Description

We Saw the Devil is the podcast that refuses to separate murder from power, violence from policy, and crime from the systems that create it. Hosted by Robin, a veteran true crime researcher and political commentator, We Saw the Devil digs into the cases that expose the rot at the heart of American institutions. This isn't your typical true crime podcast. We don't just ask "who did it" — we ask who allowed it, who covered it up, who profited, and whose bodies are always the ones that end up in the ground. From serial killers protected by police to political violence disguised as law enforcement, from cold cases buried by corruption to state sanctioned murder carried out in broad daylight — We Saw the Devil connects the dots between crime, politics, and power that other podcasts won't touch. What makes this show different: Every case exists within systems — police departments, courts, prisons, immigration enforcement, political machines. We examine those systems. Cases others won't cover. Police killings. Political assassinations. Government adjacent violence. Crimes committed by the powerful against the powerless. Deep research, not just Wikipedia. Court documents. FOIA requests. Original interviews. First person sources. We do the work. No cop worship. We respect victims and survivors. We don't lionize law enforcement or assume the official story is true. Intersections of crime and politics. How true crime and political crime overlap: corruption, cover ups, state violence, and the bodies left behind. Episodes covered: Cold cases and unsolved murders Serial killers and the systems that enabled them Police violence and law enforcement killings Political crimes and government corruption Missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) Immigration enforcement and border deaths Wrongful convictions and prosecutorial misconduct Historical true crime with modern political resonance Breaking cases with political dimensions If you believe that true crime isn't just entertainment, that understanding violence means understanding power...this is your podcast.

The People v. Not All Men (plus Iran War news of the week)
2026/04/20
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
2026/04/17
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
2026/04/14
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
2026/04/13
**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-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.

Trump on Iran: "A Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight." (LOL Nevermind)
2026/04/08
At 8:03 a.m. Eastern on April 7, 2026, the President of the United States threatened to wipe out an 85-million-person civilization on Truth Social. By 6:32 p.m., he'd called the whole thing off because Pakistan asked him nicely. In between, a synagogue, a university, and 18 Iranian civilians were destroyed by US-Israeli airstrikes. The Pope called it "truly unacceptable." Eighty-five-plus House Democrats filed for impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene called for Trump's removal. And the ceasefire deal we agreed to gives Iran nearly every concession they've wanted from the United States since 1979...including reparations. In this episode, Robin breaks down the eleven points of the Iran ceasefire surrender, walks through the day Trump nearly committed war crimes on a Tuesday morning, and covers the parallel stories nobody is paying attention to: Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon despite the ceasefire, the ICE shooting on Interstate 5 in California, and the Department of Justice quietly assigning its Civil Rights Division to investigate Cassidy Hutchinson (the January 6th witness) for telling the truth on television four years ago. This episode covers: The "whole civilization will die tonight" Truth Social post and the ten-hour reversalPope Leo XIV's direct rebuke of the PresidentThe eleven-point Iran ceasefire deal, line by line, including reparations and recognition of Iranian nuclear enrichmentWhy the Lebanon war is still happening despite Pakistan's ceasefire announcementThe 85+ House Democrats now openly calling for impeachment or the 25th AmendmentThe ICE shooting in Patterson, California, and the "weaponized his vehicle" patternActing Attorney General Todd Blanche, the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and the Cassidy Hutchinson investigation Keywords: Trump Iran war, Iran ceasefire 2026, Trump civilization will die, Strait of Hormuz, Pope Leo XIV, Pope Leo Trump, 25th Amendment Trump, Trump impeachment 2026, Iran nuclear deal, Pakistan Iran mediation, Trump war crimes, Israel Lebanon war, Hezbollah ceasefire, US Iran reparations, Cassidy Hutchinson DOJ, Todd Blanche attorney general, January 6 investigation, ICE shooting California, Patterson California ICE, Marjorie Taylor Greene 25th Amendment, John Larson impeachment articles, JD Vance Hungary, war powers vote, Trump Truth Social, Middle East war 2026, Iran sanctions lifted, IAEA Iran, UN Security Council Iran, political podcast, news commentary podcast, left wing podcast, progressive podcast, Trump news, breaking political news, We Saw the Devil podcast Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.

