republican lawmakers here in washington say this move is an invasion of privacy and an infringement on civil liberties. it was on arizona congressman andy biggs tweeting today it's none of the government's business knowing who has or hasn't been vaccinated but hhs secretary hit back with this. listen. >> we should point out that the federal government has spent trillions of dollars to try to keep americans alive during this pandemic so it is the government's business continuing to spend money to try to keep people from contracting covid in helping reopen the economy. >> so now making moves hand in glove at the white house to clarify those remarks. jacqui heinrich joins us from 1600 pennsylvania avenue with the fallout in the strategy going forward on this. >> really trying to correct the record after the interview spark some backlash. he tweeted some comments i made

today are being wildly taken out of context. to be clear, the government has no database tracking who was vaccinated encouraging people to step up and protect themselves by getting vaccinated. it's the best way to save lives in and this pandemic. yesterday, white house press secretary jen psaki made clear that folks going door-to-door are not government officials but faith leaders, community activist. part of the rescue plan allocated 76 building into community health centers for vaccine distribution and administration including for community outreach and education. >> they are not members of the government, not federal government employees, they are volunteers, they are clergy, trusted voices and communities playing this role and doorknocking. >> that said, the white house is under pressure to ramp up vaccination efforts. former obama administration officials believes there should be a vaccine mandate.

former hhs secretary under obama told "the new york times" "i'm trying to restrain myself but i kind of had it. we are going to tiptoe it around mandates. come on, i'm kind of over that. i want to make sure people i deal with don't have it so i don't transmit it to my granddaughter." with the variant also increasing an threat, the white house has praise decisions from private-sector entity and also said those are innovative steps. go forward and take steps that you feel are appropriate. speaking of private-sector entities, businesses making those kinds of mandate decisions. the white house also said this week they do not expect to issue any new guidance when it comes to mask wearing as the variance are increasing in threat but did say local governments should do as they see fit. >> thanks for breaking down the details, we appreciate it. let's bring in a "washington post" columnist in a fox news contributor so let's start with this.

not tracking which americans are vaccinated in which americans are not vaccinated. the new match that up with a new strategy which is to send thousands of people door-to-door when we have to ask how did they know who they are reaching? maybe they are preaching to the choir. a potential huge waste of time and energy, government resources, taxpayer dollars, doesn't seem to really make sense. >> it doesn't make sense and its orwellian. they don't pose a risk to the rest of the country of your vaccinated, you are safe. the vaccines work. according to the cdc there have been a 4,686 cases of people who are vaccinated for covid and then were hospitalized for those covid vaccinations. out of 158 million people who have gotten a vaccine, that is a

breakthrough hospitalization rate of 0.003% and the death rate from those breakthrough vaccinations are 0.00006%. to put that in perspective, you've a greater chance of dying from a lightning strike and you do dying from covid if you've been vaccinated so these on vaccinated americans are putting themselves at risk and we have to encourage everyone to get vaccinated for their own health but if you are one of the 158 million americans who have gotten their full vaccination or evenhe 183 million americans who have at least one dose, they don't pose a threat to you. >> gillian: and leave people alone who were unable to get the vaccine for one underlying medical condition reason or another. it is still the prerogative of individuals in this country to make that decision with their health care provider, doctors, and is not our job meeting us in the media or civilian americans to judge them for that decision. he was the thing.

former bombing obama administration officials are weighing in on this and she said she's in favor of a vaccine mandate. what do you say to that? >> first of all, you cannot mandate that people take an experimental drug. let's remember this is only available under an emergency use authorization that's not been approved by the fda formally so it's getting ahead of our skis to say we are going to mandate people to take a drug that the fda hasn't formally approved yet and second of all, if you want to encourage people who have not been vaccinated to get the vaccine, and send of sending people door-to-door and making orwellian government list, give credit to the guy who gave us the vaccine, donald trump. you look at these statistics, the 22 least vaccinated states are trim country. they all voted for term. i think the statistics are that 86% of democrats have gone their

