He maintains jet fuel does not burn at temperatures high enough to melt steel beams

Steel gets soft way before it melts. This is an argument for those with a grossly malfunctioning cortex.

He's right. The Jet fuel didn't melt the beams. It didn't even soften them. The fuel burned up too fast to affect the beams. What it DID do was provide the ignition to set the rest of the building on fire. Which burned at 1500 degrees. And THAT softened the beams so that the building could collapse.
