The Daily Signal - Raised Democrat, Rep. Lauren Boebert Discusses Her Conversion to the Right
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.

This Machine Kills - 46. Banning Australia (ft. J.R. Hennessy)
After months of threats, Facebook finally hit the big red off button on the server labeled Australia and Google is making big backroom deals with media barons like Rupert Murdoch. To help us parse through the policy debates and online discourse about the Australian news media bargaining code, we’re joined by J.R. Hennessy (http://twitter.com/jrhennessy), editor of Business Insider Australia. Henno gives us a bigger picture of how the Internet has long left behind those heady days of a free and open utopia as we discuss the changing relationship between Big Tech and Big Media and the role of government regulation.

SCOTUScast - United States v. Briggs – Post-Decision SCOTUScast
On December 10, 2020 the Supreme Court decided United States v. Briggs. The question presented was whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces erred in concluding–contrary to its own longstanding precedent–that the Uniform Code of Military Justice allows prosecution of a rape that occurred between 1986 and 2006 only if it was discovered and charged within five years. Briggs argued on appeal that rape was not “punishable by death” and thus was subject to the five-year statute of limitations for non-capital crimes. The United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals (AFCCA) rejected his challenge, but upon appeal tp to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the C.A.A.F. reversed the lower court.
Justice Alito wrote for a 8-0 majority, finding that there was no statute of limitations for military rape. Justice Amy Coney Barrett took no part in the decision.
Arthur Rizer, Resident Senior Fellow at the R Street Institute, and Prof. Richard Sala, Assistant Professor of Law at the Vermont Law School, join us today to discuss this decision and its implications.

Consider This from NPR - Optimism About Case Rates, Vaccines, And Future Of The Pandemic
After more than 500,000 deaths and nearly a full year, experts say there are a growing number of reasons to be optimistic about the direction of the pandemic. Cases, hospitalizations and deaths have all fallen dramatically in recent weeks.
Among those falling numbers, a vaccine from Johnson & Johnson that may be authorized by the Food and Drug Administration this week. Dr. Ashish Jha of Brown University explains why the shot is just as desirable as already-authorized vaccines from Pzifer and Moderna.
Here's NPR's tool for how to sign up for a COVID-19 vaccination in your state.
The Biden administration has promised to ramp up vaccination efforts even more as soon as Congress authorizes more money to do so. NPR congressional correspondent Kelsey Snell has an update on the $1.9 trillion rescue package speeding through the House.
Additional reporting on the drop in COVID-19 case rates in this episode came from NPR's Allison Aubrey and Will Stone.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
