The 54th episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 2000, it's one of the closest elections ever as the Supreme Court has to step in to end the madness. Oh, and we didn't find out the winner for over a month after Election Day. #mrbeat #presidentialelectionsinamericanhistory #elections

The 54th Presidential election in American history took place on November 7, 19- I mean, 2000. (The Year 2000) It was the first election I could finally vote in! And boy, was it a messed up one. We wouldn’t even know who won until over a month later.
As Bill Clinton left office, the economy was strong, and he had a fairly high approval rating. Sure, there was the whole impeachment thing due to the whole Monica Lewinsky thing. Oh yeah, and there was Vince Foster’s suicide, Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, and so forth and so on, but many argue the United States was preparing to enter the 21st century stronger than ever before. Because of this, the Democratic Party went with Clinton’s Vice President, Al Gore, to be their nominee for President. His only real opponent trying to get the nomination was Bill Bradley, the former Senator from New Jersey and former professional basketball player. But Bradley withdrew in March, so it was Gore, with Joe Lieberman, a Senator from Connecticut, as his running mate. Lieberman was the first Jewish candidate on a major political party presidential ticket.
The Republican Party originally had many candidates trying for the nomination, but most of them didn’t stand much of a chance against George W. Bush, the popular governor of Texas and son of George H.W. Bush. Bush’s main opponent in the primaries was John McCain, a Senator from Arizona and war hero who was tortured as a POW in the Vietnam War. However, after a poor showing on Super Tuesday, the day when there are a bunch of primary elections at once across the country, McCain dropped out. One guy who stuck around until right before the convention was Alan Keyes, a former diplomat to the Reagan administration. He just kept fighting. And one thing that is absolutely true, that I actually quite admire, is that Alan Keyes remains the only presidential candidate in history to ever jump into a mosh pit on the campaign trail. Michael Moore jokingly gave him his endorsement after he featured the historic moment on his show “The Awful Truth.”
Anyway, yeah George W. Bush won. You know that, don’t you? He had all the right friends in the right places, the right last name, and oh yeah, a lot of people loved him. Bush asked Dick Cheney, a former Secretary of Defense, to lead a team to help him find a running mate, but in the end, Bush just went with Cheney to be his running mate. However, because Cheney also lived in Texas, he had to change his voting registration back to his old home of Wyoming, because otherwise the electoral votes they would presumably get from Texas would not count.
While there were a lot of third party candidates, I will only mention the Green Party for this election. The Green Party had been around in some form or another since the 1980s, and had a platform that focused on environmental causes. They nominated Ralph Nader, the famous activist and lawyer who had sparked reform by getting numerous consumer protection laws passed. The Green Party also nominated Winona LaDuke, an activist, economist, and writer from California, as Nader’s running mate. Both Nader and LaDuke had run together back in 1996, but had gotten less than 1 percent of the vote, which is why I didn’t even mention them in that episode.
The two frontrunners, Bush and Gore, mostly focused on domestic issues. Bill Clinton’s impeachment and the associated scandal with Monica Lewinsky did cast a shadow on the campaign, but Gore tried to convince Americans he was not Clinton. He rarely appeared with Clinton on the campaign trail, and some say this hurt his campaign. Bush called for a more humble foreign policy (clip) and more unity and less partisanship in Washington. Nader, meanwhile, had super rallies in places like Madison Square Garden.
I accidentally said "George H.W. Bush" at 2:15. I apologize...I made this video during a time when I wasn't sleeping much.

How ironic
@Inigo Bantok I just want to say that one of his security advisors came to him a few months before the attacks and told him "there is an imminent threat to our national security" to which bush responded "ok great, you have covered your ass now, are you happy"
Even in 2000 he was saying Saddam maybe should be taken out, should be if he is too defiant.
I bet Al Gore's glad he didn't win now, considering how bad politically the 2000s decade was.
He did seem pretty content with going around giving speeches about climate change.
yeah but the 2000's was politically bad specifically because of the Bush administration.
@@tjgarcia8703 well there was 9/11... and the recession... and the growing surveillance state... etc
@@mrrogersrabbit 9/11 was inevitable but the wars weren't, and Al Gore was one of the few politicans at the time that actually were against them from the begining.
Also, the recession might have also been inevitable, but it became the great recession due to Bush's increased deregulation and inflation due to the wars

This would be great
"I dont think we ought to be nation building"
Cheney thinks otherwise
Nader should’ve kept his ass at home
Cheney probably agreed with Bush then. The reality that most people nowadays don't want to admit, is that 9/11 basically scarred everyone. It wasn't just the general populace, the government and Bush's administration (including Bush and Cheney) was very clearly scarred by such an event happening. The fear, that such an event happened in America, and the possibility of it happening again pushed them into adopting a far more aggressive foreign policy to "stop it happening again".

