Send us a Text Message.Alway happy to meet up-and-coming power brokers, Adam and Jeff welcome Chris Eddy back to the show to provide an update as to where things stand with his candidacy to seek election to the 25th Congressional District of Florida. Due to Chris's background with the intelligence community, Adam and Jeff pepper him with questions about the current administration's decisions on a variety of topics including the continuing open border, exploding government deficits, the ...
Send us a Text Message.As both Adam and Jeff have apparently not made the final cut for consideration as Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate, they have decided to evaluate the most likely prospects to see who would help the presumptive GOP nominee the most in the November election. Adam points out that Trump's biggest problem seems to be his inability to connect with many women voters because many women voters do, in fact, detest him. Because Trump has made significant i...
Send us a Text Message.Never reluctant to let actual facts or expert opinions get in the way of their own views of the world, Adam and Jeff offer their predictions for the next year about a variety of international issues. Even though neither Adam nor Jeff have ever been to Ukraine nor eaten in a Ukrainian restaurant, they both believe that the war against Russia will continue to be a stalemate with comparatively few changes in the battlefield lines. Russia currently o...
Send us a Text Message.In a switch from the usual hard-hitting news program that millions of listeners have come to expect from the Omaha Bugle, Adam and Jeff carry out their very first cooking show. Adam is the actual chef who describes how to prepare a German recipe for green bean soup. As Jeff is kitchen-challenged and has never ventured far beyond burning toast and overboiling eggs, Adam does not confer the coveted status of sous chef upon Jeff but tries to keep him at arm's-l...
Send us a Text Message.Anxious to avoid cliche´d January 1st predictions for the New Year, Adam and Jeff kick off their first annual prediction show on April 25th and offer a few ideas about what will happen in the upcoming 12 months with regard to inflation, the presidential election, and housing prices. Jeff points out that inflation can increase or decrease however much you may desire so long as you construct the index properly. So if you want to avoid a lot of inflation,...
Send us a Text Message.Somewhat alarmed at the extent to which President Joe Biden seems to get lost on stage or while reading a teleprompter, Adam and Jeff discuss whether he might be replaced by another candidate prior to the November election. Numerous polls show that Biden is trailing prospective GOP nominee Donald Trump, prompting many Democrats to begin whispering that a change at the top of the ticket might be in order. But who would be the best replacement if you do ...
Send us a Text Message.Not to be outdone by the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, Adam and Jeff bring the first annual Omaha Bugle Dog Show to their millions of adoring fans. Because podcasts lack a visual component, however, they decide to tell stories about some of their favorite dogs. Jeff is proud to point out that he is solely in the dog corner after having flirted briefly with the dark side of cat ownership. Adam questions the idea that anyone can "own" a dog since the...
Send us a Text Message.Noted Ukraine boosters Adam and Jeff turn their attention back to the ongoing war in the Ukraine. Jeff suggests that Russia's image as a military colossus has taken an enormous hit due to it having become bogged down in a war of attrition in the Ukraine over the past two years. Although Russia managed to seize about 20% of Ukraine's territory in the early weeks of the invasion, Ukraine has fought back valiantly and essentially held the Russians in check for ...
Send us a Text Message.Both Adam and Jeff are surprised that President Biden chose to celebrate America's newest heartwarming holiday--transgender visibility day--on Easter Sunday. Even though Hallmark has not yet issued a set of holiday cards to commemorate transgender visibility day, Adam and Jeff do not feel that this holiday will enjoy the enduring popularity of Christian holidays such as Easter and Christmas unless transgender advocates can come up with some catchy traditions...
Send us a Text Message.Adam and Jeff consider the merits of an immigration moratorium despite their concerns that stricter immigration laws might crimp the supply of low-priced gardening talent to tend the grounds at the corporate headquarters of the Omaha Bugle. They discuss the current situation in which millions of largely unvetted migrants have been allowed to enter the United States courtesy of the Biden regime and debate whether the country has been benefited as a whole from this ...
