In the first hour, Barry talks about the State of the Union Address by an obviously weakened President Bush and the Democratic reply fearlessly, brilliantly delivered by Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia.
In the second hour, Barry talks with Don McCanne, M.D., former president of the Physicians for a National Health Program, about the problems with the new Bush proposals and the recent Schwarzenegger plans for healthcare and the advantages of a single-payer system, as Barry has long touted.
And in the third hour, Barry talks with nationally renowned film critic Michael Wilmington, of the Chicago Tribune, about this week's Oscar nominations -- what was expected and what was surprising.

Technical difficulties at the station resulted in the first hour of the show having poor sound quality and the second and third hours of the show not being recorded. We apologize for this unusual occurrence.
