I watched it multiple times as well. What was clear to me from the entire video is that his speech pattern overall is very monotone, lacking in modulation, making everything he says sound Joe-Friday-just-the-facts-ma'am. Whether that's from medication or health or some other reason, or whether that's just how he talks (I people like that), I don't know.

But's it's something I've seen many times in court -- an attempt at sarcasm or facetiousness that falls flat because of a delivery devoid of any intonational cues.
