karen grew up in kansas city. i'm from colorado when i was a kid that seemed very far away from here. but now it seems next door we had moved into our new house and i had gone. the house was full of half empty packing boxes and and jelly smeared kids. and i had gone out one sunday morning in august to, pick up the newspaper this was back when newspapers used to on driveways and i know people here remember that as well as do i was down the driveway and i looked up and saw across the street. my new neighbor. he was in a pair of swim trunks, nothing else, bare chested, big barrel chested. his hair was flopping over his eyes. he had a garden in one hand, a sponge in the other, and he was his girlfriend's car car. he was 102 years old. and i thought this somebody i want to know. so when you approached and you you started talking with him, obviously you all became friends. but when did that relationship go from you saying, wow, this is a really interesting guy, too. at some point you said, i should start writing this st

kansas does have a brand. rectangle next to the other rectangle. [ laughter ] more importantly, what did kansas do to deserve that? [ laughter ] minding their own business, they get an unprompted attack from the mayor of new york. obviously, the insult didn't sit well with people from kansas who issued this very kansas-y rebuttal on their local news. >> okay, mayor adams, those are fighting words. check this out. close to 3 million people live in the sunflower state. dodge city is really the windy city. in fact, it's the windiest city in america. it ain't chicago. there are more than 500 caves in kansas. and we're saving the bees. our state bug is the honeybee. so take that, mayor adams. >> jimmy: wow, whoa, whoa. no need to get nasty, guys, come on, now. [ laughter ] somebody needs to help kansas with their snaps. they're bragging about how many caves they have. [ laughter ] and the truth is, new york and kansas have a lot more in common than you think. for one thing, both places don't like eric adams, right?

and so i spent a lot of time in kansas. i worked in topeka, kansas. that was my first tv job. >> a couple of facts about sunflowers, by the way. they're called sunflowers. and barkers. yes. they kind of sort of resemble the sun. but when they're young, they actually will turn to face the sun to grab as much sunlight as possible. so that's why you see some of them are facing different directions. but by the way, for a 50th wedding anniversary, the traditional gift is not a sunflower or a sunflower field. it's supposed to be gold. >> well, they are gold. >> yeah. yeah that is true. >> also, i think he hit it out of the park. >> that's beautiful. traditions are meant to be broken. i feel i like this better, and i like there. >> yeah. it's so gorgeous. it's sunflowers for as far as you can see. >> more of a fan ♪♪ from the alex trebek stage at sony pictures studios, this is "jeopardy!"

kansas city chiefs. the kansas city chiefs. the kansas city chiefs. oh!eady took one mic from me baby, ain't going to take another. i got something to say. in all seriousness, it is crazy what athletics and sports can do. it obviously brought all of us together. it is very unique in that aspect and so diverse, especially the game of football. look up here, you see a bunch of human beings and in our locker room it is more diverse. sports teaches you about life. it teaches you about yourself. it teaches you about the people around you. you can take that. you can take it into other aspects of your life that you can really appreciate. not only that it teaches you about the cities that you play in and the people that you infect and the people that you really control. and i can't tell you how much that i love to play for kansas city, how much i love to play for the kansas city chiefs and how much i love playing for these guys behind me. i am sure every guy on the team says the exact same thing. that is what team work is all about and what the auditorium is abou

one kansas ranchers, southwest kansas, recently told me he spotted a lesser prairie-chicken on one of his pastures were his cattle were grazing. he did the right thing and he reported that and then he had to move all the cattle from not only that pasture but theed a joining pastured a casent to it as well just -- adjascen -- adjacet to it. they have conserved to both private and conservation departments at the u.s. department of agriculture. the population of the lesser prairie-chicken rises and falls with rainfall but not the normal activity of farmers and ranchers. last year we were in a historic drought throughout the great plains. it's obviously then affecting the lesser prairie-chicken population and also wheat harvest which was devastating all of us this year. big government doesn't need to step in and force ranchers and farmers to up-end because of this bird. make no mistake, the lesser prairie-chicken is being used as a proxy in administration's war on fossil fuel and production agriculture. with this vote today, we can either stand for big government overregulation that puts

in other states, it was more like kansas.roups that are trying to put this question. regardless of who brought the question, and who the, what the voter population was, everybody came to the same conclusion. they don't want their rights taken away, or as you, said they don't want politicians getting involved in the stuff. it is the kind of thing can people try to enshrine abortion rights in the face of the fall of road to use these ballot measures, notwithstanding what they're trying to do in ohio, to get those rights? >> look, i think that's, of course this is going to depend state to state. i think what you're going to see is the general public, and regular people, they're just not okay with all of these extreme policies. that's true in kansas, i think that's true and a lot of different places, as you, said we saw that on the ballot. and so many states. i think, look, for each state that needs to rally support against pushing for these extreme policies that were seen and the state legislatures, or if a bunch of people need

