| 0:00.0 | Kamala Harris has been chosen to be the vice presidential running mate for Joe Biden in this |
| 0:04.8 | 2020 election cycle. And I'm sure most of you have already heard by now because the internet |
| 0:10.8 | can't stop laughing. But this choice may be a gift to Donald Trump of a massive 49 state landslide. |
| 0:19.7 | Now you're probably saying Tim, by what metric could you even possibly predict Trump getting |
| 0:24.7 | a 49 state landslide? And it's actually a good point. There's no real hard data. What I'm actually |
| 0:29.6 | talking about is the weird ways in which history seems to be repeating itself in just maybe a few |
| 0:35.2 | ways. But to be fair, progressives, liberals, conservatives, everybody is ragging on Kamala Harris. |
| 0:41.6 | The memes don't stop. It is fun and funny. Even liberals are now saying they're shocked by this |
| 0:47.6 | choice and they have no choice, but to now choose Donald Trump and they didn't want to do it. |
| 0:52.2 | I think Kamala Harris was an awful, awful choice for the VP. But because of the choice of a female |
| 0:59.2 | running mate, we're seeing a lot of stories pop up. Notably, things like this from Star Tribune, |
| 1:03.6 | recalling the first time a presidential candidate's running mate was a woman. You may have heard about |
| 1:09.0 | this story. It talks about Mondale Ferreiro. That's right. It was a 1984 election. Walter Mondale had |
| 1:16.9 | chosen Geraldine Ferreiro and they lost 49 states. You may have heard about the story when Hillary Clinton |
| 1:24.6 | ragged on them because previously the story read that it was the first time or it's been 36 years |
| 1:31.6 | since a man ran with a woman or something like that. Choose like excuse me because Hillary Clinton |
| 1:35.7 | was the nominee last time. Anyway, the point is Ronald Reagan ran for re-election in 1984 against |
| 1:41.4 | Mondale Ferreiro. 36 years since the Democrats chose a female candidate and he mopped the floor with |
| 1:47.1 | them. 49 state landslide. And what was Ronald Reagan's campaign slogan? Why it was make America great |
| 1:53.3 | again. Donald Trump understood this. It's why he used it. Of course, Bill Clinton had used it |
| 1:58.1 | as well. But there's other weird historical parallels and this time more recent history. 538 |
| 2:05.6 | is giving Donald Trump the same chances to win as they gave him last time. And they're giving Joe |
