The Omaha Bugle-Global News Network

Send us Fan Mail Adam opens the show solo because Jeff is on assignment overseas with a group of cartographers mapping the tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip for a new travel guide.  Jeff discusses the workplace hazards in Gaza as he and his colleagues make their way through boobytrapped tunnels, losing the occasional finger or toe to an explosive device.  Adam and Jeff then turn to the theme of th...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff discuss some of the more recent executive orders signed by President Trump and suggest that the sheer number of these executive orders may be diluting their effectiveness.  One order which directs that Washington D.C. be made safe and beautiful is little more than a directive that the relevant officials do whatever they can to make Washington D.C. great again.  As wi...

Send us Fan Mail Never shy about foisting their views on others, Adam and Jeff invite Chris Eddy, the retired general and recent GOP candidate for the 25th U.S. Congressional District in Florida to talk about what went right and what went wrong in his election bid.  Chris provides a statistical analysis of the early voting and election day voting and focuses on some of the  factors that may have p...

Send us Fan Mail Always happy to offer their opinions to the public free of charge, Adam and Jeff convene to discuss the enormous number of executive orders executed by President Trump during his first few weeks in office.  Some of them such as the banning of paper straws in federal agencies seem to be silly (except to those who have accidentally swallowed a soggy paper straw) while others such as...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff return to the air after receiving pre-emptive pardons from out-going President Joe Biden for any crimes they might have committed while not in the employment of the Biden Family Business or for any actions they might have taken while not serving on the J6 Committee.  Adam and Jeff pay homage to the recently-passed President Jimmy Carter and point out that he was a de...

Send us Fan Mail In discussing the outcome of the 2024 election, Adam and Jeff said that they were surprised  by both the speed with which the winner of the election was decided and the almost complete lack of dirty tricks on election night.  Indeed, they were expecting that a dump truck load of ballots would be found on a country road in Pennsylvania or Michigan or any other swing state.  They al...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff return to the airwaves after an unexpected hiatus of several weeks that was prompted by a storming of the Omaha Bugle headquarters by local college students who occupied the broadcasting center and shut down operations to underscore their support for free speech.  Fortunately, the students eventually left when they ran out of snack foods and energy drinks in the brea...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff welcome a good friend of the Omaha Bugle, Chris Eddy, back to the program, for an unprecedented third appearance--an honor that would typically be reserved for presidents, kings and deep-pocket program sponsors.  Chris provides Adam and Jeff with an update of his campaign to win the 25th Congressional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.  In particular, he talk...

Send us Fan Mail The third and final installment of the epic discussion of artificial intelligence by Adam and Jeff marks yet another towering contribution to the intellectual legacy of Western civilization.  Adam points out that artificial intelligence has merely accelerated the trend toward greater technical sophistication while increasing the vulnerabilities of nearly every aspect of modern soc...

Send us Fan Mail In their continuing efforts to point out that artificial intelligence has nothing to do with preservatives and food dyes, Adam and Jeff continue their discussion regarding various issues posed by recent advances in the field.  Certainly they are both keenly aware of the fact that AI has helped to create a self-generating surveillance state in which everyone with a phone can collec...

Send us Fan Mail Never reluctant to showcase their artificial intelligence about matters of culture and politics at fancy cocktail parties, Adam and Jeff consider some of the pressing concerns about the brave new world of artificial intelligence.  They also discuss the fine line between extremely sophisticated calculators and sentient machines that are able to reason independently of any inputs or...

Send us Fan Mail Having returned from their worldwide concert tour as the opening act for Taylor Swift, Adam and Jeff discuss the idea proposed by both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that college be made free to everyone.  They consider the staggering amount spent each year for post-secondary education and the number of households filing tax returns to determine that the actual bill for "free co...

Send us Fan Mail Presidential politics experts Adam and Jeff offer their opinions as to how Joe Biden could be enticed to leave office.  This podcast was recorded before Biden decided to end his quest to be the 2024 Democratic nominee and subsequently misfiled by an intern who happens to be the daughter of the chairman of the board of the Omaha Bugle.  The intern was subsequently promoted to news...

Send us Fan Mail Noted political analysts and green belt judo students Adam and Jeff compare notes on the first 2024 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.  Adam managed to sit through the entire debate believing that he had stumbled onto an hour-long parody on the Comedy Channel.  However, Jeff was more fortunate, having elected to go to an all-you-can eat buffet while the debate...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff, who know almost everything about everything and are not reluctant to regale their listeners with endless facts and opinions, consider why the U.S. military continues to shrink even as the defense budgets continue to rise.  Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer defense contractors available to bid on weapons systems that are increasingly complex and costly.  Jeff...

Send us Fan Mail The recent visit of several Russian ships to Cuba strikes Adam and Jeff as nothing more than a tit-for-tat move by Putin in response to President Biden's recent decision to allow Ukrainian troops to fire American weapons into Russian territory.  Of course there is not much tit or tat because Putin started the war in Ukraine and has disingenuously proclaimed that the Russian s...

Send us Fan Mail Adam and Jeff consider the increasingly blurred line between science and theology in the climate change world where many people--regardless of whether they are actual scientists or people who like to hang out with scientists--assert that humanity is in global warming death spiral.  They point to the past two centuries beginning in 1800 with the start of the Industrial Revolution d...

Send us Fan Mail Noted political analysts and knick-knack collectors Adam and Jeff offer their opinions about what they view as an appalling display of prosecutorial, judicial and jury bias in the New York case in which Donald Trump was found guilty 34 times for the same expired misdemeanor that had somehow been magically bootstrapped into a federal election law violation.  Because the district at...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 vote...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 yo...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 c...
