Chris welcomes back George Khalaf, founder of Data Orbital and candidate for the Arizona State House in District 3.
The conversation begins with George’s humble beginnings as a young data analyst working for Sean Noble, and how that experience launched him into becoming one of the few truly data-driven political analysts in the state of Arizona. From there, George shares his family’s story of fleeing Lebanon in the early 1980s amid the rise of radical Islam—and explains why those same ideological forces are once again threatening communities across the United States.
Chris and George examine how mass illegal immigration, facilitated by the Biden Administration, is reshaping American cities and accelerating cultural and political instability. They also break down the surprising reality behind Arizona’s changing demographics, arguing that the state is actually becoming more conservative as families flee failed left-wing policies exported from deep-blue states.
The discussion expands nationally, highlighting the collapse of the “moderate Democrat” myth, with New Jersey and especially Virginia serving as warning signs of what happens when radical progressives seize full control of state legislatures—leaving citizens stunned by the consequences of what they voted for.
Chris closes the episode on a deeply personal note, asking for prayers for Savannah Guthrie and her family, specifically for the safe return and recovery of her mother, Nancy, who was abducted from her home over the weekend. He reflects on Tucson as the smallest big town in the world—where everyone knows one another—and how friends, neighbors, and the broader community are rallying together in prayer around the Guthrie family during this painful and uncertain time.
