IMO this is the correct play by Dahm. Claim that the interview was edited to make him look stupid. It isn't even a lie, because a) rarely would a show with as much high production value just post the raw footage so yes, some editing has been done (Choosing when to cut from one camera to the other, for example), and b) Dahm looked like a total doofus. both a) and b) are true, and he can insinuate that b) is only true because of a). He will never have a recorded one on one conversation with Jon Stewart ever again, and he will "trust the process" and that process is "if confronted, drown out the person asking the question, pivot, deflect, and know that the general public will move on to something else soon enough"
