gesture really extraordinary and joe biden s time, joe biden, you see the humanity there. what so many people hate about most politicians being so perfectly practiced and focused, it doesn t apply to joe biden. this guy is real. anybody that knows him loves him. you can t help but love the guy when you meet him. he s also mischiefous. i don t know that hillary loves joe biden. we can talk about that. we ll be talking about that. obviously the president s state of the union tonight. josh earnest is coming up. and willie geist, also last hour we talked about alabama, talked about winning the national championship, extraordinary job by nick saban. one guy we did not mention, deshawn watson, extraordinary quarterback, at one point i got some remark statistics.
thought i was obnoxious. before we went to break mika called me obnoxious so you re in a pretty good club. it is fascinating, willie, i said it openly i called donald trump early in the campaign i ve known donald for ten years, donald you need to apologize for what you said about senator mccain pup need to apologize. trump, the megyn kelly comment. finally after the tenth time was like oh, hell, obviously this is speaking to something that i don t understand. you can t apologize, you can t admit weakness. last night he was on with jimmy fallon. fallon said donald have you ever cried? he paused and said when i was 1. he said it in a funny way. that gets to the core of who he is and his message. we talk to supporters.
again regulates have. the my is a good place to start. what we ve seen we ve seen an economy that is going through some wrenching changes as a result of technology. that technology has spread prosperity in ways that were unimaginable even a decade ago. at the same time this posed significant challenges. not just jobs on the factory floor being replaced by technology but all kinds of jobs in a variety of sectors. the challenge for this country and for the government of the american people is how do we support our workforce as we go through these changes and what can we do to help our workforce to capitalize. look, there are some candidates particularly on the republican side who concluded it s in their interest to exploit people s fears and insecurities about those changes. the fact is the president hasn t been more optimistic about the ability of our country and capacity of our people to meet dhools. josh it s willie geist. big focus in tonight s speech on guns. leaving one seat open
does is complain about it and then sulk in his corner then it s a failure. if he uses it as an opportunity to separate himself and perhaps take a page out of donald trump s book and figure out how to make the big news that night off the stage, i mean hell i would set up a podium outside and i would actually hold a protest outside and talk about the issues that do something with it. you can just complain and sulk off. i m so embarrassed. mika, this is embarrassing. he s going to have to hold a press conference. he has to quit. he has to show the escalator going down. i m out. willie geist we called this guy the abraham lincoln of our time two years ago. two years ago before we even knew he would run. it s over. he s no old abe.
it was henry taking over the game. and then the second half, coker was great. alabama fans haven t been sure about over the years. he comes in. no interceptions. throws a touchdown. 350 yards. he played great. you do have to say about saban, can you ever imagine a day, joe, where people would be starting to have a debate, bryant versus nick saban. bryant, i don t have to tell you is god down there, the stadium is named after him and everything else as well. nick saban, i don t know, he s played in a tough era because he s had to go through playoffs and sec championship games, he had to win things that bryant did. he s sneaking into that conversation. i ll tell you something else, willie as you were saying. back when bryant was coaching you could get the 200 best players in the southeast to play on your team. you had all these advantages.
