We Saw the Devil: Unfiltered Political Analysis

We Saw the Devil: Unfiltered Political Analysis

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 bullshit 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. No filter. Just facts. We don't do fair. We do factual. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.

***This episode is not edited as it was recorded directly after Donald Trump's speech***


Donald Trump went on primetime television to tell the country that America’s elections are compromised. A few hours earlier, Stephen Miller gave a much quieter speech at the State Department that was far more alarming. While Trump ranted about voter fraud, voting machines, China, mail ballots and election “security,&rdquo...

Lindsey Graham died Saturday night. He was 71. His office says a brief and sudden illness. The 911 dispatch audio says chest pains, a locked door, and CPR in progress. So this week I'm doing the obituary nobody on cable will touch: his real record on Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Gaza, the Confederate flag, Stand Your Ground, and voting rights. Plus the Laura Loomer poisoning conspiracy theories, Nancy Mace already eyeing his Senate se...

Graham Platner quit the Maine Senate race. He just forgot the one part that legally counts: filing the paperwork. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell has been in a hospital for almost a month with no photo, no diagnosis, and no proof of life beyond phone calls vouched for by men who want his job. Colorado Republicans nominated a governor candidate who will not say how many people he has killed. ICE shot a 52 year old grandfather on his way ...

Graham Platner was beating Susan Collins in the Maine Senate race. Then Jenny Racicot went on the record with Politico and CNN alleging he raped her in 2021, backed by therapist emails, texts, and disclosures that predate his campaign by years.

Within 24 hours, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ro Khanna, Chuck Schumer, and the Maine Democratic Party all told him to get out. He denies everything. And he has until July 13 to...

America turned 250 and the party flopped.

ecord 102 degree heat, a lightning evacuation of the National Mall, and a president speaking to rows of empty chairs after 11 p.m., where he misquoted the Declaration of Independence at the document's own birthday party. Then came 850,000 fireworks, a Code Red air quality alert, briefly the worst air of any major city on Earth, and a 100+ post Truth Social meltdown featuring attacks...

    Today was not “Trump becomes king.” That’s too simple, too tidy, and frankly too flattering to the man currently dry-humping a football he doesn’t realize is on a leash.

    On this episode of We Saw the Devil, Robin breaks down the Supreme Court’s decision day and the story most of the coverage is already getting wrong: Trump did gain power, yes. But the Court gained something bigger. It kept the k...

    Y'all. Wednesday was not a weird day for this administration. It was a normal day, and that is the whole problem.

    Donald Trump canceled a bipartisan housing bill that would have lowered rent for millions of people. He killed the signing ceremony hours before it happened because he wants Congress to pass the SAVE Act first. That is voter suppression dressed up as a national emergency. He is holding your housing relief ho...

    The most powerful man on the planet is eighty, bruised, posting in the dozens at 3 a.m., and nodding off by the afternoon. His Secretary of State looked at a video of him asleep and told Congress he was awake. Thirty-six doctors signed a warning into the Congressional Record and nothing happened. And every single person close enough to know the truth has a paycheck, a seat, or a legacy riding on telling you he's fine. This week Rob...

    America was supposed to turn 250 this year. One man turned it into his own 80th birthday party instead: a cage fight on the people's lawn, a beer sponsor, party lights bright enough to blind a pilot on approach, and a twelve-thousand-dollar coin with his face on one side and We the People on the other.

    Trump turned America's 250th birthday, the country's semiquincentennial, into a $60 million UFC cage fight on the White House South Lawn for his own 80th birthday. This episode of We Saw the Devil breaks down the entire Freedom 250 disaster: the pay-per-view cage match, the beer and crypto sponsors, the commemorative coin with his face on it, and the party lights that nearly blinded a pilot landing at Reagan National.

    The "party of life" is not hypocritical. It's selective.

    And this week, the receipts are overwhelming.

    North Carolina Republicans filed House Bill 1232, the "Human Life Protection Act," a constitutional amendment defining life at fertilization that would classify abortion as first-degree murder and authorize deadly force to "protect" a fertilized egg. Legal analysts warn the bill could ban IVF statewide.