What Would Jesus Tweet? Probably Not What Trump Did Today.
2026/04/06
The President of the United States woke up on Easter morning, skipped church, dropped an F-bomb, threatened to bomb civilian power plants on something he's calling "Power Plant Day" like it's a Hallmark holiday, said "Praise be to Allah" on the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and then went golfing. His spiritual advisor compared him to Jesus 48 hours earlier. Bonus episode just dropped because I physically could not keep my mouth shut today.

The Apprentice - The Patriarchy & War Crimes Edition (Plus Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem)
2026/04/04
Oh good, you're here. Buckle up, buttercup. Trump fired two women from his Cabinet in a month while the men who leaked classified intel and arrested the wrong guy in an assassination case are still gainfully employed and failing upward like it's an Olympic sport. Coincidence? Sure. And I have naturally black hair.  This week: Pam Bondi got dumped in four words in the back of a limousine. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth fired the Army Chief of Staff for refusing to block promotions of Black officers and women, replaced him with his own briefcase carrier, and is currently presiding over a war where Iran shot down a U.S. fighter jet TWO DAYS after Trump told the entire nation that Iran "has no anti-aircraft equipment." A crew member is still missing.  Also: Trump says America can't afford daycare because we're fighting wars. The war HE started.  $1.5 trillion for defense. $73 billion in cuts to health, education, and housing. Make it make sense. And we close with a segment on patriarchy, pick-me women, and why the system always eats the women who serve it most faithfully. Bondi. Noem. Every woman who thought she'd be the exception. Spoiler: there are no exceptions. There are only women who haven't been discarded yet. Happy Friday night episode, y'all. Everything is somehow worse. Let's go.

War Crimes and Tee Times: It's Only Monday
2026/03/31
This week, the line between reality and absurdity didn’t just blur, it packed a bag, told us it was going to the store for milk, and then left town.  We are in a war that we are very carefully not calling a war, which feels like when you eat an entire cake and say, “I didn’t eat it, I just emotionally processed it.” Meanwhile, the president is on the golf course, just out there living his best retired billionaire life, while the rest of the world is like, “Should we be panicking? Because it feels like we should be panicking.” At home, everything is also going great if your definition of “great” is “historically alarming.” The Supreme Court is about to weigh whether being born here still makes you American, which I thought we had locked down in the 1800s, but apparently we’re workshopping it again. Red states are passing laws about identity like they just discovered other people exist and took it personally. Political alliances are shifting in ways that make you go, “Wait, am I having a freaking stroke or is Marjorie Taylor Greene making sense right now?” And while all of this is happening, the propaganda war has entered its final form, which is memes. Not even good ones. Just… memes. Foreign adversaries are somehow better at talking to Americans than our own government, which is honestly embarrassing.  So this episode is about that. The collision of war, politics, media, and whatever this performance art version of reality has become. --------------------- politics, current events, US politics, Iran conflict, war analysis, propaganda, media literacy, misinformation, Donald Trump, Supreme Court, birthright citizenship, political satire, news commentary, geopolitics, foreign policy, digital propaganda, culture and politics, political podcast, societal trends, democracy, government accountability Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.

Just Do It: The Complete Unraveling of Shia LaBeouf
2026/03/28
***Apologies for the lack of voice. Robin is sick and has lost it This week we're taking a detour from the usual political hellscape to cover something that is, underneath the celebrity packaging, the exact same story: who gets protected, who gets discarded, and how the machine that hands powerful men unlimited second acts is the same machine running everything else we cover on this show. Shia LaBeouf is thirty-nine years old and currently facing three counts of simple battery in New Orleans, including allegedly punching a bartender, dislocating someone's nose, and headbutting a third person while shirtless during a four-day Mardi Gras bar crawl. His attorney's defense was "frankly, being drunk on Mardi Gras is not a crime." That's the legal strategy. Simultaneously, FKA Twigs (the Grammy-nominated artist Tahliah Barnett) has filed a new lawsuit arguing that the NDA inside her 2025 sexual battery settlement with LaBeouf is illegal under California's STAND Act, and that after she said publicly she didn't feel safe, LaBeouf secretly filed arbitration proceedings to extract money from her for saying it. She hired Mathew Rosengart (the attorney who freed Britney Spears) and she is not seeking money. She is seeking the legal right to describe her own life. This episode: the full legal timeline from 2005 to 2026, the Mia Goth relationship from the 2012 set of Nymphomaniac to the 2024 Pasadena 911 call, to the method acting culture that celebrates self-harm and calls it genius, the Honey Boy credit, the Catholic conversion with full ambivalence, and the redemption arc as a structure that serves perpetrators more reliably than survivors. Plus: why this episode exists, and why the same system protecting Shia LaBeouf is the same one that fired Megan Fox for comparing Michael Bay to Hitler, buried Tig Notaro for being right about Louis C.K. too early, and made Monica Lewinsky the punchline of a generation while the president who was actually in the room got two hundred thousand dollars a speech.

