Confronted 19 challenges (38.1/46), conceding the JCPOA 'is a counterexample,' that he 'focused more on the suppression of pro-Palestinian speech,' and that Trump's assassination belief 'did play a factor'; no fallacies recorded; one interruption ('I have.'); left the accidental-launch risk and full-context Gabbard citation unaddressed.
