# Douchebag Disneyland > The Trump administration declares war on the press corps while globalist elites in Davos simulate the refugee experience from the comfort of their luxury enclave. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 897 - **Published:** 2017-01-22 - **Length:** 3h 5m - **Topics:** [Sean Spicer](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/sean-spicer.md), [Women's March](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/women-s-march.md), [George Soros](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/george-soros.md), [Davos](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/davos.md), Robot Rights, CIA Files, [Keith Olbermann](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/keith-olbermann.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/897-douchebag-disneyland ## About this episode White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer launched a blistering offensive against the media following the inauguration of Donald Trump, specifically targeting The New York Times and Time Magazine for reporting on crowd sizes and the alleged removal of a Martin Luther King Jr. bust. The administration’s aggressive stance at the podium signaled a shift toward active press-shaming, while the President’s visit to CIA headquarters at Langley drew sharp rebukes from pundits like Gloria Borger who labeled the appearance a desecration of hallowed ground. In Washington, the Women’s March drew massive crowds and sparked controversy as Madonna spoke of blowing up the White House and Ashley Judd performed the Nasty Woman poem. Financial ties between billionaire George Soros and over 50 march partners surfaced via reports from Asra Nomani, while pro-life feminist groups were stripped of their partnership status. Meanwhile, in Koblenz, Marine Le Pen and European populist leaders gathered to challenge the globalist status quo, and the World Economic Forum in Davos faced ridicule for hosting a refugee simulation for the billionaire elite. From the high-wind warnings at Bergstrom Airport to the seasonal cedar fever gripping Austin, the local atmosphere mirrors the national turbulence. Keith Olbermann has officially rebranded his opposition as The Resistance, a move that puts him in direct branding competition with Alex Jones. Between the digital latency of modern cable boxes and the European Parliament’s draft report on the legal personhood of robots, the intersection of technology and control remains a primary concern. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
