Best time to come to Texas, is either in spring (late March- late april) when the wildflowers are in bloom, or in the fall, when festivals are happening and you can go to a college football game (I went to Texas A&M University)
Lol I had to double-take this. I thought you said "when the wildfires are in bloom".
@@accuset this ain't California 😅🤣
@@patrickaggie2012 my thoughts exactly!
AYE AYE AYE, WHOOP!
Absolutely!! Gig 'em Aggies! ('19 here)
Texan here. ❤️ There is a lot of political divisions in the USA right now which makes things kind of tense. So politically some Texans might say they want separation because of politics but when it comes to state pride and state rivalry it’s mostly light hearted fun. (I think of it kind of like Hogwarts Houses. We like to cheer on our sports teams and take pride in our history but in the end we are Proud to be Americans!)
Very well put and yes I say this a lot as well. I’m very proud to be a Texan but I also love being an American and being apart of the USA despite all of the division, mainly stemmed from politics.
Hello, I was born and raised in Texas and still reside here, down on the southern border. I agree that as a Texan I don't wish for independence from the U.S., but I will say that I have more state pride than I do national pride.
Texan here! As interesting of an idea as it is, I don't think many people here would want Texas to be independent, honestly just because it's not really all that beneficial? Especially in comparison to being part of the US. Obviously I don't know everyone's opinion on it, but it just feels impractical to me, especially because of the winter storm we had last year that proved that independence is all fine and good until you realize you have no one else to rely on in times of need.
Love your videos btw! It's always super nice to see people wanting to learn about other countries!
I see ! And thanks
We'll find out how popular an idea it is if we are ever allowed to vote on it. Texas has seceded from everyone: Spain, 1810; Mexico, 1836; and the US in 1861. We are now in the US because we were forced back into it.
Born and raised in Texas. Currently live in Dallas. Independence never crosses my mind. It's usually a "what if " topic in conversation . Its very rare to find anyone who wants Texas to be independent. I'd say there are more people who support Texas splitting into 5 diff states ( Wich I wouldn't mind ) more than seeking or speaking of independence, and that too is even rare to hear some one talk about.
Howdy, I appreciate you watching another video as 39 years born and raised Texan I feel like the true beauty is the wilderness and state parks not national parks
The trouble with Texas' independent electric grid is that it's not sufficiently weatherproofed as evidenced last winter when cold weather shut it down, causing catastrophic damage.
Our electric grid failed just once in nearly 40 years, from an ice storm literally none of us imagine could happen. Meanwhile California has rolling blackout literally every year
The increasing dependency on "green" energy was a big contributor to the shutdown. The wind turbines froze up and stopped producing the 25 % of the electricity they usually do Stupid decisions from the feds also contributed by not granting an emergency waiver to environmental goals.
Not from Texas, but I have family that is, and I am from the South. Basically no one wants to split the US, mainly because you lose benefits/luxuries, and then you have to do more, first to fight for independence, then to maintain it. So if the US starts falling apart, expect the South to try and separate again, but until it's absolutely hopeless, we'd rather fix things than start a war.

I don't think it would be north vs south but liberal vs. conservative.
Texas has been a "donor" state to the US Treasury for a long time now.
I graduated high school in TX! No, I don't think anyone seriously wanted to secede- it's just a fun "what if".
Eh…this isn’t entirely accurate, bud.
Yes, I want us to secede.
Everybody leaving California so I think Texas is gonna be number one pretty soon
I live in San Antonio, Texas and I personally don't want my state to leave the US.
210 SA-Town yeah same here as long as the U.S. doesn't somehow take away independence. (I'm a transplant born and raised in Buffalo, NY , so I know what it's like to live in a mini 3rd world country.)
You should do a video about Texas cuisine!! We have brisket, hot links, and other barbecue; tacos, enchiladas (lots of Tex-Mex); chili con carne; hamburgers; pecan pie; chicken fried steak; and more!!
Hello from central Texas! I just found your channel, it's fun and informative and you seem like a kind person 😊
I like your videos from Hokkaido, it's one place I really hope to visit.
Where do I send you a shirt from Texas?
Hey definitely come and visit Hokkaido ;)
Not our power grid that almost blew up this year. 😭
I was raised in South Texas. I want to visit Japan one day. You actually have a great Spanish accent there with “Muy grande/interesante”.
Great reaction video of Texas. You should react to The Don'ts of visiting Texas next.
