Victor Armendariz takes a hard look at political accountability, calling out candidates from both parties and arguing that voters should judge politicians on competence, principles and results—not simply their party affiliation or name. He discusses Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s foreign policy response, South Carolina’s Senate race, Georgia’s Senate contest between Mike Collins and Jon Ossoff, and Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens’ criticism of the Democratic National Committee.

Victor also takes aim at career politicians and the lack of term limits, arguing that voters should stay informed and use their ballots to hold elected officials accountable. He discusses voting patterns, the history of Black voters and the Republican and Democratic parties, and the importance of maintaining two viable political parties.

Plus, Victor previews an upcoming discussion on data centers, arguing that the United States needs to maintain technological leadership over China. He explains his vision for how states could work with data centers to expand power infrastructure, lower electricity costs and potentially reduce property taxes before heading to Texas for some barbecue.
