We have three IG (ph) audits right now. >> the president said something to the effect of, i'm the effing president.

I want to go back to the age thing again. RADDATZ: And Vladimir Putin vows to fight on. RADDATZ: Donna, we have just a a short time here, but I I want to end where we began, and that's Ukraine. I'm being deadly earnest. MCCAIN: Because it has to be dictated by events on the ground, not by an arbitrary date and not an arbitrary date. RADDATZ (voice over): Plus, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul. EMILY KOHRS: I will be sad if nothing happens. You can see theres some Ukraine fatigue. He clearly never said that. BRAZILE: Yeah, but I mean, who knows? This is not the first time this year, or this Summer, that George has been absent from the show for an extended period of time. Are you running? RADDATZ: And, Terry, this isn't the only investigation? Is the enthusiasm there? And it -- he left that trick on the table for Donald Trump to come in and say, "I'm your guy," even though it was the Trump administration which changed the regulations which helped perhaps to contribute to this event. ", "Why as far back as the Trump administration did no one know about this?". MUIR: You announced another $2.5 billion in aid to Ukraine today.

Got a tip? Before that, the husband and wife jetted off to Paris, where they shared many pictures of their trip. For now, we have no idea why George hasnt been on Good Morning America. However, after all that happened and both George and his wife had recovered from the coronavirus, he has made numerous TV appearances, from GMA to his Sunday series This Week with George Stephanopoulos to, more recently, Howard Stern's radio show on May 13. We're talking about unprecedented territory here, 82 years old when he ends this term. We've all been in Ukraine this week. I'm not being facetious.

Here now, Martha Raddatz. But this isnt the first time that George has disappeared from our TV screens and the uncertainty is making fans worry. are the first two replies to Robin's tweet, but she hasn't replied to fans' burning question. All Rights Reserved. Because, probably, for the last year leading up to the midterms, I really dug deep on inflation, and I will say I was the first person to raise my hand and say I thought that that was really going to derail Democrats in the midterms. It's an acceptable role for a former political operative with partisan baggage. Asked for comment on his notable absence from the ABC News election night desk, Stephanopoulos told The Daily Beast on Tuesday afternoon that he signed a new deal and thats what Im focused on. He declined to comment further when asked if his absence was at all related to Muir. But, you know, the president said it very well, that he wants to finish the job. I mean, look, everybody has a moment, Martha, but we're talking about -- he wants us to watch him. Neither ABC News nor Muir responded to a request for comment. And -- and your thoughts politically on President Biden's trip to Ukraine? He returned immediately to defend his country yet again. What I can say is, so far we have not seen them do it. ABCs top political anchor and host of both Good Morning America and This Week will not spearhead or be involved in the broadcast networks night-of coverage after leading it in both 2018 and 2020, a press release indicated last week. Were also finding out now that one of the outlets has decided that they even put things on they know to be false in order to increase their ratings.

ANNOUNCER: THIS WEEK with George Stephanopoulos starts right now. take me up to the capitol now. They -- they're losing on the cultural issues, but as Bernie Sanders and some others have demonstrated, they can connect on that. If you're the defense, you're going to call her in and youre going to ask her to explain all the stuff she was talking about, and it's a distraction for the prosecution. Only 16 percent said they were better off. RADDATZ: And that's all for us today. Distractify is a registered trademark. SULLIVAN: My understanding is that the NORAD commander, the general in charge of the defense of North American air space, has not recalibrated our radar, that we continue to be vigilant for unidentified objects coming into U.S. territory. I mean, we saw 75 people, and there are six pages of the report cut out. And so I think that, if we're going to look at the X factor of the economy for President Biden heading into 2024, I think he's potentially in a better position than Democrats were in the midterms, and ultimately the economy did not factor into the midterms as much as we thought it was going to. Election night coverage will instead be led by World News Tonight anchor David Muir. The journalist has a verified Instagram account and seems relatively active, but he hasnt posted anything in the past week. It helped Ukraine defend Kyiv. George Stephanopoulos has been absent from GMA all week. MCCAUL: It -- it could. That was Javelin anti-tank weapons and Stinger anti-air systems. But it doesnt mean we disregard whats happening, this struggle for the global balance of power that were facing right now. You said they were a threat to civil aviation. That doesn't seem like a winning slogan there. MUIR: But if they did, would that be crossing a line for you, Mr. President? And, Terry, you cover the courts for us. And Democrats do have something to say to the large forces, large corporate forces exploiting people in rural America. BRAZILE: But do it some time this summer or this fall. AMBASSADOR LINDA THOMAS-GREENFIELD: George, President Biden has been very, very clear that American troops will not be put on the ground or in the air to escalate this war and make this an American war against the Russians. BIDEN: Look, we're sending him what our seasoned military thinks he needs now. RADDATZ: Chris, the former prosecutor, did she -- did she damage it? He sacrificed for free Europe. This morning, we're going to assess the state of the conflict, where it's headed, growing concerns about China's role, and speak with Ukrainians on the ground about life under Russia's assault. He brought down the Soviet Union. CHRISTIE: Yeah, we have been. And the F-16 question is a question for later.

George Stephanopoulos was missing from his usual GMA slot on December 19, 2022, and fans are curious to know why. I think, with enough pressure from Congress on both sides of the aisle, we can get into Ukraine what they really need to win this fight.

There are things he needs now that we're sending him to put him in a position to be able to make gains this spring and this summer going into the fall. A tank called the Leopard. And I think, if we look at the inflation picture today, the economy is, by most metrics, healthier than it was six months ago. The post 'You're Still Not Answering My Question!' I did a firsthand, you know, look at this in theater in Ukraine and in Poland, about the humanitarian assistance. And Letitia James, the the attorney general in in New York literally ran on a campaign promise that he should be scared of her and she will find out where hes laundering all his money. And, quite frankly, Martha, this whole thing is taking too long, and it really didn't have to happen this way. Clearly that was for surveillance. You talk about tanks. MUIR: I heard that too, just before I came in. In the case of those three, the president received a recommendation from his senior military advisors, including the NORAD commander, to take action out of an abundance of caution. ", Another said: "George wait till they find one with you.". He said he's running, basically, but he "has things to finish." RADDATZ: OK. And, yes, America is ready for a woman president at some point. Is He Sick? But is that something he's waiting for as well, to see that his numbers go up after some of these things are complete? For me, for my citizens, every meter of our land, it is motherland. And, honestly, Martha, the highest priority right now is to move as rapidly as possible, to build up their capacity, to de-occupy those portions of Ukraine that are still being occupied brutally and bloodily by Russian forces. "We're going to be coming forward with a plan," the Kentucky lawmaker said. And he acted. There are no TV Airings of This Week With George Stephanopoulos in the next 14 days. Look, if you are an executive leader and there is a disaster, people expect you to be there.

And I was told there was a special operations team on that train to help out in case anything went wrong. Robin also noted that she had only told her colleagues about the clip during a commercial break. The great thing about this country is we can have political dialogue, discourse.