I'm a southerner ( from south Arkansas). Texas is great, but check out small quaint towns like Eureka springs, Arkansas or the buffalo river in Arkansas IF you're on a budget and want to camp...the natural state is absolutely beautiful UP NORTH IN THE OZARK MOUNTAIN AREA.
I forgot to add we don't have as many mosquitoes and bugs as Texas....AND ITS HOT IN TEXAS....LIKE AFRICA HOT...South Arkansas is hot and buggy too...but not so in Ozark area....at least not as bad as Texas.
Yes we Texans want to be our own country ..
Amarillo Texas shout out. Agree with Robynn totally. We native Texans are totally Americans first. But we do not like or want Washington trying to force any moronic crap on us. As long as that doesn't happen no one has to fear Texas 🤣. Love your reactions.
Just stretch out the last letter to speak Texannn. And bless youuuuu. (For sneezing lol). Btw, what size shirt are you?
M in American size 😨
If you want to hear a Texas "accent", try to find an old repeat of the tv show "Dallas". That is what we are supposed to sound like to Hollywood. Of course, that is like saying all Californians sound like surfer-dudes. As for the power outage during the freeze, just an example of poor government planning. They shut down the gas lines to protect them and overlooked the fact that much of our electricity is gas generated. Hope they learned for the next ice storm, if another one ever comes.
Considering the last ice storm we has that was that cold was over 35 years ago, hard to imagine when we will face a situation like this again
Just a thought here, how many of the companies such as Exxon, American Airlines and such would still have the headquarters in Texas if they were to secede? I'm guessing more than a few would relocate to other areas in the new "proper" United States just because it would ultimately serve their interests better. Also, as I've seen others mention here, Texas does have a unique power grid and energy system compared to the rest of the country but looking back at this past winter, I think I'd probably rate it about a .1 out of 5. I rather like the thought of knowing my pipes aren't going to freeze and break just cause it gets a little chilly. Okay, it was more than a little chilly but not as cold as it was here in Minnesota!
I think an important thing to keep in mind when you consider if companies would stay in Texas post-independence is the corporate friendly nature that drew those companies to Texas in the first place. I think yes, some of the larger companies that depend on business of people all over the country would leave but several wouldn’t see much of an ill effect from it. Take Exxon for example, they may leave because they rely on the large size of the US to ensure profit but a company like Dell wouldn’t really be affected at all and their items would still be bought from the new US proper, just labeled as imported goods in the same vein as Sony or Toshiba. American Airlines might even benefit from secession because it would instantly increase their “foreign” flights several-fold which increases revenue without any cost to expand their infrastructure.
8:21 Bless You!
im a texan and texas is really good do a bbq or do carne asada aka in english it is putting meat in a stove in a hot day and it is so good
Cool!
I think all these Texans in the cities who just got there are seriously underscoring how much interest there is in independence.
As a joke ive said that i wanted texas independent, but very very few people actually want independence also about the population, thats a bit outdated because instead of 28 million we have 29,700,000 million people due to many people from states such as california moving here. According to google United Kingdom is approximately 243,610 sq km, while Texas is approximately 678,052 sq km, making Texas 178% larger than United Kingdom.For GDP, texas has 1.887 trillion while canada has around 1.64 trillion also if you want to see every us state compared to other countries (in gdp) you should look up "every us state in economy compared to countries" and go to images its very interesting
I see
Do a video about North Carolina, NC is amazing
Alaska could send a blizzard curse to Texas and take it out easily.
Texas could send a heatwave curse to Alaska and destroy the entire state.
Texan here … we don’t care about succession remember the Alamo!!! Haha
Yeah no (Texan here) I've never never really hoped that Texas would try and get its independence. I'm kinda just proud of how big we are and how far we've developed. Sure sometimes Americans do stupid things but really who doesn't. I'm actually fine with Texas being part of the US. Can't really think of it being any other way.
when one of your favorite channels react to one of your other favorite channels
😆
TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...i for one would love to be independent,
Born and raised in Texas and I wouldn't say that I would want Texas to secede but I don't think I would be opposed of it either
Greetings from Albania 🇦🇱❤️
i am from texas, only about 15% supported leaving the usa in 2015. it is 30% today
Montana is approximately the same area as Japan, just a little larger, however they only have about 1.06 million people.
interesting !
Epic sneeze :0
Texas and Oklahoma are bitter football rivals but I couldn't want a better next-door neighbor.
pls come to Peja Again
From San Antonio here. Really, the only people that want the state to secede are a very vocal minority. Anyone knows it's better to just shut up about it around them.
