\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

RUSH:  Okay.  Yesterday in Carson City, Nevada, there was a Trump-Pence campaign event.  Vice Presidential Nominee Mike Pence spoke.  During the Q&A, Catherine Byrne — whose son serves in the Air Force — and Pence had this exchange, and you\u2019ll hear some other audience members pipe in to this as well.<\/p>\n

BYRNE:  Time and time again, Donald Trump has disrespected our nation\u2019s Armed Forces and veterans, and his disrespect for Mr. Khan and his family is just an example of that.  Will there ever be —<\/line><\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (booing)<\/p>\n

BYRNE: Will there ever be a point in time when you\u2019re able to look at Trump in the eye and tell him enough is enough? <\/p>\n

PENCE: It\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

BYRNE: You have a son in the military. How do you tolerate his disrespect?<\/p>\n

PENCE:  Well, I thank you for the question.<\/p>\n

AUDIENCE: (grumbling)<\/p>\n

PENCE: It\u2019s all right.  It\u2019s all right.  Folks, that\u2019s what freedom looks like, and that\u2019s what freedom sounds like.  Having spent time with our nominee, I have never been around someone more devoted to the Armed Forces of this country.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  This whole episode\u2019s being held up as an example by people for Trump to follow.  “This is how it\u2019s done.  Trump should follow Pence\u2019s lead here.  You\u2019ve got a hostile audience member asking hostile questions, and you acknowledge everything and you don\u2019t put anybody down, and then you swear by the nominee.” You know, this is a great bite, because I remember telling everybody, “When it comes time to choose the vice president, they\u2019re gonna have to pick somebody who\u2019s willing to go out there and defend Trump no matter what\u2019s said.  That\u2019s the job of the VP.  No matter what, you cannot dump on the presidential candidate.”<\/p>\n

Pence did indeed show how it\u2019s done. <\/p>\n

We got somebody who was there. This is Tim.  It\u2019s great to have you, sir.  I\u2019m glad you called.  How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Hey, Rush.  How you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Very well.  Thank you much.<\/p>\n

CALLER:  Yeah, I was standing right behind that lady, and it was an obvious plant.<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Well —<\/p>\n
