NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen appeared with co-host Brian Kilmeade to share his take on the subject of Joe Biden being considered too old to be president on the February 12 episode of 'Fox & Friends'.

Kilmeade began the segment by sharing the report of an ABC News and IPSOS poll that showed 86% of Americans believed that the incumbent was too old to serve, a concern shared by the New York Times editorial board which published an op-ed titled 'The Challenges of an Aging President'.

The article read, "His assurances, in other word, didn't work. He must do better - the stakes in this presidential election are too high ... This is a dark moment for Mr Biden's presidency."

The poll results acted as a confirmation

Thiessen shared that the polls confirmed their collective fears, as it jumped up 10% within weeks to show more people getting concerned with the President's age.

"We're judging that based on his public appearances," he explained. "We look behind ... and say to ourselves, 'Oh my god, if he is this bad in public, what is he like behind closed doors? And the special counsel just lifted the veil..."

"Five hours of interview and he has diminished faculty and bad memory, and he is doing these interviews while he is managing the October 7 crisis. He can't remember when he (was) Vice-President, he can't remember the dates of his service, he can't remember when his son died - this is a very diminished man who is Commander-in-Chief," he added.

Demands to see the Biden's interview tapes

Kilmeade and Thiessen claimed in unison that the recording of Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur should be released to clear the doubts surrounding the accuracy of the report.

"The White House is attacking Robert Hur and saying (the report) is inaccurate, this is partisan, and all the rest of it," said Thiessen, before adding, "There is a simple way to find out. Let's see the tapes, let's hear the president."

Biden would have to step down the very next day if the recordings were released, believes Thiessen.

"This is not just a matter of 'Is Joe Biden capable of serving another term?' It's 'Is he capable of finishing his current term in office?'" he added.