vote on my first dose and only 45% of republicans have. you want to convince people to get the vaccine, remind them that operation warp speed which was the greatest health achievement in human history was donald trump's achievement, why don't you tell trump supporter's this is the trauma vaccine. you trust trump, he brought it to you, he got it, that would be a lot more helpful than running around and trying to use the coercive power of government to mandate people get the vaccine or start keeping lists are knocking on peoples doors and scaring people. >> gillian: one thing i have to ask he was in the biden administration's defense, this door-to-door strategy not showing up with needles, not showing up with shops, nothing is happening on your front doorstep in front of your neighbors, but they're trying to do was get information to you, trying to make sure they know the shots are free, that you are eligible, where you can go to get one and it is an information sharing operation. does that assuage some of your concern at all or not really?

>> not really. i don't want people showing up on my doorstep's knowing my vaccine history. they did a public service at involving all the former presidents. george w. bush, bill clinton, barack obama, jimmy carter. the only president they left out was donald trump. he's the guy who gave us the vaccine. he's the guy who most of the people who are unvaccinated voted for for president. why would you not include donald trump and that public service at? lies the biden administration insist on not giving term credit for the vaccines? mississippi is the least vaccinated state and one of the most pro-trump states, have donald trump go to mississippi and do a public service out or something telling people to get vaccinated. but they are so deranged by their hatred of donald trump that they won't use the most powerful tool they have in getting people to get the vaccines and they want to create government lists and go door-to-door bothering people. >> gillian: the former president to be fair could also

decide to do that on his own. he's been going to the border, doing press conferences, he could jump into this if he wanted to. i don't think he needs to wait for a formal invitation from the white house. we've got to leave it there, but thank you so much. have a great weekend. so road rage shootings in the u.s. are on pace to reach a six-year hybrid there's an incident now occurring every 18 hours on average that ends up with somebody hurt or killed. there have been deadly road rage shootings in just the past four days in five states that includes one texas teen who was shot in the head on his way home from a baseball game. police are still searching for the suspect. william la jeunesse is live in l.a. with the details on this on this unfolding story. >> we've all seen it or done it. tailgating, honking, waving, blocking, cutting off, usually that's where it ends but at least once a day, someone is

shot at, injured, or killed in an insignificant road rage. let's go to that incident we were talking about in houston this week, you had this teenager as the family drove home, police say the teen's father exchanged hand gestures with the driver of a white buick which followed the families truck for several miles before firing shots, killing 17-year-old david. while in detroit, a firefighter and another man got in some sort of altercation on the road, both men pulled into a gas station parking lot, allegedly shot him and is now charged with murder. you are looking for the y here, some people call it covid rage. people are back on the roads, traffic is heavy, the common thread here is the middle finger which some drivers consider a challenge. >> the best advice i could give is if you think someone like that is escalating, take the

next exit. it's just not worth it. someone lost their life for no reason on tuesday night and it's just tragic. >> tuesday in minneapolis, they were driving home when there was a traffic altercation with someone in a white suv open fire, lost control of the car, he crashed, his son tried giving him cpr but his father died in his arms. >> gun violence -- they're just going to be hurt. this bully had his personal cheerleader and all of a sudden, he's gone. >> basically in the last four years on average, about 22 people died or were shot per month in road rage. now that number is 42 in the last year. >> gillian: that is brutally hard to hear.

william la jeunesse, think so much for tracking those numbers for us. hunter biden is gearing up for his first solo art show which is raising concerns with former ethics officials saying he creates risk that he is trying to cash in on his last name. also this. >> what's the plan for the day after american troops are home? al qaeda will come roaring back in the wake of a taliban take over a >> gillian: officials on the ground in afghanistan a few of the withdrawal u.s. troops there and major terror groups. president biden insists that withdrawal is precisely the right move at the right time. we've got general jack keane here to weigh in on that next. best time in history te to turn your home equity into cash. because home values have climbed to all time highs. and so has your equity.

