At 5:01 he mentions a previous presentation from Colonel Henderson which is probably Scott Henderson, previously SpaceX's director of Mission Assurance and Integration and now Orbital Launch Director at Blue Origin.Time frame must have been between 01/20 (after the IFA) and before 01/26 (before Starlink 3 slipped to 1/29).
And context. Who was he addressing?
I asked to poster to add credit and context, which he’s now done.
at 7:15: Price of F9 recoverable: 30 Million (I think he means cost, as price is what the customer pays and cost is what SpaceX spends on it)
Was watching this at 1:40 eastern time on February 2nd, it went private one third of the way through. Oh well.

As you say, he seems to be mixing up price and cost a lot. If that's the price, then wow...

The whole recorded bit of the presentation was only twenty something minutes (28, by memory), and it did stop abruptly, even before it was made private (I watched it before one o'clock).
Join me live from 10-11am CST for the Brownsville 2030 Space City panel discussion with @STARSocietyRGV and @SpaceX

SpaceX @elonmusk onstage at #AWS2020 for fireside chat with @SMC_CC Gets rousing ovation
Musk: the creation of the Space Force is cool. It makes sense there’s a branch for every domain
Musk: we can make Starfleet real but we have to make radical innovations. We won’t get there with expendable rockets
Musk: US has to create breakthrough innovation , incremental is not good enough #AWS2020
Musk: US has to innovate or it will be second in space. How ? Reusability is extremely fundamental for assured access to space
Musk: vehicle we’re working on #starship is the holy grail which is full reusability #AWS2020
Musk: it would be good to have other companies develop competing reusable vehicles like Starship . He mentions the F-35. Would be nice to have competition ... hmmmm
Musk: failure has to be an option . What you want is to reward success but there should be minor consequences for trying and not suceeding. And major consequences for not trying #AWS2020
Musk: volume production and volume launch of a reusable system is super super hard. Not reusable like the Space Shuttle. Has to be agile like an aircraft. Shuttle too expensive #AWS2020
Musk: building a city in Mars will require fully reusable vehicles to lift 5 million tons of cargo #AWS2020
Musk: Starlink satellites are being produced faster than we can launch them. We need Starship for launch costs to come down #AWS2020
Musk: in the next five years one of the most transformative technologies will be AI . I tell young people to study computer science and physics #AWS2020
