I think this is part of a speech to a committee by opposition MP Shinji Oguma. I lack the language skills to be sure, but it appears as if this MP is being quite blunt; effectively saying you can't polish a turd. I agree with MP Oguma. Don't negotiate with extortionists.

This looks like AI - look at his hands at about the 2:11 mark.

I see the hand thing there. And the movement is setting off some warning lights for me. There's something weird about the way he moves when talking. I think it's AI too.

Looks like it's a lipsynched face filter for a text to speech translation of a Japanese language speech

I was wondering why he would be speaking English to other Japanese officials.

That is the translator speaking. Scroll up to the split sreen with Trump. That's the original audio.

As an American who was an adult paying attention during the Reagan years I learned that America does willingly negotiate with terrorists. Bush 1, same principal of secretly negotiating with terrorists. Tough talking Bush 2? Very deep negotiations. Hell, we even adapted their tactics in prisons.
