On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Federalist Senior Editor and RightForge Co-Founder Christopher Bedford joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss why 47 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to codify same-sex marriage, how the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision ushered in a new era of cultural battles, and why Republicans on Capitol Hill should speak up about the importance of marriage and family.
Remember this number: 988. The new three-digit hotline is now the 911 equivalent for mental health emergencies. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people in the U.S., according to the National Institute of Mental Health. And experts say the pandemic, racial violence and political unrest are behind an uptick in suicides across the country. That’s why last weekend’s launch of the nationwide mental health crisis hotline couldn’t come soon enough.
Today, as part of “For Your Mind,” Los Angeles Times’ new initiative exploring mental health from multiple angles, we talk about the hopes and challenges ahead for the 988 hotline. Will it help fundamentally change how the U.S. treats and considers mental health, or will it fail like so many efforts before it? Read the full transcript here.
Host: Gustavo Arellano
Guests: Jaclyn Cosgrove, assistant editor at the Los Angeles Times and manager of “For Your Mind”
The January 6th committee makes its case against President Trump. President Biden recovering from COVID. Candidate for Governor attacked on stage. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.
Can British farmers transform themselves into carbon-cutting heroes? Arable farmer, Duncan Farrington has worked hard to reduce the carbon emissions from his farm. He's replanted hedges and trees and cut down on diesel-powered machinery. He's even persuaded some of his staff to cycle to work. But Duncan's farm isn't just zero carbon, it's actually sucking in and locking up vast quantities of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Duncan explains to Tom how he's transformed the management of his soil and proven to doubters that commercial British arable farms can play their part in cutting the planet's carbon emissions.

Last night, the committee investigating the events of January 6th 2021 said that Donald Trump’s failure to stop his supporters’ attack was a “dereliction of duty”. The evidence was strong; whether it will change anything remains unclear. We examine the thinking behind the European Central Bank’s surprise half-point rise in interest rates. And the money motivations of Bangladesh’s loosening booze laws.
Saksham Sharda likes to make short films, or anything that is related to videos. In fact, he has narrowed that down to creating trailers, which he attributes to being in the right role in marketing. He's always active in making social media clips, and is always recording everything (even the most boring moments, in his words).
The founders of Saksham's current venture started out building an estimator for what it would take to build an app. This estimator became very popular, and they figured they should build a platform to enable others to make their own.
FaZe Clan is a video game team that now has a publicly traded stock. Amazon just jumped into your doctor’s office by acquiring One Medical (“paging Dr. Bezos”). And AT&T stock had its worst day in 20 years because you paid your phone bill a day late… and so did everyone else.
