. ♪ >> reporter: the flag for washington state has a unique color.t also has unique origins, linking it to a box of cough syrup. author randy howe has this week's "dose of flag history." >> washington state is unique for two reasons. it's the only green flag of the 50 states, and it is also the only flag to include the image of a person on it, and obviously that person is george washington. and it's from the portrait that was painted by gilbert stuart. he was an artist from rhode island, and it's the most famous portrait of george washington. but there were brothers who were put in charge of creating the image for the flag, and they went about designing it, coming up with all the different lettering. they had it perfect, except the image they had of george washington came from a box of cough syrup. and it just wouldn't do. and in the 11th hour, they found gilbert stuart's portrait of george washington, put it on the flag, and it was accepted by the legislators in washington, and we still have the flag today. >> reporter: with flag facts, i'm kristen.

and in fact, when you think about it, you must scratch your head when in fact the washington state employees now have more people there working than they had when we opened the plant in north charleston. in fact, if you are talking about creating american jobs and american states, u.s. states, called south carolina, you would simply look at the fact that 1,100 employees have been hired in north charleston. you think about the fact that the compounding impact of those jobs in north charleston could create up to 12,000 new american jobs in our states. so the policy of the left is nothing more than rhetoric. mr. speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from south carolina, mr. jeff duncan. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from south carolina, mr. duncan, is recognized for three minutes. mr. duncan: thank you, mr. speaker. ladies and gentlemen, i rise today in support of h.r. 2587, the protecting jobs from government interference act that would end the funding for nlrb's lawsuit against boeing. i'm an original co-sponsor of this legislation because i believe that what the nlrb has d

megyn: what is the problem, leslie, frontal boundary they are not losing the jobs in washington states. boeing is going to add 3,800 jobs in south carolina. how koits be retaliatory? >> because boeing executives stated so, and the labor board -- megyn: you can be motivated to hurt somebody, but if you don't hurt them, there is no damage. >> consider this, may dan. we want job growth. but i don't specifically want it in south carolina. i find it precarious that we have an election around the corner. south carolina is a huge state if you factor in politically. the unions basically and i think the republicans, lars, i think you guys are upset that you weren't able to defund the labor board and therefore you guys are retaliating against unions in this manner. which is political. >> retaliating against government is perfectly valid. the government usually out there mucking things up. the fact is they didn't lose the plants. they didn't move a plants. they built a new plant. leslie is wrong about this. when you have a law that says you can't retaliates. that's one thing to say if a strike ha
