@jimmykiff Dave Ramsey is a grifter who apparently thinks that we're still living in 1978. It depends on where you live and what your expenses are, but I would consider an emergency fund at least $10k minimum.
EDIT: also keep in mind that video from Vanguard is an ad. Their goal isn't to provide accurate information about how to have an emergency fund, it's to get you to open an account with them. $2,000 is very low because it's aimed at encouraging new customers to sign up by making their service sound affordable and accessible.
