#MSNBC NICOLE WALLACE SERIES#

Wallace: You know, I wrote a report about journalism and journalists, I think in third grade. What did you want to do or be when you were in high school? Rosenberg: And you said it's a town in which you grew up thinking you can do anything or be anything. All four of us got into Berkeley and all four kids and my family went to Cal.

Rosenberg: And maybe the kids did, but perhaps parents felt otherwise. So, we were sort of the only family that rooted against admissions. But our rule was if we got in, it was such a good school, if we got in, we had to go. Wallace: Well, because it was 17 miles away from the town in which I grew up. I think that I was really lucky to go to Berkeley but I remember wanting to go anywhere but You know, people grow up thinking-you know I get-a lot of towns-that anything's possible. Rosenberg: Which I think I once read is one of the friendliest towns in America. I know you were born in Southern California and grew up in Northern California, a town called Orinda. Rosenberg: We'll talk about some of those, but I wanted to go back to earlier days. You know, I keep showing up where the big, big story is whether it's the recount, or Sarah Palin, or this Trump story now. Wallace: I have felt like Forest Gump for a lot of my career. You know, I learned a little bit about you just reading and watching some old video clips, and you've had a really interesting sort of career. Wallace: It's so cool that you're doing this. Today on the Oath, I sit down with Nicolle Wallace, who's had a fascinating career at the intersection of journalism, politics, and public service, working her way up from a reporter for a small television station in Fargo, North Dakota, to become the director of communications for the president of the United States: George W.
