the war ended. finally, in 1912, louisiana adopted the flag we see today. >> the louisiana flag i love, because it's a story of unconditional love. what the settlers saw, according to a louisiana legend, when they first arrived there, were these brown pelicans. and if food was scarce, what the mother pelicans would do was peck at their breasts until they bled, and they would feed that to their young. so, on this state flag, you see a mother feeding three baby brown pelicans. >> eventually, louisiana adopted the brown pelican as its official state bird. by the way, louisiana also has an official state doughnut, called a beignet. it's fried dough with powdered sugar on top. fortunately, the official state drink is milk. with "flag facts," i'm brandon. >> it's time for "word." test your vocabulary by finding the real definition amid the fakes. let's start with "excess." does it mean...

this is evident in the home state of louisiana and all along the gulf coast; america's energy coast. according to a 2013 study, 200,000 jobs will be created by new unconventional production in louisiana alone by 2019. this isn't considering the other jobs in other states around the country. it is quite promising. and the oil and gas industry supports 300 in louisiana and secures below average unemployment for the last five years. for states such as north dakota that have had increased ongoing production, colorado, etc. a recent lsu report esmated from 2012-2018 $47 billion dollars of private sector projects will be made in alan paris, jefferson davis and parishs that people on the committee and in america that haven't heard of. but these are real places of people. that investment is expected to create more than 37,000 new jobs. high paying jobs. in america, lng exports will drive continued investment in domestic production and create jobs, but they are a powerful gop political tool particularly in light of russia's illegal aggressi aggression. putin is going to use allies to pressure

very respectful, appropriate in the comments, i want to be the same. louisiana is the second larger producer of gas in the country, off gore an on, but we're also the third largest consumer of gas. it's not in this senator's interest to promote a policy where the prices would skyrocket and put consumers at a disadvantage. we have industrial consumers, residential consumers, but the facts are, and i think the case has been made overwhelmingly by a variety of different reports that opening up markets increases domestic supply, not close it down, increase it, of gas and natural gas, and it also will help to create jobs at home and abroad, and the price, as you all said, louisiana -- the u.s., north dakota production, texas, oklahoma, colorado, will always have an advantage because we're the source of the product. now, yes, does thought have to go into it? is it the silver bullet? no, but it's part of, i think, the equation of how to create jobs at home, promote america's strengths abroad. the three questions i have, and we're not going it take the time, but i'll as
