He is just saying those things to mess with the press and media, and they are so stupid that it works.

The song, as sung by Johnny Mandel, is played during the film's opening credits. Additionally, the movie also features a scene that begins when Walter Koskiusko Waldowski, a dentist nicknamed Painless Pole, declares his intention to commit suicide, and the song is sung by Ken Prymus (playing Sergeant Seidman) during the suicide scene. Several instrumental versions of the song were used as the theme for the TV series (in which Painless Pole was mentioned, but never appeared)."

On an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the 1980s, Robert Altman said that his son earned more than a million dollars for co-writing the song while he only made $70,000 for directing the movie.
