Throughout history, political activists have endured all manner of suffering in order to advance

their causes. Gandhi marched 240 miles to protest the British salt monopoly. Nelson Mandela spent 27

years in prison opposing the South African regime. And yesterday, Democrat Congressman Greg Kasar

stopped eating for eight hours to protest for more breaks in the workday in Texas.

When Congressman Kasar first demanded more time off from employees, I didn't know if he was

interruption of gluttony constitutes an act of political heroism. A Michael Knowles, this is the Michael

Knowles show. Welcome back to the Michael Knowles show. Congressman Kasar, this brief interruption of

stuffing himself actually was not the craziest thing on Capitol Hill yesterday. There's a lot going

But going back to Capitol Hill for a second, the craziest thing that took place at Capitol Hill

yesterday was the UFO hearing. And I went in and I wanted to keep an open mind and you know,

we've had some debates about aliens at the Daily Wire. I cannot overstate just how stupid these

hearings are. I predicted they would be stupid. I tried to keep it. It's so dumb and so obviously fake.

But let's hear them out. First clip from Congressman Tim Birchett asking, and this is a very

serious question. Has anyone been injured or harmed, retrieving or even covering up the supposed

alien spacecraft? Do you have any personal knowledge that people have been harmed or injured