>> a taliban takeover of afghanistan now inevitable? >> no, it is not. we did not go to afghanistan to nation no. >> do you trust the taliban, sir? >> is at a serious question? >> absolutely a serious question. >> was a silly question. do i trust the taliban, no. but i trust the capacity of the afghan military. >> gillian: president biden says his decision to pull u.s. troops from afghanistan is the right move for the nation at exactly the right time. it was first announced back in april and it is now over 90% complete. some officials on the ground inside the country say they are worried it could open the door for the taliban and other terrorist groups to expand and consolidate their power across the country and across the entire region.

listen. >> what's the plan for the day after american troops are home? al qaeda will come roaring back in the wake of a taliban takeover much like isis did when obama pulled out of iraq and that's what i fear is about to happen again. >> following up to what you just said, does that make our homeland more vulnerable to an attack? >> it does. >> gillian: greg palkot joins us from afghanistan's capital city. >> that's right, just day one of our trip here to afghanistan and already hearing a lot about this to have a bit of the militant spokespersons today claimed they had 85% of the country, that by all estimations is an exaggeration but certainly on the move. another key province on the

western side of the country and afghan military underperforming 300 more soldiers fled today to neighboring iran. here is what we saw and heard today. >> 2021 is a relatively modern bustling city but there are fears here about the taliban and concerns about the loss of u.s. support. >> every second, every minute. we live in fear. >> experience, now they are more dangerous than before. >> this is something let's happen suddenly in afghanistan because of the withdrawal of u.s. troops. >> we have heard that from several sources upset, dismay here in the country about their rapid and in some cases unannounced exit of u.s. troops in the country which is at the

center for activities and upset with the way the afghan military is handling the situation. remember, united states and nato allies turned years and years of hard work to try to train these folks up and they are underperforming as i noted. back to you. >> gillian: mighty fine illustrative reporting, thank you so much for bringing it to us. we appreciate it. general jack keane joins me now, fox news senior strategic analyst, retired four-star general and chairman at the institute for the study of war. you have heard greg's reporting there just today on the ground and it is obvious to him and his crews at the taliban is making advances. they are on the move. >> no doubt about it and why is that? our audience understands we stopped our direct combat role in 2014 we pulled out all of our

combat forces so what we have in afghanistan today are enabling forces, supporting forces for the afghan military who has been conducting the fight so we are pulling out a very robust intelligence capability to include the central intelligence agency presents which is been publicly disclosed like we've had in afghanistan for years. secondly and very decisively, we are pulling out all of the u.s. air support which has decision munitions associated with it and has been decisive in support of the afghan ground forces. without that u.s. airpower and that robust intelligence capability that pinpoints where are the taliban, where are the al qaeda and isis? without that, the afghan security forces are going to have some vulnerabilities here and you will see that being manifested here with the momentum the taliban has and it will get worse because they will

eventually mask to go into the major cities and potential capitals and i hope that the biden administration will work out a system to help the afghan security forces of that time with u.s. air even though it's coming from outside of afghanistan. much more difficult to do without u.s. spotters but it will be decisive. >> gillian: i have to ask you to chill down on that, what is the risk that biden administration perceives to leaving and intelligence presence on the ground inside the country? not terribly expensive anymore, not terribly risky for them. i do you think there's not some kind of a concession to leaving at least a few hundred intelligence operatives there? >> i don't know when it seems on unfathomable to me. intelligence agencies have made the point but i think the answer lies in a statement that president biden made yesterday.

he said afghanistan is no longer a u.s. national interest and i beg to differ because looking at afghanistan in isolation. what is happening is if you look at afghanistan through the lens of multigenerational war, you will come to the conclusion that al qaeda and isis can resurge there. that is why we wanted to have airpower to stay and make sure that doesn't happen. we have refocused ourselves dealing with radical islam over these last 20 years, we have fairly sophisticated and mature about it. we are only interested in for other ones in addition to afghanistan. iraq, syria, human, and east africa because all of them have aspirations to attack america. we are not involved in any of the others. afghanistan is also one of those in my judgment but he doesn't believe, the president, that this is in the u.s. national interest.

