Yes, the speaker has an considered view. In memorizing the book of Hebrews (took me 9 years) this knotty passage offered a great opportunity for meditation. It takes a deeper study of the Greek to get at the meaning in context, and those who think that the passage describes that one can lose one's salvation is mistaken. But the speaker in this video would be corrected by Barnes, who has a clearer (but necessarily lengthy) summary.

One must always keep in mind that this section is primarily addressed to the Jewish diaspora who, having operated under the law covenant, met all the conditions--but under the law, could fall aside, and miss the benefit of the first (and only) crucifixion.
