good evening. i m erin burnett and tonight, breaking news. mitt what s the gross revenue of bain when you were dealing with it? to what s the gross revenue? fairly substantial, but i think it s irrelevant than the fact that you were working for freddie mac? did they ever do work with the government like medicare? we didn t work with the government. i didn t have an office on k street. i didn t work in washington. he likes to surf off that audience approval. without that tonight, he did seem relatively subdued so it had an impact. a lot of really interesting moments. like romney said what do i do with the taliban? beat them. and then of course there s silence. you don t have that applause. these guys are learning to use the audience as a weapon on their behalf. i think he is right. i personally think, get rid of it entirely. it is totally downer productive and it is i would say i totally agree with that. then you have that dead moment of silence and you re w
