Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
On Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, it's not so much we get to talk to celebrities, it's that we get to talk to celebrities about other celebrities, like we did with actor Nathan Lane. I remember having to tell George C. Scott that I was leaving the show to do this musical, and he said to me, you're leaving me to do a f***ing magic show?

Chapter 2: What recent changes did President Trump announce regarding global tariffs?
President Trump Saturday raised the new global tariff rate on goods entering the U.S. to 15 percent. He announced an initial 10 percent tariff on Friday, hours after the Supreme Court ruling that struck down his previous tariff packages. Some people and organizations are applauding the court's decision, but others are more skeptical.
Harrison Elmore is chief operating officer of Luxury Pergola in Noblesville, Indiana. He says despite the ruling, he doesn't expect many changes.

A powerful winter storm is expected to bring blizzard conditions and power outages along the East Coast starting later today. As NPR's Selina Simmons-Duffin reports, the hardest hit area is predicted to stretch from New Jersey to southern New England.
The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings for millions of residents in Long Island, New York City, and southern Connecticut through Monday afternoon. The winter storm that's brewing off the mid-Atlantic coast will bring heavy, wet snow that's expected to come down quickly for many hours, creating hazardous travel conditions.
High winds are also expected, which increase the risk of power outages and coastal flooding. The National Weather Service is advising people who live in the path of the storm to stock up on three days' worth of non-perishable food, water, and medications, charge phones, and ensure there are warm clothes, blankets, and a first aid kit available.
