During an \u200cappearance on Bill Maher&#8217;s &#8220;Club \u200dRandom&#8221; podcast, Steele recounted the strange exchange she\u200c had with\u2062 Biden during a March 2021 \u2063interview. Before the virtual interview began, she could hear Biden&#8217;s audio but couldn&#8217;t see him\u200c because the White House staff had \u200dcovered \u2063the\u200c camera\u200b lens on his side.<\/p>\n<p>Steele recalled, &#8220;I heard him and he goes, &#8216;What is this for?&#8217; &#8230; And he&#8217;s \u2063like, &#8216;Who am I talking \u2063to? Wait \u2014 what&#8217;s her \u2064name?'&#8221; The situation was reminiscent of a scene from a &#8220;Naked Gun&#8221; movie,\u200c as Maher jokingly pointed \u200bout.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually,\u200d Biden understood that\u2063 the interview \u200bwas for &#8220;SportsCenter.&#8221; However, as they prepared to start the interview, Steele tried to fill in the time by \u200dsaying, &#8220;Hi, Mr. President. Nice to meet you.&#8221; In response, Biden launched into stories\u2062 about his college football \u2064days, \u200bboasting about his skills. But when Steele asked \u2064if\u200b he was a receiver, his voice trailed off, and \u200che went silent, saying, &#8220;Uh&#8230; never\u2062 mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Former ESPN\u2063 host Sage Steele says that interviewing Joe Biden was \u201cthe\u2062 saddest thing\u201d because he seemed confused and \u201ccouldn\u2019t\u2062 finish his sentences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis voice just trailed off.

Steele expressed sadness, realizing that Biden&#8217;s struggles \u200bwith\u200b finishing sentences were likely \u2064the reason he spent much of the election cycle in\u2063 his basement. Maher,\u2064 on his HBO\u2062 program &#8220;Real Time with Bill Maher,&#8221; openly\u200b stated that he does not want Biden to run for a second term.<\/p>\n<p>While Steele did not \u2063vote for Biden, she clarified that\u2062 she doesn&#8217;t love or hate any \u200cpolitician. \u2064She\u2062 emphasized the importance of separating personal feelings from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/after-trashing-dr-oz-as-carpetbagger-media-shrug-at-dc-fundraiser-taking-california-senate-seat\/\" title=\"Media dismisses DC fundraiser for California Senate seat after criticizing Dr. Oz as carpetbagger.\">evaluating politicians based<\/a> on their track\u2064 record \u200band policies.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u200d their political differences, both Maher and \u2064Steele\u200d agreed that Biden&#8217;s \u200bage \u2064and cognitive\u2063 decline make him unfit for the job. As the 2024\u200c election approaches, it seems increasingly unlikely that Biden will be the Democratic Party&#8217;s nominee.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/sage-steele-witnessed-cognitive-decline-biden-espn-interview-sad\/\">The Western \u200bJournal<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How did Steele&#8217;s \u200dencounter\u200c with President Biden \u200cat the University of Notre Dame affect\u2062 her perception\u200d of his \u2063mental fitness?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200dPut\u200c Biden at ease by bringing up \u200btheir mutual connection to the University of Notre\u2062 Dame. \u2062She mentioned\u200c that her father was a graduate of the university,\u2064 to which \u200dBiden responded, &#8220;Good \u200cfor him!&#8221; in a\u200c sarcastic tone.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout \u200dthe interview, \u2063Steele noticed several instances of cognitive decline \u2064from \u2063the \u2063President. \u2063She \u200brecounted moments where \u200bhe \u2064would\u200b stumble over his words, have difficulty focusing,\u2063 and display a lack of coherence \u200cin his\u2062 responses.\u2064 At\u200b one point, \u200dBiden even asked Steele to repeat her question because he had forgotten it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was \u2062so \u200csad to witness,&#8221;\u2063 Steele expressed. &#8220;As a journalist, it&#8217;s \u200dmy job to \u2064ask tough\u200c questions, \u2064but seeing someone in \u2063such a powerful \u200bposition struggling like that was \u200bdifficult.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steele&#8217;s\u2064 account adds to\u200b the growing \u2062concern \u2064over Biden&#8217;s mental fitness.
