Bell argues that Klein is the right person to make important decisions in the future, despite recent media criticism. Why? Because her policy decisions recently avoided an upcoming catastrophe, which is more important than the policies being unpopular.

Soltan says that Klein should step down, even though her policies are effective. To support this, Soltan explains that Klein will not have the political support needed to make important decisions in the future.

We need to find a disagreement. Bell and Soltan disagree about whether Klein should remain in office or step down.

Both Bell and Soltan agree that this is true. Soltan directly states that Klein’s policies have been effective, and Bell indicates agreement by talking about how Klein’s policies averted a future catastrophe.

Both speakers agree with this. Bell admits outright that this is true, and Soltan implies that Klein’s decisions have been unpopular by discussing how Klein will not have a lot of political support for future decisions.

Bell disagrees with this and Soltan agrees, meaning this is their point of disagreement. Bell says that Klein is the leader we need in the future, meaning that Klein should stay in office. On the other hand, Soltan directly states that Klein should step down.

Both speakers agree with this. Bell and Soltan each explicitly discuss the important decisions that will have to be made in the future.

Bell agrees with this and Soltan never disagrees. Soltan doesn’t acknowledge this catastrophe explicitly, but also never says that it wasn’t a problem. So, we can’t say that Soltan disagrees with Bell on this point.
