President's Remarks at United Nations

President came in, he briefly came over to speak to the

reporters, who I should

note are here because we are credentialed by the United Nations

while being

blocked by the White House from covering the president, and we asked him this

question about that new CNN polling.

Mr. President, two-thirds of Americans, two-thirds of Americans don't

think the US is winning the war with Iran. When will it end?

What's your question?

Well, it's an honor to be here. I'm surprised that CNN

is here covering me.

You should-

The United Nations allowed us in, sir.

You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't gonna cover me.

You shouldn't be covering me.

Two-thirds of Americans don't l- think that the US is winning the war with

Iran.

I'm proud of you. It's an honor to be at the United Nations.

When will it end?

We're making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well.

Thank you very much. You guys-

American-

Of course, Wolf, as you and Pamela know, we never said we were not going to cover

the president. We will do our best to cover him each

and every day.

We were actually positioned in this spot last year when the president was here long

before all of this back and forth over access to the White House

began

as it did on Friday. And we will continue to cover the

president despite their

efforts to block CNN from accessing the White House grounds as we are currently

fighting in court. And as that plays out though, of course,

what we are watching

here are the headlines from the United Nations when it comes to the president's

speech and what he does say about the war with Iran because a lot of these world

leaders will be listening closely, especially those Gulf leaders, Wolf,

who are

going to be meeting with the president on the sidelines of this summit today, and

also have been some of the most directly impacted by this war in Iran

as they have fired missiles and drones at several o- of the United

States' allies in the region. So all of that is something we'll be

watching very

closely here at the United Nations today, Wolf.

It's really amazing. The United Nations open up,

opens up the door to

all the news organizations covering the president, uh, who's in New York

today for this UN speech, uh, even as the White House bars news

organizations from covering the President of the United States.

I wanna go to Jim-
