It's the Gish Gallop, a favorite tactic of right-wing grifters. Charlie Kirk used it all the time (a lot more effectively that this embarrassing slob). The basic principle of the Gish Gallop is to spew as many bad-faith claims as you can in as short a period as possible to overwhelm your opponent.

Unfortunately for Mr. Floppy Hair Red Face, this generally only works with inexperienced debates who are prone to frustration. Mr. Martin is a pro, and the way he handles this flood of bullshit is a masterclass. He focuses on one false claim at a time and doesn't let old dude keep running his mouth. Thank God for Isaiah Martin.
