Lots of sniffing and speaking in a monotone like he's bored out of his mind.

Seriously. You can also notice it when he is standing with his arms down, they hang in front of his thighs as opposed to them lining up with sides of his legs.

What I noticed about the video is how short of breath he is. Some of that "sniffing" noise is him inhaling thru his nose for breath to keep speaking.

there is no way he remembered all those dates and big numbers he mentions. 700 billion, 716 billion, 738 billion

"we have done things with the military that few people would have thought possible"

"...advanced equipment anywhere on earth, equipment that nobody even could have conceived of even 2 years ago"

they are spending all this money on The Space Command. what about spending some money here on earth.
