| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's whoop. We're continuing our 25th season celebration, and today I get to talk |
| 0:07.5 | to one of my favorite people, Nicole Wallace. I met Nicole when she joined the show as |
| 0:12.4 | a co-host for one season in 2014, and we became friends from that very moment. She was |
| 0:19.5 | the White House Communications Director to President George W. Bush, and also served as |
| 0:24.9 | Senior Advisor to McCain Palin Campaign in 2008. Since leaving the view, she now anchors |
| 0:32.0 | her own cable news show. Okay, today we talk about why we instantly became close friends, |
| 0:39.2 | what it was like to work with Rosie O'Donnell and how Nicole really felt about being let |
| 0:44.5 | go from the show. And now here's our conversation. Hi. Hi. Oh my gosh. There's a whole bunch |
| 0:54.1 | of... I miss you too. But you've gone to a better place. That's how we talk about you. She's |

| 1:37.1 | about the view? I only miss you. I quoted you yesterday. I remember |
| 1:42.4 | who I was talking about. I said, is whoopie Goldberg would say he's a grown-ass man. You know, |
| 1:47.4 | I mean, you're in my head all the time because you're in my heart all the time, but you're also |
| 1:53.4 | the smartest political observer I've ever been around. And you said in the summer of 2015, |
| 2:01.2 | y'all watch out, he's going to be your all's president. And I've quoted that 547 times. I said, |
| 2:07.8 | people who know where this country was in 2015 knew he was going to win. They knew it. They knew |
| 2:15.9 | that he was talking to some closeted racism, some closeted misogyny, and they weren't surprised. |
| 2:22.6 | But what I think is still crazy is that he's gone, and this is still who we are. |
| 2:29.4 | Well, do you think, in fact, this has always been who we are. And we've been able to move it |
