FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to explain how the fraud probe has escalated and why it now involves federal funding, immigration cooperation, and oversight questions in the state.The World Cup 2026 Final Draw is today, as soccer fans around the world will be watching to see who plays who next year.