i hope he turns out to be right but i don't think that's going to be the case. >> gillian: what do you think about his messaging was so far about this including yesterday to u.s. service members in particular, those who are still there, those who were on their way out in the tens of thousands that cycled in and out of that country over the last two decades, how do you think he's handling the message to them? >> i think he handled that message very well to them because the reason we went into afghanistan and the reason we have stayed and obviously i think we should stay longer but the reason we have stayed these 20 years, that mission has been accomplished. we went there to run al qaeda down into their holes to make certain they could not regroup and re-attack america which waye know they have aspirations to for to this day. we have succeeded in that mission and those soldiers and family should feel very good about it. we have sacrificed 2400 great

americans to accomplish that mission and make certain the american people were not attacked again and that deserves a lot of praise and thank for it. >> gillian: they do and thank you for saying it. we appreciate having you and as always, we will talk to you soon. >> great talking to you, thank you. >> gillian: backlog and records request is holding up benefits for the families of americans fallen heroes. folks are asking, is this the best way to honor their sacrifice and service? plus, the white house making the deal to let hunter biden potentially pocket millions for his artwork. the ethics experts have a lot of questions. we will break it down next. >> using government resources to block hunter biden who is not working in the administration from knowing who is purchasing these items is almost like they are asking an agent for hunter biden using taxpayer dollars in government resources.

at his home. two of them are u.s. citizens and the colombian government says known former members of its military. so families of some of our nation's fallen heroes are saying they are frustrated that pandemic related delays in getting their loved ones military service records. it's important to note those record delays also prevent them from collecting the benefits they are owed. the partial shutdown of the national archives personnel records center is a backlog of over half a million requests at the archives have managed to spend several months now conducting studies. live in washington with that story in a very moving interview. >> good morning. the weight grows longer every day for these veterans and their surviving spouses come every second counts. take for example, 89-year-old

mother surviving spouse of army air force veteran. she is barely making ends meet in a small apartment in less than $1,000 a month while she waits for military records to prove her husband was in the service. >> it's very stressful. at times, i cannot stop thinking why is it so hard, something that belongs to me. >> she's already been waiting a year and when she gets the records, then she has to apply for certain spousal benefits and that could take another two or three years but it would be roughly $1700 a month that could be life-changing for her. >> if he was able to receive this additional money, it would help her with food, with the rent increase, being able to get transportation to and from her

medical appointments, daily living expenses really helps her. >> the national personnel records center in missouri admits its failing veterans with the current backlog as you mentioned 500,000 requests. meanwhile at the requests are piling up, and the national archives did find time to conduct a massive internal study on racism and determined that the rotunda itself had problems with structural racism and was too favorable to the white founding fathers. in the meantime, her husband's military dog tags and a cross around her neck to help her maintain hope for the future and does have hope. tomorrow happens to be her 90th birthday and her hope this year is to see her husband's military records arise in the mail. back to you. >> gillian: thank you for tracking the story for us, we wish them all the best, keep us

posted. hunter biden preparing now for his first big solo art show in the fall. ethics watchdogs and the government say they are concerned. the paintings are expected to fetch up to his much is half a million dollars apiece and buyers are going to remain anonymous. "washington post" reports today the white house has worked out a deal where buyers will be kept confidential from hunter himself can do ethics concerns. but served as former president obama's ethics chief just tweeted this "the idea that even hunter won't know but the white house has outsourced to a private art dealer, we are supposed to trust the merchant in an industry who is known for money laundering? is this amateur hour for government ethics? "we have the power panel to debate this for us, the former cochair of black voices for trump, former speaker of the

