I can hardly understand his relaxed pronunciation.
 
I think he begins and intends to say "Yeah; ultimately..." but he changes his mind in mid-phrase and truncates the word "ultimately" before going on to say something else.

That's why I think politics I mean, we could talk about politics. Authomatic subtitles originated from two sources suggest "I mean, we could talk about politics". I do not hear "mean" while I can hardly make out ""we could".
 
He barely utters "about", but the rest is quite audible.

Does he actually say: "I mean, we could talk about politics"?. The word "mean", if it is the case, is very difficult to make out.
 
That's why I think politics ... I mean, we could talk about politics ... That's why I think we have a problem at the moment
