Where is this from?

Listening to the person (assuming it's a priest?), what I got flashbacks of was our own Church that doesn't explain why the Church is making the rules.

Everything ties to Theosis. The Church is providing a path, a way, towards becoming more like God. Fasting, sacraments, liturgy ... all can be lovingly explained with Theosis in mind.

What the gentleman was arguing for was the Catholic Church, where things are very legalistic and hierarchical. The Church doesn't need to be made more power .. the Church is powerful because it is the ultimate Truth

I believe that's Fr. Anthony Messeh. This priest is the webmaster of OrthodoxSermons.com
