    Mar 4 2026
    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.

    In This Episode:
    • The roots of US–Iran tension, from the 1953 coup to the 1979 Iranian Revolution
    • What the JCPOA nuclear deal actually did
    • Why the US leaving the deal in 2018 changed the trajectory
    • Iran’s proxy network across the Middle East
    • The 2025 protests inside Iran and the violent crackdown that followed
    • The diplomatic breakdown leading into 2026
    • Operation Epic Fury and the strike campaign against Iran
    • Iran’s retaliation across the region, including Israel, Lebanon, and Gulf states
    • The growing risk of a wider Middle East war and energy crisis

  • With Liberty and Justice For Some: The Epstein Files & This Week's News
    Feb 19 2026
    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)
    Feb 12 2026
    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.

  • The Week America Told On Itself: Bad Bunny Super Bowl Meltdowns, Epstein Files, & DOJ Corruption
    Feb 11 2026
    While the country argued about a Super Bowl halftime show, the U.S. government quietly revealed how power actually works. In this episode of Red, White & Bruised, Robin breaks down the week America exposed itself in real time. From the culture war meltdown over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance to the resurfacing of the Epstein files, the dismissal of Steve Bannon’s criminal case, and a Justice Department increasingly aligned with political loyalty over accountability. This episode examines how distraction functions as cover fire. Loud outrage dominates headlines while structural changes reshape the legal, political, and information systems underneath.

    In this episode:
    • The coordinated backlash to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and why culture war outrage is the point
    • Trump’s response to athletes speaking honestly at the Winter Olympics and the growing political cost of enforced “gratitude”
    • Ghislaine Maxwell invoking the Fifth Amendment while quietly signaling willingness to testify in exchange for a presidential pardon
    • New revelations about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s post-conviction ties to Jeffrey Epstein
    • The Department of Justice moving to dismiss Steve Bannon’s criminal contempt conviction
    • A Fifth Circuit ruling allowing indefinite detention by ICE without bond hearings
    • Looming DHS funding deadlines and Democratic paralysis
    • Elon Musk’s renewed political spending and the growing money imbalance ahead of the midterms
    • The White House’s unprecedented “Media Offenders” page and its implications for press freedom
    • How culture war noise, legal infrastructure, financial power, and information control work together by design
    This is not chaos. It’s architecture. While public attention stays locked on spectacle, the machinery of power rewrites the rules in plain sight. This episode connects the dots between distraction and consequence...and asks what happens when the loudest outrage stops working.

  • Where the Hell Is Nancy Guthrie? | Trump Posted What?! | Tulsi's Still Playing Spy Games | Kamala Might Want Back In
    Feb 7 2026
    An 84 year old woman is missing in Tucson. The President posted a racist video and won't apologize. The DNI is seizing voting machines. And Kamala Harris just relaunched her social media.

    It's been a week. Let's get into it.



    In This Episode:

    The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie
    Day six of the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, taken from her Arizona home in the middle of the night. We break down the full timeline, the ransom notes sent to media outlets, the FBI's warning about AI deepfakes complicating proof of life, the arrest of a fake ransom scammer, a new message being analyzed by investigators, a vehicle of interest at a Tucson Circle K, and the towing of a car from Nancy's property Friday evening. Still no suspects. Still no proof of life. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward.

    The President Posted What?!
    Late Thursday night, Trump's Truth Social account shared a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, during Black History Month. The White House called the backlash "fake outrage." Then Tim Scott called it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House." Then Republicans started calling the President directly. Then it came down. Then they blamed a staffer. Then Trump said he won't apologize. We walk through every layer.

    Tulsi Gabbard and the Election Conspiracy Road Show
    The Director of National Intelligence showed up at an FBI raid in Georgia, seized voting machines in Puerto Rico, skipped the capture of Nicolás Maduro, and has a classified whistleblower complaint locked in a safe alleging she restricted intelligence for political purposes. We connect the dots between all of it.

    Kamala Harris and the Return of KamalaHQ
    Harris relaunched her campaign accounts as "Headquarters," a youth mobilization project that is very obviously a 2028 campaign in disguise. Robin makes the data driven case for why the Democratic Party needs to move on, including the 21 point youth vote collapse, underwater favorability numbers, and what happens when a party chooses familiarity over a real reckoning.