Sports can get pretty big around here. We have 8 teams in the big 4 leagues, (2 each in the NFL and MLB, 3 in the NBA and 1 NHL team) of which combined for 15 titles in their respective leagues. (Dallas Stars 1 Stanley Cup, 1 World Series by the Houston Astros, 5 Super Bowls by the Dallas Cowboys, and combined 8 NBA titles between the three basketball teams (Spurs 5, Rockets 2, Mavericks 1). Austin. Texas also has the Circuit of the Americas, the world's toughest road course designed for Formula 1 racing and hosts the USGP.
Might wanna start rethinking your options soon if being there Union is still worth it. Sooner than later economic hardship is coming and a ton of people would rather wish it was Texans who would run Texas than DC.
You should come to Oklahoma too when you come to the US
would love to !!!
I do want to stay in the USA but I kinda want our old borders
if texas did try to secede and the US actually let them do it then i could see mexico wanting to annex them back into their fold.
No way we would allow Mexico to do that.
Texas might consider annexing Mexico.
Hopefully one day Texas will be it's own country again. God bless Texas.
Honestly i dont wanna leave usa but i am mexican blooded because of my parents
I've lived in Texas my whole life, excluding 2 years spent in Germany. I live in El Paso, which is admittedly very different from the rest of Texas (and not as interesting imo), but I love taking trips to the bigger the cities! Just this last summer, I went all the way to the beach and some of the islands just along Texas, and just getting there was about a 12-14 hr drive haha! The only thing I wasn't a fan of while traveling was the humidity. It's so incredibly dry where I live, as soon as we started getting to more humid cities it felt like I was dying 😭
I've lived in Texas my whole life as well, and I absolutely love El Paso. Admittedly I only spent three days there visiting friends but I loved what I got to see
I’m a TEXAN but American first !!!
US NAVY VET!🇺🇸😉⚓️
South Texan here, I'd vote to stay with the USA.
As a Texan no I wouldn’t, i love the USA, but sometimes politically yeah gladly
Howdy, Texan here! As much as I love Texan, secession just isn't a long term good idea and people are very used to being in the US. So as much as we joke about it, we wouldn't actually leave.
I live here in Houston Texas and I will never leave the USA if Texas became it's own country I would move out of Texas plus we would loose our military because it's owned by the us
At times like this, yes I would like secede.
Boy where did you learn Spanish I absolutely live for your commentary English or Spanish whatever it may be but I live in texas and more specifically in El Paso texas which is West Texas and we are extremely "mexicanized" (per se) and the way you use your Spanish is very much how we would use it down here very picant very spicy 💋 mildly scandalous if Brad Mondo knew Spanish he woukd give double chef kisses
Just now watching the separation aka session segment but in my opinion I feel Texas, apart from the army regime It would make a perfectly fine supple bountious country of its own Though as you have aforementioned texans are extreme patriots to the grave There are only a few other American virtues grander Then Texas and CHILL is not one of them
I was born and raised in Texas. I've never lived anywhere else. As a native Texan, I love the United States of America! We have no want or need to secede.
right
bs with the current government we would like to leave that is true
Honestly I think Texas could leave if it wanted to it broke away from Mexico without any official help from the united states although they may have another Alamo but with the US army this time
Also they could just capture enough of the key US government officials and make them sign all the papers that insure their independence
Everything’s just bigger in Texas
Legal? Leaving the union isn't about legality.
independent
Always a Texan, even though I disagree with my home state on many things, I'll always have some Texan in me.
I believe that the right to split into as many as five states was quashed after the Civil War. It also killed the idea of Texas peacefully seceding from the union. There would be so much mutiny in any armed conflict that it wouldn't last two months.
Narrator: “While Texas is smaller than Australia is in terms of land, it’s far bigger than any country in Europe is...”
James: “Wait even bigger than the UK?!”
Me: “It’s nearly 3x the size*”
* 2.8x the size to be exact
haha
If DC liberals succeed in making PR and DC states they’d add four liberal senators. Then TX could become five states getting ten senators most of whom would be conservative.
Haha silly federal government thinks it can stop a state from seceding.
People from Texas would never want to be there own country they’re way to patriotic towards America
Are you paying attention to the US right now ?
@@ThomasBarbarossa
Yup, was thinking the same thing.
DO YOU SEE THIS SHIT!!!
