Shaya Baum, Michael Kassab and Sarah Annas are joined by special guest Alina Istifu to discuss some of the biggest headlines this week, including Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, the Muslim Brotherhood controversy surrounding Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, Kelly Clarkson's viral $15,000 bird feud and the latest NFL Week 6 and Week 7 matchups. HOUTHIS LAUNCH DEADLY ATTACKS ON SAUDI ARABIA Iran-backed Houthi rebels have reportedly launched missile and drone attacks targeting Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, raising concerns about regional security and escalating tensions in the Middle East. Is Iran using the Houthis to fight its battles without taking direct responsibility? MICHIGAN SENATE RACE: MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD CONTROVERSY Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing scrutiny over alleged associations with individuals and organizations connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. As the controversy draws attention to the Islamist movement and its political influence, what exactly is the Muslim Brotherhood, and why is it so controversial? KELLY CLARKSON'S $15,000 BIRD FEUD Kelly Clarkson sparked a viral social media feud after publicly criticizing Brooklyn business Art of Play over a $15,000 mechanical singing bird. Clarkson accused an employee of treating her like she couldn't afford it, comparing the experience to _Pretty Woman_. The store fired back, defending its employees and claiming the bird wasn't for sale. After the dispute exploded online, the store raised the bird's price to $15 million. Was Clarkson justified in calling out the business, or did her celebrity influence take things too far? NFL RAPID FIRE: WEEK 5 & WEEK 6 The crew breaks down the latest NFL action, including the Detroit Lions, the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles, Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers, and key matchups featuring the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.
