here is gary's report. >> reporter: congresswoman lauren boebert is a flamethrower o.vid-19 mutated into communism a long time ago. and the easiest way to make the delta variant go away and to turn off cnn and vote republican. a tweet, she later deleted and at a speech at cpac, where she implied that federal workers would bring vaccines to people's homes. something that is not being done. >> don't come knocking on my door with your fauci ouchie. you leave us the hell alone. >> reporter: and then, there was this tweet. t trotting out hitler and his third reich, biden has deployed needle nazis to mesa county, which is one of the counties in our district. what was she thinking with that tweet and the other things she's written and said? we went to capitol hill to ask her. >> representative boebert, question for you. why did you use the term needle nazis on your twitter feed? were you trying to make fun of people? liken them to hitler? any comment at all? the tragic fact is much of lauren boebert's congressional district is now a covid-hot zone, amid this delta-variant sur

. >> sean: meanwhile, congresswoman ocasio-cortez picking a fight with congressman lauren boebert andher twitter remarks about the dangers of government dependency. here with the reaction, he's here with the reunion, matt schlapp along with the republican congressman lauren boebert is with us. i don't know, i don't think i would mind if congresswoman ocasio-cortez, the real speaker of the house, started taking shots at me. i think that would be a great pay-per-view event debate. i would love to see it. >> absolutely, sean, and if anything, if the socialist congresswoman ocasio-cortez wants to be talk about anything right now, it should be cuba. let's see her trying to defend what's going on there right now. she can't do it. this is a murderous regime and they are demanding liberty and freedom and all she's doing is getting on twitter picking fights. >> sean: you know, matt, i spend many cpac event. 98% approval rating for donald trump. i would say he is slipping. in the history of that poll, has there ever been 98%? >> no, i had the great pleasure of briefing president trump on the nu

eugene, lauren boebert, congresswoman from colorado had this to say about this.ounty. the people of my district are more than smart enough to make their own decision about the experimental vaccine and don't need coercion by federal agents. did i wake up in communist china? >> eugene, these claims get more and more outrageous by the day. it's crazy. >> every word of that is a lie and every word of that is crazy, every word of that is deliberate and designed to appeal to this sort of crazy, tribal attitude that has developed that has been encouraged to develop against vaccination. this was the scene -- vaccination is a very good thing for you. it's in your best interest to get vaccinated, in everybody's best interest for everybody to get vaccinated. nobody is forcing anyone to do it, but if you think about it for five minutes in any sort of rational way. you see that it is a good idea, it's certainly not anything out of nazi germany. it is just amazing that we're at this point when dealing with a matter of public health. vaccinations are required for kids to go to

and this uncovered by cnn's k file is anthony, seen with lauren boebert, republican members took to the border on tuesday and wednesday, when claegs were voting on a select committee to investigate january 6th. a close ally of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene was there for the attack on the capitol. but unlike a number of republican lawmakers, who have tried to blame it on antifa, black lives matter, fbi agitators, or anyone but trump supporters. this guy makes no bones about who was responsible. >> we were all there. it was not antifa and it was not blm. it was trump supporters that did that yesterday. i'm the first to admit it. being one, myself. >> so that was anthony, january 7th, a day after the insurrection. and here is part of his live stream on the border, three nights ago during which he interviewed and chatted with house members lauren boebert. you see her there. madison cawthorne, chris jacobs, john rose, ronny jackson, and mary miller. the members were there the night before the former president's visit, which they took part in. and as it turns out, so did this guy, ague

whose members were involved in the attack on the capitol like gosar and the oath keepers, or lauren boebert and the 3 percenters, seen here in 2019 during her campaign posing with members from the group. a conservative youtuber seen on tape breaching the capitol on january the 6th later appeared to accompany a group of gop house members, including republican study committee chair jim banks to the border. no wonder nancy pelosi blocked banks from being on the select committee, too. so what the committee needs to investigate is whether there were connections or contacts between specific members of congress or specific rioters or militia groups on or immediately ahead of january 6th. we need to know. number three, what happened to the d.c. national guard on january the 6th? where on earth were they? >> for three hours the head of the d.c. national guard had to wait to get the authority while we were all watching on tv these insurrectionists breach the police line, break the glass. the defense department still didn't give authority. >> why not? we know that one of the top military guys involved

