Thank you for listening to The John and Heidi 4 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.000 Show Bonus Hour. I'm excited to invite you to join us on Saturday. 5 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.239 We're going to be out at Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort, celebrating their 6 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.719 anniversary with them, and they do it in a really cool way. They've 7 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:34.240 got fireworks. It's coming up this Saturday, June tenth, and the winners 8 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.439 are the winners. I'm sorry the fireworks. I don't know what I'm talking 9 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.280 about. The fireworks are at dusk, so if you're out there at like 10 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.719 nine thirty, you'll be good to go. They might be a little closer 11 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.159 to ten it just make sure it gets dark out. And then again, 12 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.399 it's just a really really cool thing. We go every year and this is 13 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.799 one of our favorite things out there. And then in addition to that, 14 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.759 you can go inside and you can make a contribution to the Sioux Falls fireworks. 15 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.159 And I know it gets confusing because we're talking about fireworks that are happening 16 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.000 this week. And then fireworks that are happening on the fourth of July. 17 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.480 But it's two different things, but Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort is right 18 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.519 in the middle of both of them. So first of all, this Saturday 19 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.040 is their anniversary, so they do a fireworks show at Grand Falls Casino and 20 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.280 Golf Resort this Saturday night. And then in addition to that, they are 21 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.560 one of the supporters of the Sioux Falls Fireworks on the fourth of July. 22 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.599 They have been involved for over a decade. They are the reason I got 23 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.760 involved. They reached out and said, hey, would you be interested in 24 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.000 helping with this? So we got involved, and then in twenty twenty we 25 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.560 actually set up we took over the event, and then twenty twenty one we 26 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.040 set up our own nonprofit, Sioux Falls Fireworks and Community Events. So again, 27 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.959 thank you to the good folks at Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort for 28 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.200 getting us involved in that. And it's been so much fun to be a 29 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.799 part of that over the years. And again, if you get a chance 30 00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.159 coming up now all the way through July third, you can go to the 31 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.200 Resort Club at Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort donate ten dollars at the Resort 32 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.400 Club and they'll give that money to the fireworks on the fourth of July and 33 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:14.280 then you get ten dollars in free slot play, so you make a donation 34 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.080 and then they give that money back to you on your cards. You can 35 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.759 go out and gamble and hopefully win some big bucks again if you want to 36 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.080 do that with us. We're gonna be out there on Saturday evening enjoying a 37 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.080 wonderful dinner and then we're gonna go out and watch some fireworks. So coming 38 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.800 Out has some fun with us at Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort. I'm 39 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.639 not sure which band is playing this weekend, but they always have music there 40 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.439 in the center as well. It's just going to be a ton of fun. 41 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.199 So coming Out has some fun on us again. Their big anniversary party 42 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.919 is on the tenth, so that is happening this Saturday. And speaking of 43 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.960 music, did you see that Kevin Bacon is going to be there? Yeah? 44 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.159 Who, He's not gonna be there this week, He's gonna be there 45 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.080 a little bit later. It's Saturday, November eleventh, at eight pm. 46 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.800 The Bacon Brothers are coming to Grand Falls Casino. He and his brother Michael 47 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.599 Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon are the Bacon Brothers and a very very cool band. 48 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.560 And they've got a blend to fulk and rock and soul and country. 49 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.280 It's really kind of cool music. So if you get a chance, that's 50 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.719 coming up later in the air, but you can get your tickets now and 51 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.199 again, like I said, join us Saturday. We'll see you then Saturday 52 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.680 evening Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort. That's when they have their fireworks. 53 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.719 That's also when you can make a donation to the two false fireworks. If 54 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.719 I haven't completely confused, you just keep listening. I'll see if I can 55 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.479 do more. We've got John from Thanks to USA joining us in a moment. 56 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.199 What a year. With prices on everything going up, it's more important 57 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.560 than ever to have a better credit card. Some people use a credit card 58 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.039 that's not a very good one. At better credit cards dot Com, we 59 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.400 offer a variety of credit card options to fit your needs. Whether you want 60 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.879 a card to give you cash back or points and perks, or a credit 61 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.199 card to help you build your credit, we probably have it.

