20 分钟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.
