Braun Strowman joined Dawn Stensland to promote the second season of Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman, his USA Network food-and-travel series where he visits restaurants across the country and orders everything on the menu. Dawn and Braun discussed the show’s upcoming Philadelphia episode, including cheesesteaks, the city’s food culture, and the “Founding Feast” theme tied to America’s 250th anniversary. Braun talked about the surprise of being recognized not only as a WWE star, but now also as “the guy who eats everything on the menu,” including by viewers who did not know his wrestling background. The interview also touched on his size, travel challenges, his early days living out of a Kia Soul, and how Mark Henry helped him get discovered by WWE. Braun framed the show as more than a food program, saying food brings people together, creates memories, and helps people connect across backgrounds and Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis joined Dawn Stensland to discuss their firsthand coverage of the protests and unrest outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. They described the scene as chaotic and lawless, arguing that the demonstrations were not peaceful protests but coordinated actions involving barricades, threats, helmets, gas masks, and attempts to obstruct federal law enforcement. Dawn asked about Governor Mikie Sherrill’s shifting response, including the decision to bring in New Jersey State Police and impose a curfew after repeated arrests and escalating behavior. Frank and Ian also discussed the role of outside agitators, the difference between daytime and nighttime protest activity, and the risk that left-wing groups were trying to manufacture another Minneapolis-style confrontation. Later in the conversation, they connected their reporting to broader concerns about sanctuary policies, media coverage, threats against citizen journalists, and the importance of social media in forcing stories into the public conversation.
