"Here's the thing" can be used as a buildup to an insult and to make sure you'll have the attention of the receiving party. Ending it with a "that's more or less the thing" will let them know that you've finished conveying this information.

Example:
Jack: My allegiance is to the law, I'm paid to uphold the law.
Bill: What in the heaven's name are you talking about? You may have misgivings, but don't go believing that, Jack. That way lies damnation.
Jack: I'm in no danger of damnation, Bill.
Bill: Here's the thing, I don't give tuppenny fuck about your moral conundrum you meat-headed shit sack, that's more or less the thing.

A term one says as they’re about to either give valid reasoning for something (often with a bit of sass) or spew absolute bullshit

Example:
Ex. A: “Here’s the thing; if you’re really trying to lose weight, you should probably avoid eating fast food every other day”

Ex. B; “Here’s the thing; you can’t be related to a WWII vet because the Holocaust didn’t even happen”