  • Tulsi Gabbard, What Have You Done?!
    Feb 3 2026
    The Director of National Intelligence showed up to an FBI raid on a Georgia elections office. Then she put the President on speakerphone with the agents. Then we found out she's been sitting on a whistleblower complaint about herself for eight months.

    This week, we're talking about Tulsi Gabbard, the woman who went from Bernie Sanders endorser to Democratic presidential candidate to Fox News guest host to Trump's spy chief in one of the most cynical political transformations in modern American history. We're talking about the Fulton County raid, the classified complaint locked in a safe, her documented history of consuming Russian state media, her secret meeting with Assad, and why Russian state TV calls her "Russia's girlfriend."

    I'm not going to dance around it: I think Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset. And I'm going to tell you exactly why. Buckle up.

    KEY POINTS
    • On January 28, 2026, FBI agents seized 700 boxes of 2020 election materials from Fulton County, Georgia. DNI Tulsi Gabbard was physically present, at Trump's specific direction.
    • The day after the raid, Gabbard visited the FBI's Atlanta field office and put Trump on speakerphone with the agents. He gave them a "pep talk" for investigating the election he lost.
    • Former FBI officials called this "unprecedented" and said there is "unanimous disgust" across current and former agents.
    • A whistleblower complaint about Gabbard has been locked in a safe for eight months. Federal law requires transmission to Congress within three weeks.
    • Three former aides told ABC News that Gabbard regularly read and shared articles from RT, the Kremlin's principal propaganda outlet.
    • In 2017, Gabbard took a secret trip to Damascus and met with Assad for nearly three hours. Congressional staffers later worried she might leak information about a Syrian defector.
    • A former U.S. ambassador to NATO called Gabbard's 2017 foreign policy memo "basically the Russian playbook."
    • At her confirmation hearing, Gabbard refused to call Edward Snowden a traitor. Senator Bennet responded: "Apparently, you don't understand how critical our national security is."

  • Epstein's Dead. Trump's President. Nobody's in Prison. Let's Discuss the Latest Epstein Files Drop
    Feb 1 2026
    The DOJ just dumped 3 million pages of Epstein files. Trump's name shows up over 1,000 times.

    Elon Musk wanted to know which night had the "wildest party" on Pedophile Island. The Commerce Secretary's wife RSVP'd to bring the kids to Little St. James. Steve Bannon was texting a child rapist about borrowing his plane. And the guy announcing all this? Trump's former defense attorney. You can't make this shit up.

    But here's the kicker: survivors got doxxed while their rapists hide behind black rectangles. Fifty percent of the files are still being withheld. And Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only person in prison.

    For this episode, Robin rips through the documents, names the names, and asks the questions your government hopes you're too distracted to ask. The receipts are here. The excuses are bullshit. Let's go.

  • Trump Threatens Iran While ICE Builds a Protest Database & Ilhan Omar is Attacked
    Jan 29 2026

    "They say history repeats itself, but usually it has the courtesy to let you catch your breath between atrocities."

    This week, the world watched as American foreign and domestic policy went from "unstable" to "active crime scene." From the decks of an "enthusiastic" aircraft carrier to the steps of a violated consulate in Minneapolis, the rules of the game have been set on fire. Robin breaks down the illegal incursions, the paramilitary tactics being used on American soil, and the administrative lies falling apart in real-time.

    In this episode:
    • The "Enthusiastic" Armada: Trump’s latest threats against Iran, the return of Operation Midnight Hammer, and why the administration is using "speed and violence" as a poll-number pivot.
    • The Board of Peace: A dive into Jared Kushner’s $7 trillion "colonial parody" and the plan to turn Gaza into a seaside resort.
    • Consulate Chaos in Minneapolis: A federal agent’s attempt to storm the Ecuadorian Consulate, the violation of the Vienna Convention, and why Italy is comparing American law enforcement to the SS.
    • The Alex Pretti Narrative: The truth behind the "massacre" lie, the role of Stephen Miller in fabricating an assassin story, and the fallout for Secretary Kristi Noem.
    • The Database is Real: Inside the federal plan to "make protesters famous," the use of LRADs on American citizens, and the database flagging of "agitators" before they end up in ICE custody.
    • The Human Cost: The heartbreaking deportation of 5-year-old American citizen Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos and the rising body count in federal detention.
    • The Politics of Spite: The attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and the looming government shutdown over DHS funding.
