The situation room. Always watch us live or dvr the show so you wont miss a moment. Thats it for me. Thanks very much for watching. Im wolf blitzer in the situation room. Now lets step into the crossfire with paul begala and s. E. Cupp. Christmas eve for me. Tingling with anticipation. Im going to be up all night because if were good little boys and girls tomorrow morning we can finally open the most wonderful gift of all, my friend Hillary Clintons new book. Wow. I hate to be the grinch here, but ive seen an advanced copy and your Christmas Morning is going to be a real downer. The debate starts right now. Tonight on crossfire Hillary Clinton facing attacks on the eve of her book release. Clintons account of the low salt, low fat, lowcalorie offering with Vanilla Pudding as dessert. Is America Ready For Hillary . On the left, paul begala. On the right, s. E. Cupp. In the crossfire, tracy sefel,

Happened. It seems dubious that the Russian Military, in other words, would want to take down a major passenger plane. Certainly with not the intent of taking it down. Again, we simply dont know who brought this down. Im also here with lieu dtenant colonel rick francona. Just in terms of kants, we have not seen separatists heretofor, they have brought down at least one transport plane, but they were not flying at 33,000 feet. Yeah, this would require, as we were talking about, a more sophisticated system. Talking about, you know, hitting it inadvertently, it would be very difficult for that to happen. Generally once youre locked onto the target, it goes to that target. And if it veers off that target and is no longer being guided, they selfdestruct. But when youre targeting a plane at that altitude, are you
clear on exactly what kind of a plane it is . No, its a return on your radar. Right. It will be a certain size, you can estimate the size of the aircraft. You may have other sensors
Youre reporting a lot of inconsistencies, but overall did this rape even occur . She could be grossly wrong about the facts or making it up or something in between.

Armies of lobbyists and lawyers . Or does it work for all the people. Now the House Of Representatives is about to show us the worst of government for the rich and powerful. The house is about to vote on a budget deal, a deal negotiated behind closed doors, that would let traders on wall street gamble with Taxpayer Money and get bailed out by the government when their risky bets threaten to blow up our financial system. This is a democracy, and the American People didnt elect us to stand up for citigroup. They elected us to stand up for all the people. Thats the Bugle Signaling charge. Today the white house scrambled to contain the fod. Just minutes before the scheduled vote, the white house took the dangerous move of taking direct aim at the warren wing of the party by declaring
and campaign contributions, opening up the ÷÷naufloodgates. First you give the keys to the bank and then you bail the banks out. We are not having that. I think the vote today shows that, shows the unity of
That is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election. Lets be clear about what he is saying and what that means. Hes denigrating, hes talking down our democracy and i for one am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position. Donald trumps comments tonight have already been condemned by jeff flake of arizona, Lindsey Graham of south carolyn a. Will they reverberate by voters . Well see. Im joined by chris of host all in with msnbc, and former chairman of the national committee, michael steal, and msnbc everybodys a Political Analyst any way, i shouldnt base that, everything is. Hes the host of the how hewitt show, and also msnbc Political Analyst. Who i can start with . Chris well just go across here. This you know, there is the