Bush was always full of shit and PNAC which had many members appear in the cabinet wanted war
Well to be fair, he kept his promise, in Iraq at least. The troops sent there didn’t have any intention of nation building, we thought democracy would just spring up among the Iraqis once we liberated them of Saddam. Therefore we didn’t have a plan to engage in nation building which is ultimately where Bush and his administration messed up.
@@bjehulk the Bush administration screwed up when they decided to invade Iraq over a lie.

No actually. They messed up when they didn’t have a plan to properly instill an American-styled liberal democracy in Iraq
wow its crazy to think about how different the world would be if gore won
I do tend to think it would have been more of the '90s Clinton era extended into the 2000s, like Clinton 2.0. Gore had the right ideas and also the flawed ideas. Bush was a meh to okay President, IMHO, I'm still kinda disappointed with Bush' later years with the economy and the days after 9/11. It's mainly him and his admin. is why many voted for Obama(which should have never happened). Plus the mess in the Middle East and why we are here today. The world hasn't been the same since 9/11, never will again anyways. Now some lifelong politician that's 78 and not fit for office is in office now. Shame how the 2000s and future turned out.

You should do every US war or every war US has been in
That's a lot! :)
Mr. Beat's Social Studies Channel But at least you have a project for couple o' years
400 years and only 22 or 243 when there was no war. This would be harder than doing all the elections!
Easier: Doing a quick bio on each POTUS. (Half the work was done via the elections, you see.....)
Do every college football season since 1869
Easy,every war after 1776
This is the first election that I remember. I was 9/10 years old and my stepfather taught me a lot about politics during this time. I gotta say it was a wild one to start with!
I was 5 and mom and Dad had it on TV. I was bored with how long it was taking for the results to come in
I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the Elian Gonzalez fiasco. That incident turned a lot of the South Floridian Cuban community against the Democrats.
Love that you included a clip from “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”. The “In the Year 2000” sketch was awesome.
Still wonder how much differently things would’ve turned out if Gore had won...
I'm English and I think about it a lot too. I think things would have been better.
Gore was a good dude and would have had a 50-50 senate. I think things would be better.
If he had won, he would’ve been only the fourth incumbent Vice President to become president. Him even running for president added to a special tradition. All of the Vice Presidents that served between 1973 and 2001 have sought their party’s nomination: Gerald Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, Walter Mondale, George H. W. Bush, Dan Quayle, and Al Gore.
He easily would have been better. Most of the political BS in the 2000s was caused by Bush and his neoconservative ideology. He also caused the recession thanks to trickle down economics.
@@evanshiong3557 when did Dan Quayle seek the presidency?
I didn’t think we’d get a sequel to not only the 2000 election, but the 1948 election too, in 2020.
How so?

@@napoleonhd4349 why? The big states are the money source for the usa.
So... all the other states don't matter?
@@napoleonhd4349 matter, but they need to make the electoral vote more propotional to the state population.
Most of Hillary's votes came from California or the North east of America, why should these places decide who should become President just because they have a more dense population?
Dick Cheney never wanted to be VP. He only did it for two reasons-
1) Dick would get full executive power to the point he was virtually the leader of the USA over bureaucracy, military, energy, and foreign policy.
2) Bush Jr. would not make his entire platform being anti- LGBTQ as Cheney's own younger daughter is gay and was one of the first major Republican politicians to endorse gay marriage.
This come under a conflict when Bush Jr. wanted a constitutional amendment to ban same- sex marriage.
@Patrick MacBride Thanks for the clarification.
@Patrick MacBride And look he turned out. A war criminal who has no regrets of what he did.
@Patrick MacBride IKR. And this guy blames Obama for creating the situation in the Middle East when he fucking started. This is not a defense of Obama because he's a war criminal but did he create the situation people are facing in Iraq? Fuck no. Also, the fact he's heartless both literally and metaphorically is a growing testament to how devious he is. Also, the fact that people couldn't impeach him says a lot and he escaped scrutiny from the Hague which in a just world, he would be rotting there.

The 2020 election is looking like a mix of this and 1876.
not really, this was a genuiningly close election, the only thing holding back a biden victory in 2020 is some crybaby in the oval office.

Fact: someone actually used the 2000 election as a way to not only introduce an SCP but use Gore and Bush as a way for two SCP related beings to compete for presidency. Needless to say the story was more chaotic than the actual election
I'm always so shocked by the very low turnout in American elections. 50%... Do citizens just don't care?
Voting day is on tuesday. The day also isnt a national holiday so people dont get their days off of work to vote. Most americans live paycheck to paycheck and most of their bosses will refuse to give people time off to vote because they dont have to. Also the franchise is restricted through voting laws like some states dont have same day voter registration. For example in texas in order to vote you have to register to vote at least 1 month before election day. Yes some americans dont care about voting but many dont vote because they cant or states make it harder to vote
Bush's victory really feels like the result of a temporal screw-up in a time travel movie
IT WAS ETHER SCREW UP OR TELL GEORGE W BUSH THAT HIS PRESIDENCY WAS A WANTED CRIMINAL!? YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON TO COMMIT THIS, AND I WILL NOT LIKE YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!
Really loved this series and learned a lot, I do agree with the ideas about a video series on how each state became a state.
A series how America got all the states and commonwealths would be dope AF.
Right on!
Imagine if two faithless electors in Florida or other Republican state voted for Gore or Nader.
The house will vote for President and Republicans have majority.
Fun fact, 3 of the 5 presidents who lost the popular vote but won the electoral college were related to a former president: John Quincy Adams, Benjamin Harrison, and George W. Bush.
But wait, if Bush finished with 271 electoral votes and Gore finished with 266, who got the 1 remaining electoral vote?

