We Saw the Devil: Unfiltered Political Analysis

Written by: We Saw the Devil
Listen for free

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.

  • The Week Every Guardrail Fell: Massie, AIPAC, the Slush Fund, Cuba, and Spencer Freaking Pratt

    The Week Every Guardrail Fell: Massie, AIPAC, the Slush Fund, Cuba, and Spencer Freaking Pratt
    May 21 2026
    Thirty-four million dollars.

    That's what it costs to buy a congressional seat in America. Not rent. Buy. Outright. Like a foreclosure auction, except the property is a democracy and the bidders live in a different country.

    This week, Thomas Massie, a seven-term Republican who voted with Trump 94% of the time, was primaried out of Congress in the most expensive House primary in U.S. history. His crime? Pushing the Epstein files. Fighting the war in Iran. Introducing a bill to make AIPAC register as a foreign agent. His replacement is a man with no public platform, no public birthday, and $34 million in outside money from pro-Israel lobbying groups and three billionaires who have never been to Kentucky.

    Meanwhile: The DOJ created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that could pay out January 6th defendants, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers, and gave Trump permanent IRS audit immunity as a bonus. Two Capitol Police officers are suing to shut it down.
    The Trump administration indicted 94-year-old Raul Castro on Cuban Independence Day at Miami's Freedom Tower, directly next to the future Trump Library, in the middle of an oil blockade that has left Cuba without electricity and healthcare. Justice or political theater? (We both know the answer.)

    The Senate finally advanced a war powers resolution on Iran. On its eighth try. The House still can't get it done by one vote. The guy who led the fight just lost his seat.

    Spencer Pratt, the villain from The Hills, is running for Mayor of Los Angeles. His campaign is staffed by MAGA operatives. He compared himself to Obama. We need to talk about it.

    This episode breaks down who paid for what, who benefits, and what it means that every single institutional guardrail designed to prevent authoritarian consolidation is either neutralized, captured, or under active assault.


    TIMESTAMPS:
    00:00 | Cold Open: The $34 million hit job on Thomas Massie and the MTG quote that should terrify everyone.
    02:15 | Housekeeping: Socials, Patreon, and a warning that this is a heavy one.
    04:00 | The Indictment That Isn't: The DOJ indicts 94-year-old Raul Castro at a staged ceremony next to the Trump Library. On Cuban Independence Day. During an oil blockade.
    14:00 | The Most Expensive Hit Job in American History: AIPAC, three billionaires, and $34 million to destroy the last Republican who asked questions about Epstein and the war.
    26:00 | The $1.776 Billion Loyalty Bonus: Trump's taxpayer-funded slush fund for insurrectionists. Two Capitol Police officers are suing to shut it down.
    34:00 | The Eighth Time Is Sort of the Charm: The Senate finally advances a war powers resolution on Iran. The House still can't. The guy who led the fight just lost his seat.
    40:00 | The Villain Arc Nobody Asked For: Spencer Pratt is running for Mayor of Los Angeles. His campaign is staffed by MAGA operatives. He compared himself to Obama.
    46:00 | The Good Murdoch: James Murdoch buys New York Magazine, Vox.com, and the Vox podcast network. It might actually be good news.
    51:00 | Reality Check: Who benefits, what's gone, and why the exhaustion is the strategy. Count the guardrails.

  • Ballrooms, Boner Docs, and the Biggest Heist in American History.

    Ballrooms, Boner Docs, and the Biggest Heist in American History.
    May 18 2026
    $1.7 billion of your taxes to January 6th rioters, including convicted child sex offenders, from a secret fund the president controls. A billion-dollar ballroom and a 250-foot "Arc de Trump" next to Arlington Cemetery. The hantavirus response led by a penile implant specialist whose YouTube show was called "Erection Connection." The FDA run by Don Jr.'s turkey hunting buddy. The FBI director snorkeling over dead soldiers at Pearl Harbor. The Supreme Court killed the Voting Rights Act and the DOJ is collecting voter rolls from nine states. Trump sold out Taiwan in Beijing, told you he doesn't think about your financial situation, then posted 28 AI-generated images of himself as a military commander at 2 a.m. before threatening to destroy Lauren Boebert for insufficient loyalty. Cult deprogramming experts are now publishing guides for talking to MAGA relatives. Storm the Capitol, get a check. Film ICE, get a 3 a.m. raid.

    It's been a wild week. Let's talk about it.

  • You’re Not Crazy. That’s the Point.

    You’re Not Crazy. That’s the Point.
    May 15 2026
    You know that feeling where you read a headline and your brain glitches? Where you think, "Didn't they literally say the opposite of this yesterday? On camera? With their face hole?"

    You're not imagining it. And you're not losing your mind.

    In this episode, Robin breaks down the documented, studied, historically proven strategy behind the constant contradictions coming out of Washington. This isn't incompetence. This isn't "mixed messaging." This is a destabilization tactic.


    She's covering:
    1. The RAND Corporation's "Firehose of Falsehood" propaganda model and why it works
    2. How the Trump administration's shifting, contradictory statements on the Iran war are a textbook case of managed chaos
    3. The Truth Default Theory: Why your brain is hardwired to believe authority figures even when you consciously know they're lying
    4. Learned helplessness: the psychology experiment from the 1960s
    5. Why "I just don't follow politics anymore" is what they want.
    6. Who profits from your confusion
    7. How to stay connected

    This is not a news roundup episode. Also, you're not too sensitive. You're not too political. You're not too online. You are on the receiving end of an actual strategic choice. Let's talk about it.
