U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield visited Mozambique as part of a broader Biden administration push to engage with Africa. Her visit, which included planting mangrove trees and picking up beach garbage, followed a high-level trip by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

As the United States withdraws from Afghanistan, new military conflicts are emerging in Africa. Troops from Rwanda, Botswana, and South Africa are deploying to Mozambique to fight Al-Shabaab, a terror group linked to the Islamic State. Analysts predict the Horn of Africa—including Ethiopia and Somalia—will be the next major theater for American military intervention.

President Trump issued an executive order to coordinate national resilience against electromagnetic pulses (EMP). Meanwhile, a study from Staffordshire University claims that people who believe in "outrageous conspiracy theories" are more prone to criminal behavior, a finding the hosts find ironically timed given the media's own "Mueller myths."

A deep dive into the "Economic Hitman" theory regarding the Ebola outbreak in Africa. The hosts suggest the virus is being used as a tool for regime change and to secure massive liquefied natural gas and oil interests in countries like Nigeria, Mozambique, and Tanzania, noting the suspicious timing of US and EU "resilience" funding.

The King of the Netherlands has reportedly purchased a large estate in Greece, where Vladimir Putin is also a neighbor. This follows a controversy regarding the King's previous property in Mozambique. The hosts discuss the escalating tensions between NATO and Russia over Ukraine and the potential for war.

General Carter F. Ham, the new commander of AFRICOM, recently visited Angola to assert U.S. interests in a region heavily influenced by Chinese investment.

Madonna's philanthropic involvement in Malawi is scrutinized following a school construction scandal. The hosts suggest her presence serves as a distraction from Malawi's significant oil reserves and a planned pipeline through Mozambique, where European royalty reportedly holds property.

The discovery of massive natural gas reservoirs off the coast of Mozambique and Somalia is identified as the true driver of U.S. interest in East Africa. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is highlighted as a key player, with former military commander Kevin Chilton on its board. The hosts link the presence of a drone base in Djibouti to the protection and exploration of these hydrocarbon assets.

Adam Curry reviews a leaked "Behavior Protocol" from the Christian charity World Vision for visitors to Mozambique. The document explicitly forbids visitors from having sex with children or touching them inappropriately. The hosts find it disturbing that such a large organization feels the need to put these basic moral requirements in writing for its participants.
