April 7, 2024 / 12:04 PM EDT / CBS News The following is a transcript of an interview with Rep. French Hill, Republican of Arkansas, that aired on April 7, 2024. MARGARET BRENNAN: And we go now to Arkansas and Republican Congressman French Hill, who joins us from Little Rock. Good morning to you, Congressman. REP. FRENCH HILL: Good morning, Margaret. Good to be with you. MARGARET BRENNAN: I have a lot of topics to get to, but are you open as a Republican to helping to vote to get help to Baltimore to rebuild with federal dollars? REP. HILL: Well, we had a serious collapse of the Interstate 40 bridge over the Mississippi River in Memphis and so I’m completely supportive of states working with the federal government to get the bridge back up and open as soon as possible. Naturally, there’s a role for insurance, private settlement with the companies and parties responsible. And then the traditional federal-state split for infrastructure program. So whatever it takes to get it done in the right way and get the bridge back functioning for the people

Why Luke Kunin has become one of the Sharks’ most valuable players

SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier fielded calls before the NHL trade deadline on a handful of players who remained under team control past this season, including pending restricted free agent Luke Kunin. Although Grier decided to trade Tomas Hertl last month, there was little chance he was going to deal Kunin, a player who helps set the competitive standard for a Sharks team that will be bringing in a handful of young players over the next few years. “Those guys bring a lot of value to us, especially as we start to bring in some of these young players,” Grier said on March 8 of Kunin, Nico Sturm, and Mikael Granlund. “Those guys have expressed an interest in being here and helping us turn this around and working with young players.” Kunin demonstrated his value in that regard again Saturday night. With his team perhaps needing a bit of an emotional lift in a scoreless game against St. Louis, Kunin in the second period buried top-line winger Jake Neighbours against the boards right in front of the Blues’ bench.

‘Finish the Ride’ event at Griffith Park raising awareness about street safety in Los Angeles

“Finish the Ride” has hundreds of cyclists descending upon Griffith Park on Sunday to raise awareness about street safety in Los Angeles.  The event, hosted by non-profit roadway safety organization Streets are For Everyone, is part of a weekend of festivities and is being held one day after their “Finish the Run” event.  According to SAFE Executive Director Damian Kevitt, around 1,300 people participated in Saturday’s walk/run and another group of more than 800 is expected to turn out for the bicycling event on Sunday.  California is giving up to $150,000 to help first-time homebuyers Kevitt founded SAFE after he himself was struck by a vehicle while cycling through Griffith Park in Feb. 2013, he told KTLA 5’s Olivia de Bortoli. The driver never stopped and was never caught, Kevitt said.  “I was hit, pinned underneath the car and dragged nearly a quarter of a mile down the street and onto the 5 Freeway at freeway speeds…my right leg was ripped off [and I lost] about 20 pounds of flesh in two minutes,” he said. “But that started this journey on advocacy that became this

Federal authorities in Riverside investigating Olivet University

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Riverside is conducting a criminal investigation into Olivet University in Anza and is up against a statute of limitation to file any criminal charges, according to a court document. Since at least April 2021, Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, confirmed it has been investigating allegations of money laundering, human labor trafficking and fraud at the private Christian college founded in 2004 by David Jang, a Korean Christian pastor and professor.

Allegations of human labor trafficking at Olivet also surfaced in a lawsuit filed in Riverside County Superior Court in February by four former Olivet students, who name Jang and college President Matthias Gebhardt as defendants, along with five others who were all employees at the university or served on its Board of Trustees when the former students were enrolled. At Olivet’s request, the case was moved to federal court last month, and on Tuesday, April 2, attorneys on both sides jointly filed a stipulation in court proposing the

California Jam rock festival drew 200,000 to Ontario 50 years ago

Hold those lighters aloft: Fifty years ago this weekend, 200,000 rock fans descended on Ontario for California Jam, a one-day music festival on the grounds of the Ontario Motor Speedway. The April 6, 1974 event — ticket price: $10 — had this concert lineup, in order of appearance: Rare Earth; Earth, Wind and Fire; the Eagles with guest Jackson Browne; Seals and Crofts; Black Oak Arkansas; Black Sabbath, led by Ozzy Osbourne; Deep Purple; and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. If you’re keeping track, that’s two names with “Earth,” two with “Black” and one with “Purple.” Plus one “Browne.” Imagine 200,000 people — essentially the entire present-day population of Fontana, and more than double a Coachella Festival weekend — gathering in Ontario for a rock festival. At the time, California Jam was said to have been the largest one-day gathering in state history. ABC Entertainment produced Cal Jam and aired highlights over four nights. Showbiz professionals put on this rock festival, not idealistic amateurs. There were no breakout stars or touchstone cultural moments. Some, like reader Ron Vander Molen of Pomona, fondly recall how Keith Emerson

Oregon Powerball player wins a $1.3 billion jackpot, ending more than 3 months without a grand prize

Sunday, April 7, 2024 1:04PM A person in Oregon has won the $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot after Saturday’s drawing delay. A Powerball player in Oregon won a jackpot worth more than $1.3 billion on Sunday, ending a winless streak that had stretched more than three months. The single ticket matched all six numbers drawn to win the jackpot worth $1.326 billion, Powerball said in a statement. The jackpot has a cash value of $621 million if the winner chooses to take a lump sum rather than an annuity paid over 30 years, with an immediate payout followed by 29 annual installments. The prize is subject to federal taxes, while many states also tax lottery winnings. The winning numbers drawn early Sunday morning were: 22, 27, 44, 52, 69 and the red Powerball 9. Until the latest drawing, no one had won Powerball’s top prize since New Year’s Day, amounting to 41 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner, tying a streak set twice before in 2022 and 2021. The $1.326 billion prize ranks as the eighth largest in U.S. lottery history. As the prizes grow, the

Cómo tomar una foto del eclipse sin dañar tu teléfono

¿Interesado en tomar una foto del próximo eclipse solar del lunes sin arruinar tu teléfono inteligente? A continuación se ofrecen algunos consejos. Y recuerde: no mire al sol a simple vista, ya que corre el riesgo de sufrir daños oculares permanentes. No apuntes la lente de la cámara de tu teléfono al sol durante largos periodos de tiempo sin un filtro especial Incluir casualmente el sol en una foto para obtener una instantánea rápida no es realmente un problema de seguridad para la cámara. No es tan diferente de las muchas fotografías que normalmente tomamos de amaneceres y atardeceres. “Pero no recomendamos apuntar directamente al sol durante períodos prolongados sin filtro”, según el equipo de cámaras Pixel de Google. “No hay realmente un caso de daño allí, siempre que no intentes hacer nada gracioso como simplemente dejarlo ahí con la cámara abierta durante mucho tiempo”, dijo Ed Krupp, director del Observatorio Griffith durante mucho tiempo. Krupp sugirió tomar vistas de gran angular con un teléfono inteligente; el sol en la foto parecerá pequeño, “pero tienes el paisaje alrededor”. Para tomas cercanas, coloque gafas para eclipses
