1 supported 2 partly supported 2 contradicted 4 not checkable as stated how the 9 claims stand · each chip opens the sources

2 predictions · 7 assertions · 3 opinions · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 9 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 5 are resolved, and 4 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

How they sound: speaking style how? →

246 words/min while actually speaking · 26.8 um and uh per 1k words

No argument clarity score for Senator Dave McCormick: only 1 usable question→answer exchange on raw tape (a fair score needs 8+). We do not score a sample that small. Roundtable and news formats yield far fewer direct exchanges than interviews.

Measured by listening to the audio itself: 2,870 words across 1 episode of raw-level tape, transcribed verbatim with every um and uh kept, each one attributed only where the alignment onto our timed stream is unambiguous. These are measurements of speaking style. We do not rank them: across this corpus, fluency and argument quality are nearly uncorrelated (ρ≈0.2), and smooth talking does not signal clear thinking.
