As a Wichita, Kansas native, I am overjoyed to get sam brownback out of our state! Perhaps another Kansas political celebrity is Mike Pompeo now secretary of state and former CIA chief, who I used to love and represented us well until he played lapdog with Trump. However, I am very proud of Kansas political history! We have always been a place for debate, civil innovation, moderates with passion and common sense (but which of the two American definitions you choose is up to you). But uh, don't visit. Theres not that much to see.

Kansas has them, but Nebraska has William Jennings Bryan, the founder of American liberalism, as well as the most unique political system in the U.S. (unicamerial, and non-partisan)

Awesome thank you! I need to promote those more.

Chanute, KS native here! Interesting fact: Octave Chanute, civil engineer and avaiation pioneer in which the town was named after, had significant influence on the wright brothers during their journey through avaiation, giving substantial advice to them and publicizing some of their work. Wichita was deemed "The Air Capitol of the World" as well

What up, y’all? Wichitan here. Just wanted to say that Wichita “proper” is the 51st most populated city in America-and including our suburbs, our population is even higher at over 644,000 (as of 2018). We are not a small farm town! Please stop assuming that when we visit you!

Wichita is not small, but metro Wichita is still way smaller than just the Kansas side of metro KC. While more than half of the metro of KC is in Missouri, the Kansas side of KC is around a million people.

Please do Calgary and Edmonton compared for cities, and Canada and the USA for countries!!!

@@iammrbeat I've been fascinated by the French influence & impact on North America for a while now, so I would absolutely love to see this happen.

As a native Texan, I have to remain neutral on the Kansas and Nebraska comparison. I have some relatives who live in both states. I travel throughout the entire U.S., mostly over the road. (No, I am not a truck driver.) It is not unusual for me to crisscross the country. Both the West and East Coasts are heavily populated and congested. It's a pleasure driving through KS (I-70) and NE (I-80), where it's not congested and a whole lot of wide, open spaces. I give both Kansas and Nebraska a thumbs up. Now, that should make my relatives happy with me.

I really appreciate you making a video about my great home state, Nebraska. It's the land that I love and yes, Husker football fans would literally die for their team. Also I'm sorry to hear you lived in Omaha. (Only complaint I have is that the Hallam tornado was not mentioned as it was at one time the largest recorded tornado in the world and wiped out basically the entire town of Hallam)

Another great state comparison from my favorite Midwestern KZreadr! One minor thing though; it would’ve been nice to mention the breeding grounds of the Sandhills Crane.

Ohio and Pennsylvania, or Ohio and Michigan should be your next compared states.

@Brandon C. The crazy thing is, I currently live in Texas & I don't like living there, I actually wanna move to Ohio, I've got family members who live in the real nice suburbs of Cleveland. I can't stand living in the sun belt, it's just way too hot in the summer & I'm just not in to the whole Texas thing even though everybody loves it there. I don't mind snow & I enjoy getting to do winter activities & I wanna go somewhere where it's not 90+ degrees for 4 straight months. So call me crazy, but I wanna get out of the sun belt & wanna move to the rest belt (Although I don't like to call it that).
