Not sure about a new video of James Duane, but there’s a relatively recent write-up[0].

His advice generally stands, but with caveats:

— To prevent invoking the 5th from seeming as admission of guilt to jurors and to the public, it may be safer to invoke the right to counsel instead and refuse to talk without your lawyer present.

— In case of traffic stops invoking the 5th may be overkill and polite talk may be productive, unless body or car search (or canine sniffing) is involved.