he did not endorse lauren boebert. he endorsed their opponents. and those folks won anyways and are now in congress. so his record's not perfect. the danger for a republican is not will somebody else in my race get the trump endorsement. trump can use his megaphone to sink you more than he can use his megaphone to save you. >> thanks to everyone. really appreciate it. >> later we're going to have a look at americans who did not get the vaccine who are now sick and gasping for air and begging for the vaccine, their message to vaccine sceptics or vaccine procrastinators. >>> plus, a spotlight on mental health at the toke yo olympics. we're going to talk to an expert about the pressure of the games. stay with us. monitor, check and lock down you money with security from chase. control feels good. chase. make more of what's yours. the sleep number 360 smart bed is on sale now. it's the most comfortable, body-sensing, automatically-responding, energy-building, dually-adjustable, dad-powering, wellness-boosting, foot-warming, temperature-balancing, reco

. >> and we're talking about those members being tom tiffany, lauren boebert, chris jacobs,michael cloudon and mary miller. thank you, andrew, for your reporting. people should go to cnn.com to read more about that. i want to give a quick programming note as well. in july 4th, america is open. it's time to celebrate. i hope you'll join me along with my colleagues and friends, don lemon, dana bash, and victor blackwell for a star-studded evening of music and fireworks. it's going to be such a fantastic celebration, and it all begins on july 4th at 7:00 eastern only on cnn. alisyn takes it from here. have a great weekend. ♪ 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan -from colonial penn? -i am. we put it off long enough. we are getting that $9.95 plan, today. (jonathan) is it time for you to call about the $9.95 plan? i'm jona

there's lauren boebert who was new to congress, tweeted on the morning of the six today is 1776. it i want to focus on congress paul both start. part of the reason that things got so harry, with the mob including ashley babbitt, getting so close to the people in the presidential line of succession is because the house took longer that they to adjourn the senate. i only understood this after a watch the documentary. rioters broke into the building at around 2:10 pm. the senate adjourned couple of minutes later, the messages sent. you might remember that moment, i was watching live on air. james lankford interrupted and incomes whispers and everyone starts moving quickly. everyone gets out. the house, at the same time, continued in session for several more minutes and part of the reason was because paul go saar was still airing his grievances of the big lie on the house floor objecting to the ceding electors in his own state. >> in arizona, mail-in ballots were altered on the first day of counting and has been concluded by data analysts. over 400,000 mail-in ballots were altered, s

mask requirement for the house, at least 24 republicans seen defying it, including congresswoman lauren boebertsk. her office says she slid the mask back across a table. one analyst says while politics like her may not be household names across the country, they are resistance to mask wear kg have a real impact. >> seeing her say no, we're not going to do it, people say, we don't have to either. they're mainly trying to appeal to this -- the part of their constituencies who think this is all a conspiracy against them by the democrats to impose their will on them. >> reporter: and an enpeoplologist has a warning tonight about america making mask wearing political. >> we'll see what happened last year, when politics got in the way of public health. we'll see the virus win. >> reporter: public health experts say part of the problem with the resistance to mask wearing across the country is the guidance is no longer all encompassing, it requires every american to look up where they need a mask depending on a map like this one. a top psychologist says you're asking a lot from everyone when you move t

here he is along with colorado congresswoman lauren boebert.is anthony aguerrero, he's a close ally of marjorie taylor greene. he's a youtuber who took part in the insurrection. on january 6th he entered the capitol, chanted heave ho along with others and this is our house. we should note that aguerrero has not been charged and the fbi has declined to comment on whether it's investigating him. but now he's traveling around with u.s. lawmakers? we still don't know much in terms of lawmakers in terms of who will make it to investigate the attack. house gop leader kevin mccarthy can fill five seats on the panel. he wouldn't say yesterday whether he will. two gop sources tell cnn they think he will not. as i see it he has three options, pick no one at all, pick someone who opposed certifying biden's win, plenty of those, 139 house republicans voted to overturn the election or a third option, pick a republican who didn't help push the big lie. but that would be going against most of his own party. speaker pelosi won't say if she would veto any of mc

