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.

No, he really thinks/thought that islands in the Pacific are floaters. I will bet you there are many people who believe the same. I believe he talks that way because of the drugs for his illness.

And how do you know that so definitively?

Because it is what it is. Sometimes you just can't undumbass yourself when you make a stupid statement. Happens to all of us at some time or the other.
