Just a question to establish context. Nothing tricky here, yet. 😈
Why this score: The speaker is asking a direct question to the other person about their last visit to the UK. It's a straightforward setup for a point they intend to make, not a rhetorical trick in itself.

Asked for numbers, got 'you're the problem' and 'the media'. That's not an argument, it's a tantrum with a target. 🔥
Why this score: When pressed for 'what numbers?' the speaker pivots immediately to a personal attack ('you're the problem') and a broad generalization ('the media'), followed by an emotional appeal about being 'loathed'. This avoids addressing the original request for evidence and instead attacks a perceived opponent, a classic straw man tactic.
Original quote: “What numbers? >> I think I think you're the problem. The media. Um, and and speaking of loathing, you're loathed far more than I am. And you don't seem to even realize that.”

At 14:30
