There's nothing there he couldn't have scripted and read before he was killed. Besides the fact that he was reading from notes again instead of from cue cards or a TelePrompter -- that's one of the reasons it was surmised that his original post-bunker-bombing appearance was thought to be a rehearsal (the other was that he was wearing glasses, which he wasn't in this tape).
He's dead. Even if he isn't, he is.
