Next DEBATE format = IF YOU LIE, you shut up for 3 minutes and cede that time to your opponent.

Edit


We'll give them both air horns....

Heck, let the audience use their smart phones to fact check. We'll have ushers standing by with extra air horns and if someone catches a lie the air horn blows and the blow hard sits it out.
