Afterwards, Kucinich was interviewed on Democracy Now!. The interview started with HR 333 of course, but it covered much more: the Peru Free Trade Bill, and free trade in general - "it's time we stood up for workers, whether they're in America or Peru or wherever"; media consolidation - it "is having a material and adverse impact on our exercise of First Amendment rights in a democratic society" and "is a danger to our democracy"; the exclusion of himself and Mike Gravell and others from debates and functions - "this election doesn't belong to one state... look at the national polls"; the Defense Authorization Bill - "what's going on in this country?"; the UFO - "I was kind of taken aback when I was asked that question ... I saw something"; the race itself - "there's an attempt by the media to manage this election", "all I need is an opportunity to debate" and "I realize that I'm a long shot, I don't have any illusions; but I also realize that democracy is a long shot right now in America."
