with mexico so thank you for joining us. what is spilling over? what are you seeing in york county? >> we see human smuggling all day long. drugs, we got a report the other day drugs on the southwest border, heroin, cocaine, fentanyl. methamphetamine, all that higher than it was a year ago so we see it all year through the cartel.

eric: how are they smuggling that in? what are you seeing? >> it done social media where they recruit american citizens who come down here based on -- for example, for each person to drive three hours from my city to phoenix, they get $1000 a head. it's very lucrative, profitable and millions of dollars the cartel are invested in this criminal enterprise. eric: functional levels have been skyrocketing. cocaine up 10%. 55000 pounds so as you see this continuing, he see what's happening on the oven border, from your view on the ground, having to enforce the laws in your state in this country, what

you think federal authorities to do, can this be stopped? >> let me say this, this has been going on for months to get worse every month. humanitarian side, national security and public safety side. for every community in this country, we are on a political slippery slope. as biden, vice president harris has to prioritize our border on the southwest border, they need to change the message and the action and consequences if you violate our laws, there will be consequences. currently the stent, that's not the case, it's frustrating, insulting, anybody who wears a badge on the border, that's what border governors and sheriff struck the country from police chiefs and mayors are stepping up to do what they should be doing spew off the vice president went to guatemala, she said don't come she hasn't come to the border to see herself.

and my ready to take the stage again? i ever take the stage again? i have no idea. i'm having fun right now in this transition in my life and i'm enjoying it right now. arthel: britney spears

addressing the future on instagram a few days ago. she's in the middle of a eagle with her father over her finances and she's scheduled to appear remotely in court for the first time wednesday for a hearing in her 13-year-old conservatorship. it fox news legal analyst defense attorney so mercedes, it's going to be a zoom like court appearance, how does britney make her case and what's her strongest argument? >> always great to be on with you. probably one of the strongest arguments for her to say to the court is i've been a high functioning individual, usually when you see individuals that are subject to conservatorships they have very significant needs. brady on the other hand has been a judge on the x factor, record sales, there's also, in las vegas, she had a resume for a

number of years and to top it off, her products are being sold including perfume so this is an extraordinary case to look at someone who, in comparison to others, subject to these types of conservatorships, it vastly different for her to sit there and literally go through what she's able to do day today and extraordinary cases i listed for you, i think it's pretty compelling to the court. arthel: it sounds good but there's always the other side, what might get in her way? is there anything that could trip her up? >> so much of this is in secrecy. i'm sure, and you know the father, jamie spears has been oppressively trying to stop this. it's been reported $900,000 in bills, legal fees which ironically, britney spears pays, it's all been reported.

so we don't really know what evidence will come forward to combat that. you might hear from experts, medical experts, you might hear from psychological experts, he will probably hear testimony from the father he does choose tooth take the sand so those who do interact britney on a daily basis may take the stand and defend bring in experts say this is someone who, despite how high functioning she may seem, still has significant needs and cannot make decisions for herself so therefore for conservatorship will just continue. arthel: this has been dragging on for what, 13 years, since 2008? so if britney went, if she does regain control over her life and finances, or if she went her battle in court, does she get her control immediately or is there potential for her father to appeal? shall be 40, december.

>> right, there are multiple steps past the proceeding for the could be additional decisions by the father to try to engage the conservatorship but right now is what is considered a voluntary conservatorship so much of the petition, although you have to, you have the professional conservatorship from jody who has been taking care of day today for britney . arthel: mercedes -- excuse me, i just thought about this, let's say, can britney have a portion of it? clear this woman, give her access to $10 million immediately, see how she does, if she doesn't blow it paid, should she be able to get the rest of it, is that possible? >> that is a very creative way and you may see that where the judge, especially in these hearings, the judge could make

that type of ruling, to give her some control back. there's just so much unknown and certainly we may not even know what the evidence will be. but i think the final analysis and britney spears as interest will. arthel: so you give her access to 10 million and him access to 10 million entries the rest. she only gets access to 10 million, subject seek. i'm just saying. arthel: >> at the end of the day, i'm not sure if you saw the documentary, it's heartbreaking. i watched it twice, i couldn't believe what i was watching. a lot of us had this look into her day-to-day life, it is so sad. hopefully she will regain some control, certainly being able to do so. arthel: make it so much. see you next time. >> thank you.