it is firmly on the side of the marjorie taylor greene, the lauren boebert and others who are pushing is not so much about just about trumpism any more. it is also about the sort of anti-pc culture, pushing the envelope in all of the different ways and the mccarthy knows if he alienates those members of congress, he alienates those supporters an he's clearly unwilling to do that but in doing so he's emboldened marjorie taylor greene as you saw when we she went back to her nazi comparisons because there is no desire in republican leadership to punish her for it. >> so abby, this is essentially projecting that the republican playbook going into the 2022 midterms of obstructing joe biden's agenda, mining the culture wars for anti--pc sentiments minute base and trying to pass voting restrictions based on the big lie. is this any other pathway for republicans to win other than essentially embracing trumpism that way? >> well, i mean, as you point the out, none of the things that you mention involve republicans talking about their policy ideas or ideology for how they want to governor an i

. >> lauren boebert, sort of out of the marjorie taylor greene wing of the party.nt at cpac. >> we're here to tell government we don't want your benefits. we don't want your welfare. don't come knocking on my door with your fauci ouchy. you leave us the hell alone. >> alice, paul, anybody want to -- >> that's limited government 2.0 trump style. and what -- that is really what republicans have felt for many years is we need limited government and more individual responsibility. this is just with the trump tie on it. >> this is a congresswoman who gets government paycheck, government health care, government staff and she hates the government. anybody out there, though, listening to her and agrees, send back the biden bucks. send back the money that all the republicans voted against. send it back. we can use it in the treasury. we'll use it for others who need and deserve the assistance. send the biden bucks back. you don't want the money, don't take it p. >> alice, paul, thank you. >>> he's trying to go after facebook and twitter. could trump's latest lawsuit actuall

>>ey daniel, colorado congressm lauren boebert said we're here to thel theo government, we dot want your benefits, we don't want your welfare. that is fresh given that she receives ppp loans for her restaurant. aoc snapped back on twitter. tell them loud and proud. gop will strip your unemployment benefits and disassemble any safety net we have left. how unhinged has this modern gop come from reality? and from understanding what it is that the majority of americans say they actually want from government? >> well, congresswoman boebert is one of the members of the republican party who is always looking to rev up the base and is always looking to endear herself to the more radical ideas and proposals of the gop. so i'm not super surprised that she would say something like this. evenli if she benefitted from p loan not so long ago, but it's definitely the sentiment of where the base of thehe republin party is right now. you will find any big standard bearer for the gop making those same arguments. >> yeah. very little surprises us these days, if we're being honest. matt, i just gotta ask yo

he's with congresswoman lauren boebert.ngressman madison cawthorne. >> all right, guys, the congressman is behind me. that is freaking awesome. that is freaking awesome, i'll tell you that. >> april, republicans not only refusing to investigate the insurrection in many cases, but some now spending time with admitted capitol rioters. it's jarring and kind of surreal when you watch it play out in realtime. >> phil, they're trying to change the narrative of the truth of what happened at the capitol on january 6th. and this man i am sure is being eyed by the fbi. the fbi is inundated right now. they are stressed and stretched trying to put names to faces that they see in video and also trying to get try iangulation wh phone numbers for those who were there on that day. the question is what are they looking for? are they looking for those who did something? or are they looking for those who just happened to do something and they were in the building? and the way i understand it, this man, who was at the border with congressional

and there's lauren boebert of colorado, who was new to congress, just a few days into her job, who tweeted on the morning of the 6th, today is 1776. but again i want to focus on congressman paul gosar. part of the reason that things got so hairy inside the capitol with the mob, including ashli babbitt, getting so close to the people in the presidential line of succession, is because the house took longer that day to adjourn the senate. i only really understood this after i watched that "new york times" documentary. rioters first broke into the capitol building at around 2:10 p.m., and the senate crucially adjourned just minutes later, 2:13. so three minutes go by, and the message is sent. you might remember that moment when it happened. senator james lankford of oklahoma interrupted mid-sentence. an aide comes and whispers in his ear, and everyone starts moving very quickly. you see that? everyone gets out. the house at the same time continued in session for several more key minutes, and part of the reason was because paul gosar was still airing his grievances of the big lie on the house f