. - [brownie] water is very important to kansas. so, here in the high plains, it's typically a semi-arid environment. and so, the challenge here is water. and the ability to irrigate and apply water to a crop greatly increases the yields. in some cases you might get three times a yield as opposed to a dry-lander. that's what we call people that don't irrigate. primary source of supply for that western side of kansas is from a groundwater source. and we call those aquifers. this is water that's been stored in the ground, in some cases, for millions of years. the big one that everybody likes to talk about is the ogallala aquifer, which is one of the largest, most accessible, fresh water systems in the world. the more you measure these wells, the better you get at this kind of thing. it just kinda takes a little touch and you have to have love in your heart. you can't do it fast. (chuckles) okay, so now i'm starting to get blue chalk so you can see it's still blue, and then right there and see how it's a little darker. and so, then i'm

joining me now is kansas city mayor quinton lucas, a democrat. mayor lucas, thanks for joining us tonight. we just ended a week of gun violence that didn't pause even for the 4th of july holiday. at least 15 people killed and several major cities this past weekend. to my knowledge, your city was mostly untouched by mass shootings over the holiday, but just yesterday murder charges were filed in a main mass shooting at a nightclub that left three real dead in your city. about a week before that, three people were killed and six people injured in a mass shooting outside of a neighborhood party. missouri is a permit-less carry state. and you said the abundance of guns in this state, along with this lenient gun law, have contributed to the violence in your city, which cannot pass local gun regulations over state laws. as a co-chair of the national coalition, mayors against illegal guns, what have your conversations with other mayors in the group unlike this week? >> it has been frustrating. and in some ways astonishing what we keep dealing with in ma

from colorado to kansas. it used to be like america was the land of opportunity. but now it just feels like it's the struggle we stopped in hays with its wild west roots. more than two dozen christian churches and a lot of red, white and blue. it's hard to get the job, the career that you want because once you fall down a whale, it's really hard to climb out. tristan frump in between manufacturing jobs, a rough childhood, he says, got in the way of his american dream of owning a car repair shop. and my life, it's always been like that. it's like, you're certain class of person and when when people put you down or put you in that label, it's really hard to imagine how your life could really be because everyone's telling you you can't. it's like it's just like kills your confidence, kills the dream. when we comeme back, our road tp across america continues because i feel like, as most americans view us, is just we're poor or dirty or they don't even know that we're still alive. we make a stop on the prairie band potawatomi indian reservation. you're watching. matter

. >> rachel you dealt with this in kansas, kansas is a conservative state.e very conservative. >> yes. >> and yet you led the right to fight to enshrine abortion in kansas and you're doing now the same in kentucky and other states. it's a powerful, political issue even when people have a morale opposition. >> yes. the 2022 campaigns taught us we are more unified on this issue than divided. a lot of conservatives were saying this is about returning the issue to the states. we need to let the states decide. the states are starting to speak. when you give voters the opportunity to vote directly on this issue, they will vote to protect reproductive freedom every time. especially in states like kansas and kentucky, that doesn't mean just democratic voters that means republican voters, independent voters. i think it's really powerful just to see that whether -- it's a partisan issue in the halls of congress, in our state legislatures but in people's everyday lives it's not a partisan issue, it's a personal fundamental freedom issue, and that's how we dealt with th

singular: dennis rader was born in 1945 in kansas, and his family then later moved to park city, kansas to him in that he thought of himself as a very responsible son. we don't have any evidence at all that he was horrifically abused. he had married parents. as far as we can tell, nothing bad ever happened to young dennis rader. at the same time, he had early on this penchant for doing a couple of things that were somewhat unusual. someone in the family had these true detective type magazines from the 1950s, where you would see women on the cover. maybe they were tied up, or maybe they were looking at an attacker who was off-screen in horror, and he was exposed to them, and he found them stimulating. he started making drawings of sort of mummy-like figures where there would be women with lines across them, as if g ed up. o'connor: he talked about, from a young age, some family members being out on a farm where they had killed a chicken, and that chicken had to be tied to a stump before they cut its head off, and he described being aroused by that. jordan: he was aware from a very young

remember, that kansas election, that was also in august. well, in this deep red state in august -- this seems to be an issue that still a year later has a lot of political potency. >> i wanted to -- before you guys come in, i want to go back to a headline from our colleague isaac duvere in april talking about democrats pushing abortion rights to the ballot in 2024 which is sort of stealing a republican playbook. it'sot just ohio we're going to look ahead to new york and to maryland, you might say, okay, those are blue states. they're their are also congressional races -- there are also congressional races particularly in new york. >> in ohio in particular you have shared on brown who will be on wthe ballot in 2024 and you have a base that's atrophied over the course of the years. we used to talk about ohio as a swing state. ohio is no longer a swing state in the same -- >> you say that as a daughter of ohio. >> yes, indeed. and the state government is completely republican dominated which is why they were able to get this -- this election i

to showcase the capabilities of kansas military posts and the support of our army soldiers. the united states is in the midst of one of the most challenging national security situations of my lifetime. and the army is critical to the support of the security of our nation. the army is critical to the future of our country. this administration's army's budget request for f y 2024 does not adequately address these concerns. assuming the best inflation estimates, the army's f y 2024 request represents a real growth rate of a negative, a negative 2.4%. as cochair of the senate army caucus and a member of the subcommittee, it is my priority that the army have the resources necessary to fill the national security obligations. we continue to hear of the ongoing recruiting crisis within the army. the force will look different from just two years ago, roughly 35,000 below its f y 2022 authorized in strength of 485,000 soldiers. congress should be informed of all the alternatives as the army considers options to manage the significant reduction. let's work with you. let's work together

a late summer vote is an apparent victory in the past year six states including states as red as kansashave voted on ballot measures and amendments in support of the right to abortion. and today in ohio abortion right advocates got one step closer to joining those states. they filed more than 700,000 signatures and put a constitutional amendment on ohio's november ballot, almost double what they needed. in ohio where 59% of the electorate supports enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution, that amendment seems likely to pass in november. unless the republican 60% super majority measure passes next month. joining us now the co-founder of ohio physicians for reproductive rights, one of the groups aiding the ballot initiative signature collection. and david pepper, a former chair of the ohio democratic party and author of "saving democracy, a user's manual for every american." thank you both for being here. doctor, i want to begin with you. state officials still have to review the signatures bullet looks like this measure to amend the state constitution very likely to appear on