Send us a Text Message.Always anxious to impart their vast knowledge about everything that matters to their millions of listeners, Adam and Jeff turn their attention to the Federal Reserve and its repeated insistence on flooding the economy with dollar bills in order to prop up asset prices and, purely coincidentally, the fortunes of the poor, starving 1 percenters--who might otherwise have to sell their megayachts or fifth summer houses. They also talk about whether a house can be cons...
Send us a Text Message.Despite their vast knowledge about many important topics, Adam and Jeff are forced to admit that they know virtually nothing about supply chains and the logistical networks that facilitate the transport of goods from point of manufacture to point of sale. As a result, they have called upon eminent supply chain and ocean shipping tech space expert Caroline Weaver (who coincidentally has the same last name as one of the hosts) for an explanation as to how supply cha...
Send us a Text Message.In continuing their review of what was arguably the most politicized and, perhaps, loudest State of the Union speech in recent memory, Adam and Jeff considered the many tidbits of wisdom and warmth offered by President Biden. Jeff points out that Biden once again called for all wealthy people to pay their fair share of taxes but failed to define what amount or percent would be fair--even though the top 1% of earners reportedly pay nearly 50% of all income taxes.&n...
Send us a Text Message.Although Jeff was the only member of the Omaha Bugle staff who was fortunate enough to watch the entire State of the Union address given by President Biden, he was happy to share the many profound insights offered by the President with the listening audience. Adam, for his part, found his time to have been more profitably spent preparing a rib roast dinner and reviewing the White House transcript of the speech afterwards to uncover any nuggets of wisdom or t...
Send us a Text Message.Seeking to answer the most daunting questions about the human condition, Adam and Jeff wonder why the American dream of owning a home is becoming more and more elusive. But they are forced to admit that housing is only one of a wide variety of basic necessities (e.g., cars, food, fuel, hush money) that are becoming more costly and, in the aggregate, making the middle class lifestyle unattainable. But why? Jeff suggests that the answer lies with the mas...
Send us a Text Message.Diving into the morass of modern Anglo-American jurisprudence, the Omaha Bugle's senior correspondents, Adam and Jeff, discuss how the rule of law is absolutely crucial to the long-term success of any modern economy. They point out that companies abhor uncertainty and chaos and are extremely reluctant to invest large sums of money in new plants or hire additional workers when they fear that the laws governing their operations might be changed at a moment's notice-...
Send us a Text Message.Adam and Jeff wonder why the citizenry has become so disenchanted with the federal government and conclude that much of its dissatisfaction stems from the failure of elected officials to do what ordinary people must do every day--namely, live within their means. They are disturbed by the increasing tendency of the government to rely on open-ended continuing resolutions instead of actual budgets. Indeed, the fact that a single piece of legislation running 500...
Send us a Text Message.Adam and Jeff delve into the vexing questions that arise when a spoiled diplomat's son who runs over a police officer directing traffic claims diplomatic immunity. Jeff offers a scintillating history of the concept of diplomatic immunity--pointing out that it was devised to enable representatives of warring nations to confer with each other without fear of death (most of the time). Adam points out that there is a sort of sliding scale of immunity from prosec...
Send us a Text Message.Due to the numerous mishaps that occur both in government and corporate America, Adam and Jeff wonder if the problem is due to the unbridled arrogance of many in the "credentialed class"--those individuals possessing advanced degrees from overpriced universities. Indeed, Jeff offers a proposition that the quality of the decision-making in any large organization is inversely related to the number of credentialed individuals participating in that process--which he i...
Send us a Text Message.President Biden continues to set dubious records with the recent report that the Border Patrol nabbed more than 250,000 illegal migrants trying to enter the United States along the pretend southern border in December 2023 alone. Adam and Jeff talk about the so-called $100 billion proposal to link a new "border security" bill with continued funding for Ukraine and Israel; these funds were apparently found in a couch in the west wing of the White House by the cleani...
