The answer to your question about Mr.Bryson not wanting to debate any longer is not answered in this small video. I'm sure there must be more discussion in this debate that is not recorded here.

It appears in his argument that Mr. Bryson separates "ability" from "coming". He seems to want to place the emphasis on the human responsibility part of coming to Christ. In other words he would say God gives us the keys to the car but it won't get us anywhere unless we start the engine and drive away. This is a typical argument from those who refuse to admit total depravity.

While that argument may sound plausible at a certain level Scripture disputes it. Jesus said, "All that the Father gives Me WILL come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never cast out." (John 6:37)

The problem Mr. Bryson has is typical of many who do not read things in context but rather impose their bias into the reading of a text. If one were to read the verses preceding verse 44 they would not come to the same conclusion Bryson has. In fact in verse 45 we read "Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me". God leads to faith all whom He plans to redeem. The redemption of the elect is certain.