fauci was also targeted by congresswoman lauren boebert. >> don't come knocking on my door with yourns and the zoom background lady. now do measles vaccines? no, you don't want to do that? this war against the covid vaccine isn't just a war against science. it's a war against phublic health. that thing that insures safety across populations. things like food hygiene and clean water and seat belts and vaccines. the polio vaccine became available in 1955, americans literally celebrated in the streets. there was, of course, no fox news back then. no tuckers and lauras smearing the idea of getting vaccinated even after they boss got the shot before most people could. there was also no cpac fueling a staggering political divide on who is vaccinated and who is not. even as the delta variant and other mutations fuel outbreaks in red states and among the young. the word dystopia doesn't even cut it because at least in that context, people are trying to survive. this feels like conservatives are willing to die to own the libs for their political jim jones donald trump. what's a deadly airborn

is it just extremists like lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greene, or is it some criteria in yourk you very much, joy, for having me. it's clear that this committee has to work. we're not interested in people who are distracters in doing the work. we can differ, but there's a process. committees operate by rules and regulations. as chair, i will make sure that we do that. i would hope that leader mccarthy gives members on this committee the respect they are due by putting people on there who want to find out what really happened on january 6th. rather than put people who are denying that anything occurred. all of the information you can see in the public sector, it was quite a show. and it almost cost the lives of a lot more people, members of congress, staff who work in the building, so what we have to do is take the charge that this committee has been tasked to do and look at the facts and circumstances on january 6th and call it like we see it. we'll go where the facts lead us. nothing is sacred. the committee at this point has no shrinking violets on it. we want to get it done

to say, but if you were speaking prior to the 2020 elections, you probably wouldn't have given lauren boebert both of them are there right now. >> now, you referred to one republican candidate, ruben lan din dante right now. i want to play "the dawn is upon us." >> the way to fragrant someone from the ultimate truth and resonance is to create something seismically different with a little bit of truth, so essentially in this political climate, for example, you have democrats or republicans. we're going now through the darkest point of the night before the dawn where people realize that we are not our emotions, we're not our body, and we're seeing this, really, with this whole issue of identity that's coming up all over the world. >> he's also paid for multiple facebook ads with the qanon hashtag #thegreatawakening. >> he's probably up there, but i'm not sure he would be -- there's another candidate in florida, joe perkins, who would also be very openly embracing qanon. but i suspect that they're not the more -- the ones we should be worried about because they're the ones who have less of a cha

. >> that, as on the house floor, republican lauren boebert reportedly threw a mask back at a floor staffer, when she was offered one as she walked out, maskless. she then sat on the house floor, the only member refusing to wear a mask. today. and that's what this is all about. it's because so many people refuse to save their own lives, while the rubber is about to hit the road. okay? because president biden, about to announce a requirement that all federal workers be vaccinated, or submit to mandatory testing. just should have to do it. but, okay. companies, like google and facebook, requiring vaccines for all office employees. one of the largest real estate developers in new york city telling employees, they will be fired if they're not vaccinated by labor day. yes. some people are angry about putting masks back on. just when they were getting used to going without them. some people are even angry, frankly, about the spread of the delta variant. and counting on masks to protect them and their unvaccinated kids from the people, who just don't seem to care. and speaking of not caring, to fo

his name is anthony aguerra with congressman lauren boebert. here he is the day after the insurrection bragging about participating in it. take a listen. >> we were all there. it was not antifa and it was not blm. it was trump supporters that did that yesterday. i'm the first to admit it. being one myself. >> i guess, congressman, besides the jarring recognition that somebody who was there is now currently hanging out with your current colleagues in the wake of it, many of whom were there on january 6, what do you make when you see something like this and see the fact that some of your colleagues are still in cahoots, hanging out, with i don't even know what the right terminology is. with somebody that was there and openly acknowledged his role on january 6? >> well, it's disappointing but it shouldn't be surprising to anyone who was there. you know, the misinformation continues to be a key aspect that many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle continue to fan those flames and even recently some have speculated that the continued cons

