The State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program has been expanded to offer $5 million for information leading to the arrest of foreign nationals accused of war crimes. While Joseph Kony is the public face of the program, the hosts argue the new legislation is actually designed to target individuals in Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. They express concern over the use of "mixed or hybrid" international courts.

The viral Kony 2012 video is analyzed as a propaganda tool designed to justify U.S. military intervention in Central Africa. Evidence suggests the campaign serves to protect Western oil interests, specifically Tullow Oil's billion-dollar finds in Uganda. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is described as a diminished force, while the video is framed as a means to establish a permanent base for AFRICOM.
