  • Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast for Wednesday January 21st, 2026.

  • I'm Miles Parks and I cover voting.

  • I'm Danielle Kurtzleben.

  • I cover the White House.

  • And I'm Domenico Montanero, senior political editor and correspondent.

  • And we are recording this podcast at 12.20 p.m.

  • just a few hours after President Trump addressed the World Economic Forum meeting of business officials and world leaders in Davos,

  • Switzerland.

  • And ahead of this speech, Danielle,

  • the White House was framing this as a speech on affordability that he was going to address a thing that that is on many voters' minds,

  • the rising cost of living in America.

  • But I gather he hit a lot more than that.

  • Yes, which is not surprising if you ever listened to a Trump speech, which I know we all have.

  • I've heard a few, yeah.

  • Yeah, I mean, as have our listeners probably.

  • Yeah, because he always goes in many, many different directions, which is something he did here.

  • And I mean, first of all,

  • One striking thing was that he got into a lot of sort of campaign speech territory.

  • He railed against Ilhan Omar, the Democratic representative from Minnesota.

  • He insulted Somalia and Somali people.