in 2020, at least two candidates marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert had publicly sympathized witheir elections and are now members of the united states congress. the rest of the gop may not bow to the qanon gods, but giving these conspiracy theorists comfort and aid in the republican party makes republicans accomplices. this is not about your politics any more. this is about conspiracy theorists spreading lies that are undermining the republican party and american democracy and endangering the health and lives of americans. it is time for the republican party to expunge these conspiracy theorists from their ranks for the sake of democracy. . this is about conspiracy this is about conspiracy this is cynthia suarez, cfo of go-go foodco., an online food delivery service. business was steady, until... gogo-foodco. go check it out. whaatt?! overnight, users tripled. which meant hiring 20 new employees and buying 20 new laptops. so she used her american express business card, which gives her more membership rewards points on her business purchases. somebody ordered some laptops? cynthia

the lauren boebert's of the world, they think their own re-election prospects are more important thans. as kurt pointed out, this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated right now and dr. walensky made that point this week. do you know who is unvaccinated in the united states? any children under 12. so it's up to us adults to do the responsible thing here and get the vaccines and these congresspeople, i don't know how they sleep at night, honestly. because a 5-year-old died in marjorie taylor greene's district this week of covid-19, so i hope that she sees that little boy's face at night when she's misleading the public along with her colleagues about the science. >> you mentioned marjorie taylor greene. let's take a listen to something she said earlier this week. here it is. >> have you, yourself, gotten vaccinated and do you disagree with the republican view? >> your first question is a violation of my hipaa rights. with hipaa rights, we don't have to reveal our medical records and that also involves our vaccine records. >> a reporter there asking -- says that asking a lawmaker their vacc

erupted on capitol hill today over the updated mask wearing guidelines in the house with gop member lauren boebertt biden is expected to announce tomorrow that federal workers will require to be vaccinated or else submit to testing. now, to be crystal clear, these mandates and measures are designed to protect citizens from a deadly, dangerous, and highly contagious variant. a virus that for some will ravage the body killing to date more than 4 million people around the world. so imagine for a moment not being able to breathe. that's what our health care workers on the covid front line are seeing again and again every single day. >> i feel bad. >> bad? >> yeah. i cannot breathe good. i have shortness of breath. i feel sorry about not getting a vaccine. >> why didn't you get vaccinated, ma'am? >> i was scared. >> do you regret not getting vaccinated a little sooner? >> i regret it, yes, i do. i feel like i was dying. i couldn't do nothing for myself. i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. it's horrible. >> joining me now is florida internist, dr. michelle aquino. this footage is heartbreaking and i w

lauren boebert, madison cawthorne, chris jacobs, michael cloud, john rose, mary miller, and tom tiffany was a close ally of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene and is a convicted felon. the group that organized the border trip said his attendance was, quote, purely incidental. the fbi, previously, declined to comment on whether he was under investigation for breaching the capitol. >>> so, let's bring in congressman gosar's sister, jennifer gosar. jennifer, thank you so much for joining us on the show. i mean, first of all, when you hear everything i just laid out, what is your visceral reaction? >> my visceral reaction is disgust. it's nausea and loathing. i do not understand why these people continue to work in congress. why they continue to do what they are doing with any -- without any efforts to, both, consider censure, expulsion, and investigation. >> you've said that your brother is partly responsible for inciting the january-6th attack. i mean, what do you make of his revisionism and conspiracies about that day? >> again, nausea worthy. it's despicable. and it's really cynical b

and this uncovered by cnn's k file is anthony, seen with lauren boebert, republican members took to theo investigate january 6th. a close ally of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene was there for the attack on the capitol. but unlike a number of republican lawmakers, who have tried to blame it on antifa, black live

we heard that about marjorie taylor greene, you heard that for lauren boebert at times but nothing aboutesting to watch because gosar was at that rally and has continually spread that misinformation about this election. i think he called president biden a usurper as if he stole the building that's right behind me. so all of these things that he says. and then when an event happens he likes to play coy about it. you talk to democrats and talk to republicans on capitol hill, and they're kind of all saying the thing that they don't understand what's going on with gosar and why he plays coy or is kind of flirting with these extreme right groups. >> you know, and, clint, it doesn't matter anymore if you understand it. the facts are out before all of us. mccarthy purged liz cheney urgently and immediately from his ranks because she refused to repeat a lie. but gosar, gosar sits on committees. let me read to you from "the new york times" reporting on mccarthy and gosar. >> it has not resulted in any punishment from house republican leaders who have declined to reprimand those in their conferenc
