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.
