  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Unapologetic. Unfiltered. Unafraid. Like NPR if NPR was an angry woman that said "f*ck it" and meant it. This is politics the way it actually happens: raw power plays, broken systems, and the daily chaos coming out of Washington and statehouses across the country. No both-sides theater. No corporate talking points. Just sharp, evidence-based breakdowns of the stories that shape your life, your wallet, and your future. If you’re exhausted by polite pundits and hungry for someone who will call the b******t exactly what it is, subscribe and join the conversation. Hosted by Robin, We Saw the Devil cuts through the noise, propaganda, performative outrage, and both-sides nonsense to talk about what’s actually happening in American politics, power, corruption, extremism, civil rights, media failures, and the people using democracy like it’s a rental car they never planned to return. Although left-leaning, this is not a polite little politics show for people who want everything softened, centered, and served with a bipartisan garnish. We Saw the Devil is sharp, furious, researched, and allergic to pretending cruelty is just another “perspective.” Like NPR if NPR was an angry woman that said "f*ck it" and meant it. No spin.

    F*ck Your Guardrails: Redistricting, Counterterrorism, and the Week Democracy Died

    The Voting Rights Act is dead and they killed it in three days. Tennessee gutted its only Black-majority district. Alabama's House Speaker called for overturning the 14th Amendment. On camera. Virginia threw out a voter-approved redistricting plan. The new counterterrorism strategy puts trans people in the same threat category as ISIS. The Pentagon dumped 162 blurry UFO files.

    Anti-Abortion Defectors, Anti-Pope Tantrums, And Anti-Reality Press Briefings

    This week on We Saw the Devil, Robin tears through the most chaotic news cycle of the second Trump administration so far. Donald Trump told a White House crowd he'll be in office "eight or nine years from now," and they applauded. Politico reports the President personally offered Senator John Fetterman a "financial windfall" to switch parties (usually a bag of cash), on the record, while a sitting US senator "absorbed the suggestion." Trump publicly accused Pope Leo XIV of "endangering Catholics" with his pro-peace stance on the Iran war, sending Marco Rubio to Rome on damage control. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser told the Wall Street Journal flat out: "Trump is the problem. The president is the problem." Robin breaks down Operation Epic Fury, Project Freedom, and the Strait of Hormuz standoff Pete Hegseth insists is "not a ceasefire violation" while Iran sinks ships and the UAE shoots down Iranian missiles. The Senate's $1 billion taxpayer giveaway for Trump's East Wing ballroom, the Supreme Court's gutting of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, RFK Jr.'s campaign to "deprescribe" antidepressants, the closure of the ICE Detention Ombudsman office, the eight Republican AGs arguing in federal court that Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is unconstitutional, and the hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic that nobody at HHS is equipped to track. Pour something strong. We're going in.

    The War is "Over," Infowars Died on a Thursday, Mifepristone Died on a Friday, and the SPLC Is on Trial for the Crime of Giving a Sh*t

    The president had 60 days to ask Congress for permission to keep fighting a war with Iran. Today was the deadline. He didn't ask. He sent a letter saying the war is "terminated," while 50,000 troops remain deployed, the naval blockade continues, oil sits at $118 a barrel, gas is at $4.12, and the Secretary of Defense told the world he could resume strikes "at the push of a button." Meanwhile, his sons signed a Pentagon drone deal. The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. The Fifth Circuit blocked mifepristone from being mailed anywhere in the country. A whistleblower revealed the DOJ rushed the SPLC indictment. Infowars went dark forever. The new surgeon general nominee has spent years publicly calling out RFK Jr. And the owner of Politico told his journalists to support Israel or resign. Robin breaks down the entire week: the War Powers Resolution deadline and why Trump's "ceasefire means the war is over" argument is constitutionally indefensible. The Trump family drone company Powerus and how Don Jr. and Eric are positioned to profit from their father's unauthorized war. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling eviscerating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the DOJ's gleeful "we are ON IT" response, and the state-by-state domino effect already underway in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and beyond. The Fifth Circuit's nationwide ruling blocking mail-order mifepristone and what it means for abortion access in every state. The SPLC whistleblower who says Associate Deputy AG Aakash Singh ordered prosecutors to rush a weak indictment against a civil rights organization for the crime of infiltrating white supremacist groups. Casey Means getting pulled and Nicole Saphier's history of criticizing Kennedy's anti-vaccine empire. Alex Jones' slurred champagne farewell and The Onion's plan to turn Infowars into a parody of itself. Axel Springer CEO Mathias Dopfner demanding Politico journalists back Israel or leave. And the DNC burying its own autopsy to protect Kamala Harris' 2028 bid. This is what a single week looks like when every guardrail fails at once. New episode. We Saw the Devil.

    Everything Is Evidence When the Target Is Chosen First: Comey, Kimmel, Assassination Attempts, & Other Insane News From the Week

    The former FBI director is facing ten years in prison for a photo of seashells on a beach. The president posted an AI-generated photo of himself holding an assault rifle. One of them was indicted this week. Guess which one. Robin's is back after a week and a half off, and the country didn't hold it together. This episode covers everything: the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting and the third assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the James Comey 8647 seashell indictment and the staggering hypocrisy behind it, the Iran war escalation with oil at $118 a barrel and gas at $4.12, Pete Hegseth's disastrous congressional testimony, King Charles III's state visit to a country visibly falling apart, Trump's threat to pull troops from Germany, the Jimmy Kimmel "expectant widow" controversy and the FCC's move against ABC, and the acting attorney general who used to be Trump's personal defense lawyer now running political prosecutions out of the DOJ. Robin pulls the receipts on every Republican who used "86" with zero consequences: Jack Posobiec tweeting "86 46," Matt Gaetz bragging about "86-ing" party leadership, Paul Gosar's anime assassination video, Trump's hogtied Biden truck video, and the thousands of "8646" products still for sale on Amazon, while James Comey faces a federal indictment for arranging shells on a beach.This is what selective prosecution looks like. This is what a weaponized justice system looks like. And this is what happens when you leave the country unsupervised for ten days.

