The guys take an unprecedented second trip in the Time Tunnel, in hour two. Part two, also from 2005, revolves around H-1B visas to bring in cheap foreign labor. We bring it back to the present by talking about delaying funding for the UW's engineering building, as the Republican legislature would rather import cheap workers than train and employ Americans. We check in with Brittney Merlot after the long week off to talk the weather and New Year's resolutions, then continue in 2005 (we're stuck here) discussing Bush's tax cuts. Later, we chat with a caller about the Great Recession, and dive more into UW funding, with Robin Vos's latest demands before the legislature funds the university system. We hear from weird millionaire and friend of Trump Dan Pena, who tells people to stop being poor, and close out with more remembrance of Jimmy Carter.
