"...Going back to the issue of impeachment and what the Congress might or might not do. I think the only way-- and especially the Democrats-- I think the only way they’re going to start doing anything and paying attention is if this country takes to the streets. I don’t see any other way. I mean you can embarrass him, but how do you embarrass him because the cable news networks, and the other networks, will do nothing to embarrass him, so it’s got to be done by you folks and by a mass protest in this country. And if that doesn’t happen, nothing’s going to happen, believe me. If the Democrats take over, maybe, just maybe, they can be pushed into doing something to save this country, but it’s going to have to be done by a mass of people."