oklahoma house and of course, leslie marshall's radio talk show host and a fox news contributor. before we get into it, i've got to say i know something about this. i grew up in a household and family a professional artist. there is not an unknown artist on gods green earth who is having their first solo show and pulling and between 75 and half a million -- 75,000 and half a million dollars for a single painting. i'll go to you first. >> of the kardashians have a show tomorrow, how much with those paintings go for? >> gillian: but why would you go for that amount of money? >> it's a society where what is your name or the attachment of your name as a celebrity but the issue here is i think the white house was trying to do its best that quite frankly, this does not go far enough in here is by. one, the purchasers of the painting of the artwork could basically go out and say i'm one

of the people that bought it. two, there needs to be an nda with the purchasers and in addition, needs to be some kind of -- something prohibiting legally foreign workers from being able to purchase any of this artwork so i think the white house had good intentions but doesn't go far enough. they can earn a living, should be able to earn a living and according to hunter biden, this is keeping him alive as a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. >> gillian: so let's break down some of the pitfalls inherent in this set up, shall we? first of all, the concern that foreign agents, some of them representing foreign governments could try and purchase these paintings has special favors in the hope of getting special favors from the u.s. government through hunter biden, there is worry that american lobbyists might undertake the same kind of efforts to curry favor with the

administration and president obama's ethics advisor pointed out we are relying on the word of a single art dealer in new york city to guarantee that a hunter in the entire biden family and the entire biden administration is never able to access the names of those buyers. is this something you can put trust in? >> absolutely not. you bring up a really good point and i've got to say first of all, i've never heard hunter biden so aptly described as comparing him to the kardashians but i think that spot on but the reality is i've never met hunter biden, i don't know him but he is either the world's greatest international energy expert and a modern-day picasso or the world's greatest recipient of liberal privilege in american history but more importantly, i think the white house has taken an absolute wrong approach as it relates to this art show and the idea that we are going to hide and keep it a secret of who is

buying, who the recipient is, that is outrageous to me and flies in the face of everything we know to be decent in america. the white house should be promulgating the idea that it should be open, we should know what the white house relationship is with anybody who is making that purchase. any time money has been exchanged by a first family, it should be a transparent process and this white house has taken the absolute opposite approach to that but it really seems inappropriate that the white house is even drafting the agreement for this. the idea that they would be providing coverage for hunter biden clearly begs the question what else is this family covering up or what else are they pedaling out there? we have heard hunter biden's racist remarks in his tweets and in his text messages, we have seen him as an oligarch, an oil tycoon or consultant overseas, and frankly, there's been no accountability.

reporting he was in investigation back in december but we know nothing and it should be open but right now, it is not. >> gillian: subject to separate investigations at this time, we'll see what happens as it goes forward. have to leave it there, but thank you so much for taking time for us on this friday, have a fabulous weekend. so governor andrew cuomo says it was a "tremendous personal benefit" to leave the state of new york through the pandemic spread that comment is not going over well with families who lost loved ones to covid, especially in nursing homes. plus, britney spears dad speaking out again saying some of the outcry over his daughter's conservatorship is "dangerous for him." do you feel bad for him? will debate that and what his latest court filing means for the case with kat timpf coming up next. ♪ ♪

>> gillian: this is a fox news alert. the cdc just updated their covid-19 guidance saying vaccinated teachers and students do not need to wear masks inside school buildings and less they are riding the school bus or

their individual schools set other parameters. these recommendations call specifically for all unvaccinated students and staff to continue wearing masks while inside the school. that guidance isn't mandatory and leaves it up to schools to set their own policies on verifying who is vaccinated and who is not. preliminary thinking from experts tells us this could be a way for the fed to encourage parents to get their younger kids vaccinated ahead of their return to school in the fall and will be tracking that for you. also britney spears father says he is concerned about the "dangerous claiming that he is abusive. jonathan hunt joins us from l.a. with all the insider details.

hi, jonathan. >> jamie spears according to his own daughter brittany is the toxic villain in the ongoing conservatorship battle, but now he says he is the victim here. jamie spears has been largely running britney spears life for years now is one of those leading the conservatorship and controls her financial life and according to brittany, much of her personal life too including her decisions over contraception and marriage. that made jamie spears the target of much of the anger outside court last month when brittany gave an emotional statement to the judge about her father's role. talking among other things about how he forced her to work, forced her to tour and forced her to go to a rehab center. she said simply because she argued with some of his decisions. and spears said "i cried on the phone for an hour and he loved every minute of it." the control he had over someone as powerful as me, he loved the control to hurt his own daughter

