The captain failed to make the crossing restr 25 mi west of mht by 2500 ft. He made the altitude required at 20 mi west of mht or 5 mi late. The first officer asked the captain twice if he was aware of the crossing restr, but he failed to comply even though he understood the restr. The captain's situational awareness is very low. He seems to be distracted by something unknown to other crew members.
