I got a similar impression from his Pod Save America interview.

The issue he lead with in his first 15 minutes was how he would restructure the supreme court to be 10 judges or something. Not health care, climate change, or the economy. If the host hadn't introduced him as a presidential candidate I would have thought he was some professor that they brought on the podcast.

To even begin to be successful in 2020 he's going to have to focus his message and speak with conviction. He would get destroyed going up against Warren/Harris/Bernie/Trump.

That was a 1:1 interview, not him speaking to an audience. Here he is in S.C. in front of an audience:

Here’s a 2 minute clip of you just want the inspirational part:

His standard speech starts with explaining why you should vote for a 37 y/o mayor, followed by his “freedom, democracy, security” bit. He almost always talks about the environment very early. I imagine on that podcast he only mentioned SCOTUS because he was specifically asked about it and it’s probably likely to be one of his most controversial proposals (the idea isn’t his though, he credits it properly but I don’t recall to whom).