    The People v. Not All Men (plus Iran War news of the week)

    This week broke something in me. Not one story...all of them. Every headline involved a man who could not handle his own power, his own entitlement, his own rage, or his own liquor. So I'm doing something different. I'm entering them into evidence. Five exhibits. One trial. One verdict. EXHIBIT A: I posted "not all men, right?" on Instagram after the CNN rape academy investigation. A man showed up in my comments within minutes to tell me I was painting him out to be a predator. Nobody said his name. Nobody tagged him. He told on himself for free. We start here. EXHIBIT B: FBI Director Kash Patel's security detail had to request breaching equipment... SWAT gear...because they couldn't wake him up behind a locked door. He was allegedly too drunk. This has happened multiple times. We are at war with Iran. The man in charge of domestic counterterrorism is unreachable at 3 AM. Sleep well. EXHIBIT C: The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump threw such a prolonged screaming tantrum during an active military rescue operation that his own aides removed him from the briefing room. He then celebrated Easter by posting profanity-laced threats on Truth Social, signed "Praise be to Allah," and asked his staff "how's it playing?" He is also feuding with the Pope. The Pentagon threatened the Vatican. An Israeli soldier took a sledgehammer to a statue of Jesus in Lebanon. EXHIBIT D: Eric Swalwell: progressive Democrat, Women's March attendee, co-sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act — resigned from Congress after multiple women accused him of sexual assault, including drugging and rape. He used Snapchat because it auto-deletes. That is not a coincidence. EXHIBIT E: A man in Shreveport, Louisiana, murdered eight children this morning. Seven were his own. The youngest was eighteen months old. One was shot on the roof trying to escape. There have been 119 mass shootings in the United States this year. We are in April. The closing argument is a single question I need every woman listening to ask every man she knows. The answer is the verdict. Not all men. But every single week. New episode. Available now. Share it with the man who needs to hear it.

    The Bear Didn't Build a Rape Academy

    CNN spent months undercover inside a network where men teach each other how to drug, rape, and film the assault of their own wives. The website at the center of it had 62 million visits in one month. Most from the US. It is still live. Robin breaks down the full investigation: the Telegram groups where thousands of men workshop sedative dosages and livestream assaults for paying audiences. Why perpetrators are choosing Ambien specifically because it doesn't show up on standard drug panels. The stories of three survivors, all assaulted by the men they were married to. The connection to the Gisèle Pelicot case. The radicalization pipeline from pick up artist culture to Red Pill ideology to Telegram rape groups to TikTok "training in case she says no" videos. Why Section 230 protects the platform. Why a 20 year old woman in Brazil was stabbed 50 times for declining a date. Why women on Threads are naming their rapists. And why the bear was right all along. If this episode hits you, share it. Send it to someone who needs to hear it. You know who. Robin doesn't do fair. Robin does factual.

    Trump Has Risen (from this nap), Eric Swalwell Resigns, & the Iran War

    Trump posted an AI image of himself as Jesus laying healing hands on a sick man, surrounded by bald eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and, why not, the Lincoln Memorial. Then he said it was "me as a doctor." Meanwhile the U.S. launched a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz that isn't stopping the ships it's supposed to stop; two members of Congress resigned in the same afternoon over sexual misconduct allegations; and Anthony Scaramucci, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Candace Owens are now on the same side of a constitutional question, which is how you know the timeline has officially lost the plot. Pope Leo, for the record, is unbothered.

    The Lost Girls of Ocean Parkway: The Gilgo Beach Killer

    **This episode is unedited On April 8th, 2026, Rex Heuermann, a 62-year-old Manhattan architect, husband, and father from Massapequa Park, pleaded guilty to murdering eight women on Long Island over a 17-year span. The Gilgo Beach case, one of the longest-running unsolved serial murder investigations in American history, is finally closed. This episode is about how it stayed open for 30 years. It's about Sandra Costilla, killed in 1993 and uncharged for three decades. About Karen Vergata, cataloged as Jane Doe Number 7 until 2022. About Melissa Barthelemy's 15-year-old sister, who got phone calls from Melissa's killer for five weeks after she disappeared. About the Suffolk County Police Department leadership that refused FBI help for over a decade because the chief of police was running his own federal cover-up. About a planning document recovered from a deleted hard drive, a basement vault containing 279 firearms, and a piece of pizza crust pulled from a Manhattan trash can that finally cracked the case open. -------------------- Keywords: Gilgo Beach Killer, Rex Heuermann, Long Island Serial Killer, Gilgo Beach murders, Rex Heuermann guilty plea, Long Island murders, Shannan Gilbert, Gilgo Four, Massapequa Park, Suffolk County murders, true crime podcast, serial killer podcast, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Lost Girls, Long Island serial killer arrest, Gilgo Beach victims, We Saw the Devil podcast Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.