This Week's War News, Trump's Apocalypse, and the MAGA Cancel Cult Hypocrisy
2026/03/25
**This episode is raw and unedited Robert Mueller is dead at 81. Trump spent the weekend celebrating on Truth Social. Iran is on Day 24 of a hot war the IEA says is worse than both 1970s oil shocks combined. The 82nd Airborne is on standby. Someone placed half a billion dollars in oil futures bets 15 minutes before Trump posted his Iran peace claim. And Donald Trump voted by mail in a Florida special election the same week he called mail-in voting "cheating" and demanded senators pass voter suppression legislation for Jesus. On this episode, Robin covers Mueller's legacy, the MAGA civil war over Iran, Trump's 36% approval rating, Scaramucci's "Trump Reality Syndrome," the Supreme Court's threat to mail ballot grace periods in 14 states, ICE deployed to airports, the woman detained at SFO in front of her crying daughter, the Army raising its enlistment age to 42, and the Charlie Kirk cancel culture hypocrisy unraveling in court.

Note: This episode was recorded the evening of Monday, March 2, 2026. The situation is changing quickly, so some details may have developed further since recording. A new episode is dropping this evening 3/4 with an update.  How did the United States and Iran go from nuclear diplomacy to open war? In this episode of We Saw the Devil, Robin walks through the timeline that led to the 2026 US–Iran conflict. From the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) to Operation Epic Fury, she breaks down the decisions, escalations, and failed diplomacy that pushed two countries toward direct conflict. Because wars rarely start with the first bomb. They usually start years earlier.

With Liberty and Justice For Some: The Epstein Files & This Week's News
2026/02/19
So, the President thinks he’s in a Liam Neeson movie, the DOJ thinks "transparency" means hiding 98% of the Epstein files, and Ghislaine Maxwell got a puppy. Happy Wednesday. The masks are officially off, and what’s underneath is even uglier than we thought.In this episode, I’m breaking down the absolute fever dream that is February 2026: The Hunter Arc: Why the White House is rebranding the presidency as a revenge thriller and what "voter ID whether Congress likes it or not" actually means for the midterms.The Zuck Trial: Mark Zuckerberg is finally in front of a jury (not a fan-boy Senate committee) defending why Meta thinks 10-year-olds are "valuable assets" rather than human beings.Epstein’s 2%: Attorney General Pam Bondi claims "all" the files are out. Spoilers: They aren't. We talk 40 terabytes of missing data, Ted Lieu’s C-SPAN bombshell, and why the DOJ is busy redacting names while releasing victims' photos.Eight Fractures: A brutal investigation into ICE enforcement in Minneapolis and the "Catch of the Day" operation that’s turning even the President’s own voters against him.Subpoenaed Opinions: How DHS is using administrative subpoenas to unmask anonymous Reddit and Discord users for the crime of... having an opinion.The Quiet Parts: From Jared Kushner’s nuclear "diplomacy" in Iran to the weaponization of health grants against blue states.

Welcome to the Gutter: Pam Bondi, Trump, the Epstein Files, and the Loyalty Test (aka Hearing)
2026/02/12
They raised their hands. Every. Single. One of them. The survivors sat three feet behind the Attorney General of the United States...a phalanx of white and blacked-out redaction shirts. When asked if the Department of Justice failed them, the hands went up. When asked if they’d been ignored by the very people sworn to protect them, the hands stayed up. But when asked if they actually trusted the DOJ? Dead silence. While they stood, Pam Bondi stared at her notes like eye contact was a biohazard. No apology for the "accidental" release of victim nudes. No explanation for why billionaire predators got the luxury of a black marker while their prey got doxed. She had the audacity to say she wouldn't "get in the gutter" with the committee. But here’s the reality: The gutter is where those survivors' private lives were dumped. Let's break down the absolute circus of the February 11th Judiciary hearing. Welcome to the gutter. We’re all in it now.