The 1884 and 2020 election is just like this
So true.
Well in 2020 Joe Biden has 36 extra electoral votes, Trump would need to overturn three states to win and 27 electoral votes are under a 0.6% margin, not enough to win with recounts.
What's interesting about Florida that nobody talks about is the Cuban vote. With the Gonzales raid that PISSED a lot of Cubans off, it made them vote more for George W Bush. Considering the large amount of Cubans in FL and the small margin Gore lost by that's a very underrated aspect.
There’s something almost sort of eerie about the fact that he said “the 4th out of 4 times in American history the president won the electoral vote but not the popular vote”, three weeks before only the 5th time in history that it happened...

Hey! Love this series. My idea for you is doing a series about what happened to the losers of each election. I say this because "Edmund Muskie" is a throw away gag for me and I wonder whatever happened to the losers. I imagine they become super villains. Or you could do a series of why the Security of State has been important in American history....or just tell me more about Edmund Muskie.
Well shoot, Muskie later became Secretary of State, so he didn't turn out so bad for him!
while i remember 1992 and 1996, this was the first one I was old enough to really care about. I appreciated that both Bush and Gore appeared on SNL's Presidential Bash program to make fun of themselves by emulating their SNL actors' portrayals of them
This is why EVERYONE needs to vote.
2000 is my birth year. That was the year I was born. Back when the presidential election happened on November 7. I would have been ten months old. I was born on January 19. I was born in the month of January. I was born prior to the presidential election on November 7.
That feeling when Bush only won by 500 votes 😂
Bruhhhhhhh
That moment when people out of the loop think Bush won in a landslide but they were normal votes.
Jeb’s magical powers you mean.
In the fourth most populated state no less. 500 votes would be close even in a small state like NH but in Florida it was basically nothing. FL overtook NY around 2013 as the third most populated state. Even hate monger Pat Buchanan said that most of his votes in Palm Beach County were probably meant for Gore. My grandmother was an educated woman. She was a snow bird who voted in Palm Beach County. She turned 80 on 6/1/01. She voted by mail so no hanging chad thank goodness. However I could easily see her being confused if she had to deal with stupid chad.

New to the channel and liking what I'm seeing! Anyway, I'd like to suggest a SCOTUS-centric series. Either a history of the Supreme Court, or prominent Justices past and present, or important cases.

finchborat Nah he just proved the President wasn’t involved, the CIA and FBI proved they did.
Some times when I can't sleep and I have nothing better to do I binge watch this series.
How about a series on the Vice Presidents of the United States? They may be sometimes obscure, sometimes not, but there would be a bunch of interesting backstories.
Another great idea. Thanks for sharing.
1980, 1992, 2000. Most important elections in modern history.
I reluctantly upvoted this video, solely for accuracy.
"I don't think our troops should be used for nation building" BRO WTF!!!!!!
5:54 This part aged terribly _very_ quickly.
I think you should consider doing a series that looks at what happened between the elections. You touch on some things here and there, but in some cases there are significant events that might have more subtle impacts on why people might have voted the way they did.
Yeah, I have tried to do that with my Story Time series, and I plan on picking up that series again next year as well.
Al Gore should've never picked Joe Lieberman as his Vice President in 2000
Why? I used to like Joe Lieberman, but then I turned against him because he was over agreeing with President George W. Bush and he was siding with Republicans. I’m a very strong Democrat. I’m glad Joe Biden won.
@@Matthewsmollen4 Joe hasn't won yet... The AP doesn't decide elections...
@@LawrenceGaming Uhhhh buddy Biden won
@@LawrenceGaming He has won
@@Matthewsmollen4 Well then you just explained why.
Fantastic as always, just sad you didn’t include any of Al Gores scoffs or Bush’s nod from the debates lmao
0:24 is ironic because those same people are getting mad that trump lost
I am going to watch that Nader video, thankyou for the work, and yes, I am a junkie...and I am not seeking treatment for it!
RIP Joe Lieberman, the first Jewish Vice-Presidential nominee in American history.
I was born in 93, this was the first election I remember.
Perhaps a look into the legacy of each president and how they contribute to the history of America and the world.
Revisiting this before the election tommorow
Same.
We're about to get a repeat