We have John Roses joining us. 64 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:06.719 He is the president and CEO at Thanks USA, and a lot of folks 65 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.879 listening are probably somewhat familiar. We play a PSA for Thanks USA. But 66 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.479 mister Rosa, how are you doing today? Sir? I'm doing great. 67 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.560 Thank you, appreciate your time. Absolutely, Let's talk a little more about 68 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.519 what you guys do at Thanks USA. I think it's an amazing organization. 69 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.120 Well, yeah, you know, at the end of the day, I'm 70 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.399 really just focused on two main objectives, and that is to provide our military 71 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:30.000 families the financial assistance they need to see their academic goals come come true and 72 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.959 to make sure they have the resources they need to secure a job in a 73 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.399 successful career. And you know, the mission is very very simple for us. 74 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.680 It's to show our gratitude and appreciations through education. And you know, 75 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.720 this very simple gift opens up the world of opportunities for our military families, 76 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.600 who, next to their service members, make great sacrifices for the freedoms we 77 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.639 enjoy today. And how long has thanks USA dot org and Thanks USA been 78 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.959 around. We've been around for a little over fifteen years and in that time, 79 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.040 we've been able to provide over fifteen million dollars scholarships to over five thousand 80 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:08.079 military families service members, and we just we're so honored to be great stewards 81 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.879 of these fronts because without the support of average, every day individuals who appreciate 82 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.519 what our service members do, we could never be able to do that. 83 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.519 And if people listening are thinking, boy, this sounds like a really neat 84 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.519 thing, how does that work? Do they make like a monthly pledge, 85 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.720 they make a one time donation? What does it usually look like for folks 86 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.839 that do reach out and give to Thanks USA? Well, there's there's a 87 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.160 wonderful number. There's wonderful number of ways for folks to support the usest ways 88 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:38.319 to visit our website at THANKSUSA dot org, and they're giving opportunities for direct 89 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.519 giving, whether a one time gift or a monthly gift. But we also 90 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.879 have several events and activities to get behind to be able to really get connected 91 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.720 directly with our scholars and the military families. You can see some of our 92 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:56.800 adaptive tennis programs we do with some of our disabled sets, and some other 93 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.920 things that we'll be doing throughout this year of the year but go ahead and 94 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.319 visit a website at thanks USA dot org and there's a ton of opportunities there 95 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.240 to get involved. And I'm on that site right now and it's pretty darn 96 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.720 simple. I can see where you can click to make a quick donation, 97 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.639 but you can also learn about scholarships. You can learn about pathways for patriots 98 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.519 and the different events that you guys have. Let's talk about the scholarships for 99 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.639 people who maybe have kids that are in school and they're, you know, 100 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.680 getting to that age where it's about time to start thinking about that. What 101 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:29.639 are the requirements for the scholarships through thanks USA. So our program is it's 102 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:35.319 pretty straightforward. We provide academic scholarships to the sons and daughters of Post nine 103 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.319 to eleven military veterans, so that if you fall in with that large range 104 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.040 and spouses accuse me, sons, daughters and spouses, so there dependants well 105 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.240 be eligible for a scholarship. Now, we're different than some scholarship programs, 106 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.439 and I think this is important to point out. We certainly do look at 107 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.879 the academic performance, the involvement in community, but we also look at something 108 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.680 that I think is very important, which is sort of the character of services. 109 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.399 What has your life been like because of military service? What is it? 110 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.079 How has that challenged you? How has that made you better? And 111 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:11.720 so our scholarship program is really designed to recognize those who quietly and silently you 112 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.839 really make great sacrifices. And our programs you apply once a year or a 113 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:21.959 scholarship program, and we are able to receive about twenty five hundred applications a 114 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.360 year. And for those that we are able to provide financial scholarships for, 115 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.160 it's fantastic. But for those that we aren't able to we also have a 116 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.600 fantastic program called Pathways for Patriots, and our Pathways for Patriots program is really 117 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:42.040 designed to connect our family members and service members in many cases with experts in 118 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.399 their fields. So if you're looking to advance your career or get into a 119 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.480 looking how to be more competitive in school or your job, or to learn 120 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:54.800 more about how to be how to conduct yourself well in the COVID world, 121 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.800 we have courses and the membership mentorship programs or what we call it Pathfinder program 122 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.839 that goes on throughout every month. We have several sessions, so it's a 123 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.040 great way for military families to connect with each other and to be able to 124 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.360 kind of a loop forward and advance along. There's between their careers as well 125 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.920 well. I think what you're doing is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much 126 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.600 for taking the time to chat with us today, but also thank you for 127 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.839 Thanks USA.

Time now for this day in Sioux Falls history, brought 138 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.440 to you by the Sioux Falls Fun Page and Sunny ninety three point three. 139 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.159 It was on this day, June eighth, nineteen ninety three, after Rock 140 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.960 in the House at the Sioux Falls Arena, Aerosmith performs a legendary after party 141 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.759 set in the wee hours of the morning at an iconic bar called the Pomp 142 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.679 Room in downtown Sioux Falls. It's debated whether the event was scheduled or not, 143 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.639 with most sticking to the story that Aerosmith crashed the Pomp Room and took 144 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.159 over for the night, to the complaint of absolutely no one, including the 145 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.960 local band that was nonstage when Aerosmith showed up, the event would have been 146 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.440 just a fond memory and the hearts and minds of those present that night, 147 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.679 But an MTV camera crew happened to be with Aerosmith that night as well, 148 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.200 and a majority of the set can be enjoyed by all of us for eternity. 149 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.519 Although the event was special to everyone at the Pomp Room, things like 150 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.399 this had kind of become expected. For nearly thirty years on the northwest corner 151 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.440 of Eighth Street and Dakota Avenue, rock and roll lived and thrived at the 152 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.440 Pomp Room. From local bands to international superstars, they all rocked the Pomp 153 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.840 Room, which is now sadly a parking lot. This day in Sue Fall's 154 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.200 history has been brought to you by Sue Falls, funpage dot com and Sunny 155 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.120 ninety three point three.

Equity markets continue 164 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.759 to tread water as investors and traders wait on the next FOMC policy statement. 165 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.480 They're not expected to hike rates next week, but will remain hawkish and may 166 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.360 surprise the market with its phetoric. The takeaway is that the interest rates will 167 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.200 most likely remain high for an indefinite amount of time, which will have bearing 168 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.720 on stocks. With rates on treasuries above the S and P five hundred dividend 169 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.960 average, they pose a headwind to equity prices.
