June 6th Show Recap

Lisa starts her show off by remembering an important day in history. This was the 65th Anniversary of D Day during World War II. People like Clark Cable, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, the actors in some of the great movies about WWII are gone. In history this is a violent day and many mistakes were made but valor from the Air Force and Army ultimately won in this invasion. She discusses the cemetery that was established for those who died on the beaches of France. There are 9,387 US graves in Normandy and the American government maintains the 172 acres of land donated by France.

Lisa Wexler continues her show by talking about the President in Cairo and his speech. He talked in an honest way in some parts of the speech, but it was also clear he had to pander a bit to his audience. It will mean a lot more when these words are spoken by an Arab leader to their own people. He also went to Saudi Arabia which is not a democracy, and where women are not allowed to vote. And you can’t even get into this country if your passport is stamped from Israel. Did you listen to the speech?

Lisa continues talking about Obama and his trip to Germany. He met with Angela Merkel the elected Prime Minister. She is a brave woman apologizing and standing at Buchenwald with Elie Wiesel, who wrote the book “Night”, and who incidentally lost all his money to Madoff. Keep the image in your brain of them, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Elie Wiesel standing in Buchenwald. An extraordinary moment. Hitler truly lost.

Lisa eventually turns to the topic about the GE share holders meeting in Florida. GE owns NBC. Some of the shareholders at the meeting asked about NBC being too kind to Obama, that they should treat Obama with the same tough questions as they ask the Republicans. The Hollywood Reporter, owned by Nielson, said ads were pulled for 6 weeks when GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt ordered Jeffrey Zucker to do so. The Hollywood Reporter gets its information access to report from MSNBC. GE called for a ban on one media to another!Lisa suggests that we are supposed to encourage free speech, and is very interested to see where this issue goes.

In a related story, Barney Frank of the Ways and Means committee said General Motors, now called Government Motors, said he didn’t want a specific GM plant to close in his (voting) district.

Lisa tuned in with Jennifer Rogers, psychic who offered listeners some insight as they called in for her on-air readings. She may also have a TV show in the future.

Lisa's in-studio guest was Charisse Lombardo of CLM Interiors in Ridgefield. She gave some tips that a professional eye can save aggravation and money when decorating. For example, don’t be afraid to paint swatches on your walls and see how they look for a few days before you decide; and don’t forget to measure (your room) when thinking about buying furniture. She works with her clients and wants them to feel comfortable with their choices. As she says, she doesn’t have live in your home when the project is done, so make sure it feels like you.
