Opening monologue (9/22/26)

So it's an honor to be here. I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn't be here. You should not. You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't going to cover me, you shouldn't be covering me. But I will tell you, it is an honor to be at the United Nations and we're making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much. CNN, you shouldn't even be there for crying out loud since the president is so terrible and so awful, so terrible, as Charles Barkley would say. So terrible to ban CNN and MSNOW and, of course, Politico from the White House. Not banning anybody, just saying that you lose your privileges because, honestly, you're just there to leak information and to do propaganda. You're not news organizations. They're not news organizations. They are Pravda. They are Izvestia for the Democrat Party. That's what it's all about. Here is the president talking a little bit later about, why are you guys still covering me? He's standing there with Zoran Mandami in New York City outside Gracie Mansion and I'm not a big fan of his chumming up to Zoran Mandami and I don't understand what he's trying to do. I mean, the president, he knows what he's doing, okay? There's something going on there with Mandami in New York. I don't know what it is. He has a soft spot for New York, doesn't want all of his friends destroyed financially or whatever, but something's going on there. Not a big fan of Mandami, but anyway, here he is talking to the president. Why are you still even interested in me at all? Why would you want to be a part of such a dictatorial regime? If we are so terrible and we are so evil and all of these things, why do you want to be so close to us? Oh yeah, Trump is ratings. It's interesting because they said they were going to boycott me, but they never boycott me. So I wasn't very worried about that. Look at all that press. But no, I'm not. I'm only doing it because I think the press also is an obligation and you know, I won in a landslide. I won the election in a landslide. I've done great things. I've done a lot of great things. I said closing the Southern border, eight wars and we have the best economic numbers for the country. We have the lowest poverty in history and the highest wages in history in the history of our country. We have $21 trillion pouring in the biggest number ever. Any country, nobody's ever going to start building stuff again. What we've done. I never get anything positive. It's always negative. Even having to do with the war we've done so well, we have told, look, they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. Let me just put it that way. And they're not doing well. They're not doing well. In fact, I have meetings on it today. They're doing very poorly. You would think that an outlet would write at least reasonably well, but never. If you look at CNN, it's fake news. If you look at MS now, I don't even know what MS now is. Because the two networks are invested in your defeat. That's it. That's why after you got shot in the head in Butler the next day, they blamed you. That's the reason why. This is why I am, uh, I am actually personally to me personally, me personally, I could give a rat's behind. If MS now and CNN and Politico are at the White House, you know, when they're having a pool party, sometimes you get kicked out for bad behavior. Here's Jim Gossett. CNN's press credentials are gone. We revolt them by MS now. We said, leave. You can never return. Fox responded. It seems somehow we have provoked them across the line and they know it. When will they learn? Need to get them out of my life. I don't need fake news. So get the hell out of my life and the White House press pool. You are welcome. No more. For 10 years, you have lied about me, slandered my wife. Go ahead with your own life. Leave me alone. You can't survive without him, can you? I'm glad you are out of my life. Listen, CNN, it's my life. We've never seen this now. It's my life. I've never seen anything like it, honestly. And I've been saying since the president was elected again in a landslide, despite absolute negative press coverage, absolute, you know, 34 felonies, 34 felonies, 34. And we got it. We got a felon in the White House. You know, all of this stuff, all of this nonsense, 92 percent, 95 percent negative news all the time, all the time, 10 years. And somehow we were able to push back and and he won the election in a very grand fashion in 2024. And that isn't going anywhere, by the way. The people who put him there in 2024 went through a year's long slog of abuse, not only being shut down online, being called white supremacists, Nazis, fascists. By the way, none of the news media like MSNBC and CNN pushed back at all on half of the American people being called Nazis, white supremacists. The you know, the biggest threat to America was white supremacy, all made up by the Southern Poverty Law Center. And now they're paying the price and now they're freaking paying the price because honestly, you don't get a seat at the table if you're not going to be a damn journalist. And it's about time he became journalist. Otherwise, why even be in the field? Just just become a government apparatchik. Just go to your your your DNC or your your, you know, your Democrats, socialists of America and get in, get a press position there, because otherwise you're about as worthless, about as worthless as my dad used to say, as teats on a boar, which now I guess the boars, which are male pigs, can identify as female. So maybe that's not so timely anymore, but that was an expression that my my dad used to use here is last night. And by the way, Newsmax just blew up yesterday on social media, absolutely blew up on social media, was on X trending all day. Part of it was, you know, the the the story of James Rosen, who talked about how Barack Obama weaponized the DOJ against him and one of his sources who he's never revealed, by the way. But they wanted to throw the book at him. They they took the first amendment of the Constitution and used it like bathroom tissue and all of that. Then, of course, last night, the great Greg Kelly sat down with J.D. Vance in a magnificent interview about all of this. I think the danger is that it further erodes trust in our public institutions. Right. I'm one of these people who actually really believes you need an honest news media. You need you know, if I have a question about what's going on the world, I want to be able to turn on the TV or read an article and know, you know, maybe it's not perfect, but it's at least coming from a place where the person writing it is trying to tell me the truth. Do you suppose that Jake Tapper wants to know the truth? Because honestly, when he was dining with Anthony Fauci during the height of the pandemic, do you suppose he really wanted the truth or he just wanted to kiss Fauci's butt? How about that? How about Jim Acosta? You suppose he wants to know the truth. How about Don Lemon? Do you suppose he wants to do the truth? How about Joy Reed? Do you suppose she wanted to know the truth? Of course not. They're all party apparatchiks. They are all political party apparatchiks for the Democrat Party. And maybe this is the what for that they need. I said this. I said that that the Trump administration in the second term is going to have to be able to get the message out in a vacuum of good news from the leftist media. The Rob Carson Show.
