Then it's time for another one of your favorite countdowns as Dick and Vincenzo reveal their Top 5 Pasta Dishes of All Time!

THE DICK BUTTONS INTERVIEWS - ADAM SWART

His appearances on Fox News, Fox Business, NewsNation, OAN, and Newsmax have generated millions of views and sparked heated national conversations about transparency, authenticity, and the future of civic activism.In this fascinating interview, Dick and Adam tackle some of today's most controversial questions: Who really funds large-scale protest movements? How are public demonstrations organized and promoted? Where is the line between advocacy and influence? What role does media play in shaping public perception? Is public trust in activism being damaged by hidden agendas and opaque funding sources? A strong supporter of free speech and lawful protest, Adam offers a unique insider perspective on an industry few people truly understand.
