Yeah, I mean he says "math is a posteriori" and then says he was just alluding to an alternative position, as if he had no attachment to it.
Personally I find Khem to be a rather disingenuous debater who backpedals and strawmans people a lot, and I say that just to give my opinion of him and warn others of wasting their time expecting straightforward responses from him like I have over the years.
I mean, WLC is considered one of the best Christian debaters by many, and he's as disingenuous as they come. Seeking the truth and being right is more important than seeming right and being declared a winner of debates, regardless of what is true and who and what is actually right.
Of course, I could be wrong about Khem, but I doubt it. My experience tells me otherwise.
Now, I could be mistaken about my experience and I urge others to experience Khem for themselves so as to not poison the well, but there's my 2 cents on Khem for whatever it's worth.

The fact the opposite position exists doesn't mean it isn't plain wrong.
