so if you saw the show last night you
[4]
saw that dr mark siegel asked the
[6]
president about the
[7]
cognitive ability test white house
[10]
physicians have given him
[11]
and amazingly the president was happy to
[13]
talk about details here's part of it
[16]
it was 30 or 35 questions the first
[18]
questions are very easy
[20]
the last questions are much more
[21]
difficult
[23]
like a memory question it's like you'll
[26]
go
[26]
person woman man
[30]
camera tv
[33]
so they say could you repeat that so i
[37]
said yeah
[38]
so it's person woman man
[41]
camera tv okay that's very good
[46]
so guess who else was watching that
[49]
the weight lifter over on cnn
[52]
and his buddy don lemon so
[55]
the weightlifter for the governor's
[56]
brother decided to administer the test
[59]
the president
[59]
has taken to international tv star don
[62]
lemon and here's what happened next
[65]
when do you take that that looks like
[67]
something for middle school well
[69]
you take that when usually listen i'm
[71]
not a doctor and i'm going to let dr
[73]
reiner explain it in a little bit
[74]
yeah but usually when there is some
[75]
issue of some concern about
[77]
um you know your cognitive abilities
[80]
oh what were the animal shapes uh well
[84]
it's a lion
[85]
a hippo and a camel isn't that a rhino
[88]
in the middle or i know
[90]
you don't even know a hippo you've got
[92]
no acuity son
[93]
you've got you're looking at it
[95]
backwards i'm looking at it backwards
[97]
what does it mean if you don't know an
[98]
elephant from a rhino an elephant
[102]
what does it mean if you don't know a
[104]
rhino from an elephant
[106]
well you may not be a physician but i
[108]
think you know what it means
[110]
it means low acuity and that's not a
[112]
surprise in the case of don lamont a
[113]
perfectly cheerful person
[115]
maybe the slowest person ever to appear
[117]
on cable news
[118]
you'll never forget and in case you have
[120]
we have the tape
[122]
mr lamont's malaysia airlines segment
[125]
the one in which he speculated that
[127]
maybe the flight
[128]
had vanished into a black hole
[132]
whether it was hijacking or terrorism or
[134]
mechanical failure or pilot error but
[136]
what if it was something
[137]
fully that we don't really understand a
[139]
lot of people have been asking about
[141]
that about
[142]
black holes and on and on and on they're
[144]
also referencing the twilight zone which
[146]
has a very similar plot
[148]
that's what people are saying i know
[149]
it's preposterous but is it preposterous
[151]
you think mary
[152]
hmm turns out we know this because
[156]
we have access to a scientific portal we
[159]
call google
[160]
that the nearest black hole is about
[162]
three thousand
[163]
light years away boeing triple sevens
[166]
can't yet
[167]
fly that far now just in case it seems
[170]
like we're being a little cruel to mr
[172]
lamont
[172]
or the dark dwarf king who employs him
[174]
let me just say that there is
[176]
love at the bottom of this because mr
[178]
lamont combines
[180]
almost supernatural slowness
[183]
with remarkable self-confidence and if
[185]
you don't believe it pull up again on
[187]
google
[188]
a magazine profile he sat for a few
[190]
years ago in which he declared
[192]
with total assuredness that the frozen
[196]
dessert the rest of us call sorbet is
[199]
actually pronounced
[200]
sorbette he was adamant about that he's
[202]
a news anchor
[203]
how can you not love a man like that
[205]
howie carr
[206]
read that he watches don lemon mr carr
[209]
is the undisputed radio king of new
[211]
england
[212]
he joins us tonight howie were you
[214]
surprised by the results of that exam
[216]
administered live on air at cnn
[220]
you know having watched uh don lemon on
[222]
on new year's eve
[224]
in those celebrations i think if he had
[226]
been presented with silhouettes of
[228]
a different type of product say bar room
[231]
glasses i think he would have done fine
[232]
you know shot glass
[234]
cocktail glass rocks glass wine goblet
[237]
he would have been okay
[238]
i you know i always thought that lawyers
[240]
uh learned early on
[242]
that uh you never ask questions in court
[245]
of a witness unless you know the answer
[246]
to them
[247]
and uh obviously they didn't do too much
[250]
prep work for that
[251]
uh that that interview you know they
[253]
would just figure you know
[255]
if trump uh if trump says he didn't take
[257]
the test then they hit him and they say
[258]
why won't he take the test what's he
[260]
hiding
[260]
so he takes the test and then they they
[262]
uh they make a support of him anyway
[264]
you know i've taken this this test and
[266]
uh you know i thought the president
[268]
summed it up pretty well i mean it's
[270]
you know immediately whether you're uh
[272]
whether you're acing it or not you know
[274]
if they
[274]
they they give you the the face of a
[276]
clock with no
[278]
no arms on it they say get 10 what's 10
[280]
10
[281]
and you get it i'd i'd love to hear don
[284]
lemon do
[285]
do some of those uh tests that they also
[287]
give you they're they're the same kind
[288]
of test they give you in field sobriety
[290]
uh tests
[291]
you know so but there's something he
[293]
would pass
[294]
because and i mean the sincere there's
[296]
there's something really endearing
[299]
about the fact that he's never
[301]
embarrassed this does not
[302]
apply to the steroid head buddy on the
[304]
screen with him but don lamont
[306]
nothing embarrasses him isn't there
[309]
something kind of appealing
[310]
about that i i guess there is i would
[313]
wouldn't you love to see him uh
[315]
you know mr lamone can you count
[317]
backwards
[318]
from uh 100 counting down seven
[321]
or or even better here's the one i
[323]
really love and i always love to do this
[325]
when i have a chance to uh
[327]
you know do a police report recite the
[330]
alphabet
[331]
backwards senator or you know they
[334]
they never they never get much beyond
[336]
mrn wouldn't you like to see
[338]

[343]

[345]
new job classifications in the last 48
[347]
