My thermostat which is a honeywell have two wires
Red Wire: R ( with jumper R to RC)
Black Wire : W
Can I use the Google Nest 2020 on two wires without using C wire or a Google Nest power adaptor?
Google nest 2020 have only W and R
Google Nest 3rd Gen have W , RC and RH
Thanks

You do not use any jumpers on the Nest or any of the new smart Tstats.
You would use R and W and C if you can run a new thermostat wire to the system this is the best way to get a C wire. You can buy the thermostat cable at Home depot or Lowes etc use 5 conductor cable.
Or use a power adapter if you dont want to run the new cable.
The Nest Learning might work without a C wire but no guarantee.
All the new smart thermostats work much better with an actual C wire connected.

@Gbm149 just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
I appreciate the help, Edward, RnAElec and Houptee.
