Summary

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., was raised in a Democrat household and was on welfare before her journey to becoming a conservative member of Congress.

"I was raised in a Democrat household. I was stuck under failed policies that put us into a cycle of poverty with no incentive to get out. At 11 years old, I stood in bread lines. I waited for government cheese, and that's not America's best," Boebert says.

She's also a wife, mom, and entrepreneur , with her own restaurant, Shooters Grill. How does she juggle all these different aspects of life, and what's her advice to other women in similar life situations?

Boebert, who is freshman lawmaker, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss all this and more, as well as her trip on a recent congressional delegation to the U.S. -Mexico border.

We also cover these stories:

Security officials testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and said they believed the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6th was a coordinated attack.
Republican senators grilled President Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of health and human services, Xavier Becerra, on his vote against banning partial birth abortion.
The Senate confirmed Linda Thomas-Greenfield to the position of ambassador to the United Nations.

1:18.7	The events I witnessed on January 6th was the worst attack on law enforcement and our
1:22.8	democracy that I've seen in my entire career. A witness insurgents beating police officers with
1:29.1	fists, pipes, sticks, bats, metal barricades, and flag poles. These criminals came prepared for
1:37.4	war. They came with their own radio system to coordinate the attack and climbing gear and
1:42.6	other equipment to defeat the Capitol's security features. I am sickened by what I witnessed that day.
1:49.0	Our officers fought valiantly using batons, shields, chemical munitions, and pepperball guns to
