Us rather than just voting in block against everything we try and come up with. finally a positive development for republicans, senator rand paul, a traditional deficit hawk signaled that he is a yes vote. we will see, guys. it looks like possibly a vote mid to late week this week. steve: all right. griff, before you go. i was reading this morning that apparently one suggestion is if there s a short fall of money in the federal coffers, the taxes could actually go up a little bit to make due with the short fall? that s right, steve. they are calling it a trigger. it s the trigger idea. even that becomes a problem under the senate rules. this is being passed under budget reconciliation. so you will hear a lot of that. it s going to take you into the weeds. at the end of the day, they have to appease one to get to the other. i m not sure they have the math to do it right now. brian: of course that s senator corker and flake and daines worried about the deficit go up. that would ameal united
They call her pocahontas. i think what most people find offensive is senator warren s lying about her heritage to advance her career. here s the season to start decking the halls at the white house. the first lady welcomed some help. you seriously look like an angel. she really does look like an angel. good, good good to be alive right about now good, good. steve: live from the mezzanine level of studio f. the biggest darn studio in new york city is fox & friends. a very influential television program. ainsley: did any of you shop yesterday cyber monday? steve: online, yes. ainsley: i took care of a lot of shopping yesterday. brian: i didn t. steve: i tried to order christmas card i thought i had a certain discount. i made a change and it all went away. ainsley: it s so hard it takes forever, you have to hit save and save and save when you do your cards.
Finally, 25%, that s how many nfl fans drink more when their team loses. the study by detox.net also says nearly 19% of fans drink when their team wins. there is just a lot of drinking. ainsley: that s because the party continues. steve: i guess. ainsley: all right. speaking of football. the nfl continues to struggle as protests against the anthem rages on. 23 players choosing to protest the performance during sunday s game. brian: fans tweeting out empty stadiums. what message does this send to the league? steve: here to react comedian and blogger chad screen left along with the daily rants guy and u.s. army veteran graham allen. guys, welcome to the couch. thank you. curvey couch. steve: the curvey couch. you are down at that end of the curve. so, graham, what is going on with the nfl. oh my goodness.
Tell you to do. america wants the nfl to do something about this. ainsley: chad, how about your thoughts. i haven t seen stadiums that empty since the dixie chicks decided to get political. it s ridiculous. who knows? maybe the nfl needs to come away for a little while like the dixie chicks and make a come back people aren t watching. let s say i owned a restaurant across the street here and employee of mine came in started screaming at customers saying get out, get out, get out. i would fire that person. that s in essence what these players are doing. they are saying to people in spite the empty seats we don t care if you are here or not. these nfl owners have got to get control of the situation. as a business, it s going to continue to tank. brian: the problem is, graham, got a union. not like the military. union has to come to the table or embarrass the union which could fracture everything more on racial lines. exactly: again it just goes, in like you said, it s not the military. it is a union.
