State of the Union; Cancer survival rate rises; ‘Arizona Boots and Burgers’ book

On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” we discussed President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address, the first of his second term, given on February 24, 2026. The address gave President Trump the chance to shape the GOP’s message to voters going into the upcoming midterm election. Wes Gullett, partner of Nexus Strategy Group, and Stacy Pearson, co-founder of Lumen Strategies, joined us to discuss the speech and what it means for the midterm election.

Also, we reviewed a report from the American Cancer Society, showing the five-year relative survival rate for cancer reached 70% for people diagnosed between 2015 to 2021.

Finally, we spoke with Roger Naylor about his new book, titled “Arizona Boots and Burgers: A Guide for Hungry Hikers,” which mentions his top picks for dining after hiking through Arizona’s trails.