1000%." now jamie spears as he is in danger is dangerous and of course, mr. spears himself has been the subject of innumerable and ongoing threats as well, not just recently, and the fight seems set to run for some time. asking her to get her life back, she has yet as far as we are where to file a formal request for the court to once and for all and the conservatorship. >> gillian: we will continue following the story as well, thank you so much. let's bring in kat timpf. fox news analyst, fox nation host, and cohost of got fouled. on a scale of 1 to 10, how terribly bad do you feel for

britney spears as father? >> zero. maybe people are saying bad things about him because he's a bad guy. it's not hard to see this, right? she is so unbelievably, mentally, completely incompetent that she needs to be forcibly sterilized which is very telling that no one has tried to deny that she is being forced to have an iud in her body against her will. then maybe she wouldn't be mentally well enough to do back-to-back-to-back to her after tour after tour, show after show in vegas to keep making you money. but no, it's quite obvious that this is just because he is treating her basically like a cash cow for him and she has been. it's disgusting and the worst thing he has to deal with his people saying bad things about him then do better, buddy. how about that?

>> gillian: new york's governor is now also sparking some fresh outrage, the latest comments on the pandemic facing these but has now said this to a gathering of the nation's governors. take a listen. >> what we are going through what we went through and we went through together and speaking for myself, it was a tremendous personal benefit. i feel confident in saying we did the best work that we could do under the circumstances. the circumstances were impossible, but we did the best that we could do. >> gillian: do tell us more about this tremendous personal benefit. >> right. of course it's unbelievable to hear him say it, but he's already been showing us since this whole thing started that that's exactly what he's been

doing with his actions. the nursing home policy only happened because he didn't want to accept help from president trump because he had been doing so well being the anti-trump. people saying everyone says he is so hot because he's the leader we need right now, the enemies, the accolades all over the place, everyone thinks you were so great, the lucrative book deal, then show in with his actions that he was making decisions based on what would benefit him personally. so it doesn't really add much more to my opinion of him that he would go ahead and sing it other than he just simply doesn't care but we've already seen that through so many of his actions. >> gillian: living on to our last topic before we let you go, president biden's climate envoy in an airport without a mask and this time was at boston's logan airport, captured here going

through security. the tsa currently mandates that all passengers where face masks throughout the airport so it's unclear why he was allowed to enter in the first place without a face covering. it's worth mentioning because back in march, he was also captured aboard an aircraft by a fellow passenger not wearing a mask. we have reached out to the state department and they don't have a comment for us. what do you think? >> the mask just slipped even though i didn't see it anywhere. where is it? also the eyewitness who shared the photo said as they observed him wearing no mask for more than several minutes. >> probably because wearing a mask all the time especially if you are traveling on the plane for a long distance which i've done recently is awful, it's miserable and i got the vaccine, i went to the side effects, still having to do this so he probably feels that way which i would understand if he wasn't

trying to impose that on other people, those of us who are not in these powerful positions who would charged with breaking a federal law if we were to do what he is continuing to do and getting away with this? it's the hypocrisy that really grinds my gears, i will say, and it's so blatant and is just going to ignore everything last time, it drives me nuts. admit the masks are awful and if you're vaccinated, i don't see why you need to wear one on an airplane because it is awful. >> gillian: meanwhile, people like me were going to give birth next week will have to wear a mask in labor and delivery. >> that is crazy. >> gillian: don't even get me started. thank you so much for joining, i really appreciate it. we'll talk to you soon. quick reminder to everybody at home that conservative political action conference kicks off in dallas and fox nation has you covered all weekend long, you can stream the speech is, live coverage hosted by lawrence jones and tammy bruce.
