about that uncontainable woman who brought joy, marie. >> that's all for this edition of dateline. i'm natalie morales. thanks for watching. m natalie m. thanks for watching. >> good morning to you on this sunday. i'm cori coffin in new york. it's 6:00 on the east. 3:00 out west. now here's what's happening. new and alarming details at this hour. we're learning more about the pensacola shooting suspect and what he was doing in the days before the naval base attack. a furious and frantic weekend on capitol hill. final preparations to present the full impeachment case against the president. a look at what's going on behind the scenes. >> following the money. the staggering amount michael bloomberg is spending versus all of his components combined. >> plus are you better off? the new poll that looks at the

economy and perspectives americans have on money right now new today, action on capitol hill, on this day 76 of the impeachment inquiry. house judiciary members in washington working through the weekend preparing for another critical hearing tomorrow. it's a frantic push to meet an end of the year deadline to draft and vote on articles of impeachment. it gives an outline of what lawmakers could consider, abuse of power, bribery and obstruction and some say a compromise could be a challenge. >> if we're going to get anything done we're going to have to figure out how to make principle compromises. it is one of my points of discouragement that there's a growing number of people that don't believe in compromise. don't believe even in principle compromises. >> meanwhile president trump was in florida last night at the israeli american counsel national summit. vice president mike pence told

fox news he doesn't think articles of impeachment are a guarantee. >> i know that speaker pelosi announced articles of impeachment. i served in the congress for 12 years and i don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the democrats will be able to get the votes to pass articles of impeachment because i hear from people all over the country, the support for this president, the prokbre p progress we made, rebuilding our military, reviving this economy. >> this is going to be a critical impeachment hearing on capitol hill tomorrow as the democrats try to finalize their case. what's the latest? >> there's questions about what the time line will look like and reportedly what the overall number and how many articles of impeachment there will be. you mention the president last night not directly addressing impeachment. he did indicate that he needed good news but here's how his

team is handling it. >> president trump not commenting on a new report by the house judiciary committee that calls impeachment the constitution's final answer to a president that mistakes himself for a monarch. the report criticizes the president for not cooperating with an impeachment inquiry and saying no president is encytitl to persist in office and nobody that voted for him should expect him to. it may lead to articles of impeachment as early as this week but the president claiming he is gaining support in the states he'll need to win in 20. >> they don't want to see impeachment. especially in the swing states. people realize this is a total hoax. >> and a new revelation today. president trump says she awaiting a read out from ru

rudy giuliani about his trip to ukraine. >> he has a lot of good information. >> suggesting that the former mayor at the center of an impeachment scandal may share his findings on capitol hill. >> i think he wants to go before congress and say and also to the attorney general and the department of justice i hear he's found plenty. >> giuliani's document will investigate ukraine's role in the 2016 presidential election. he will reveal his strategy when he is ready adding if this doesn't shake up the swamp i might then agree with those that say it's hopeless chlts n. >> the president was asked if he was thinking about testifying before the senate if the house does end up impeaching him. he said he didn't know but it was clear he was considering it. that was one thing we need to watch for as today and tomorrow unfolds. what is the white house's strategy as this impeachment process moves to the next phase.

>> and many of those committee members likely up at this early morning getting started on it. >> thank you. >> joining me now is nbc's jonathan allen, a reporter for yahoo! news, gorod morning for both of you. >> we know that democratic lawmakers aren't just going to show up for the hearings. they have been putting in really long hours and behind the scenes there's a lot of crammed offices and cold pizza. tell us what they're doing in there or what you think they're doing in there anyway. >> everyone loves cold pizza for breakfast. >> not definitely. >> there's a lot of technical work being done. they're trying to figure out exactly what they're going to put into articles of impeachment and what they'll look like for the nerdy side. what the where as clauses will

be. and the real thing going on behind the scenes is a political fight between the moderates in the caucus that want to make sure that what they're voting on is narrowly tailored and what is most defensible on the campaign trail later and the liberals and caucus that want to make sure that they're throwing the book at president trump. >> the big question there you mentioned the article that you wrote regarding i don't know if it's a dilemma where it's not a guarantee that they can put their support behind whatever might come up because they don't know what's going to be written yet. >> what's happening is most of the democrats feel like they're in a position where they are going to vote for articles of impeachment and they're concerned about defending things that they're not able to communicate to voters and makes sense in terms of impeaching the

president. they don't want to commit to doing it quite yet and they are very worried that some of folks on the liberal end of the caucus are going to put things out there that are just tougher to defend in terms of perhaps going back to some of the mueller investigation and on the fringes of what is more politically acceptable out there and not necessarily that they don't believe that the substance is there but it's simply harder to defend. >> we'll be eagerly watching to see what ultimately goes into the wording here. katie, the lawmakers have been practicing for what could be a marathon hearing. that's kind of been what we have been hearing about this all weekend long. so how long can we expect this to go tomorrow and do we know anything about, you know, just how long this process is going to be. >> we can expect it to be a long day as a previous hearing and one thing that we're going to constantly see going forward is that the democratic caucus in

the house is going to try their hardest to get this wrapped up as soon as possible if they pass articles of impeachment against the president we could expect a senate trial as early as january so they're trying to move this process along and the one thing that i want to point out is that they're going to be trying to make a case that they could defend against the president when it comes to putting up these articles and what they can take back. end will i the moderates that are nervous, what they can take back and explain and make sure that it makes sense because it's narrowly focused enough but we're seeing a lot of political infighting going on within this group trying to decide what is going to stick and what is going to not actually reach to the point of articles of impeachment. >> a lot of this stuff has been public so far with the hearings. do you think we're beginning to learn anything new tomorrow? >> we can only expect to see what we already heard. we are constantly hearing the same thing again and again. what we're going to probably hear is more of a defense given that a lot of the criticism

going out of last week's hearings was there wasn't much new evidence put forth. especially for moderates who are as we have been talking about nervous about what this process is going to mean for them in 2020 but also going along toward january and if we do see senate trial. we're going to see most likely a push to state more evidence to make the case against impeaching the president. >> okay. so besides the lengthy hearing we're going to expect tomorrow, jonathan, do you think this is going to be a big sceptical at previous hearings and this is just for public consumption and public debate? >> i think there's two levels, right? there's some level that's for the history and for the record and the process and the other is to try to move the needle on public opinion which largely hasn't moved since the beginning of the impeachment inquiry process. we have seen basically half the

country believes the president should be impeached and removed from office and a slightly smaller set doesn't believe that. one thing that i think will be interesting tomorrow that may be a little bit new is we may get an explanation of what the intelligence committee believes is the importance of the information that was contained in it's report but not part of its hearings. that is to say all of the phone calls that we saw between rudy giuliani and various phone calls in the white house and the office of management and budget with the ukrainian-american folks and we may get insight into that and the other thing is the actual sort of tension between the intelligence committee and the judiciary committee on what the articles of impeachment might look like. so what we have been talking about is the behind the scenes push on whether these are more contained or more broad.

that may be revealed in the discussion tomorrow. >> jonathan's point eludes to something. he's not sure democrats could get the votes for articles of impeachment in the house. do you think he's taking this unrealistic stance for the president? why is he saying this? >> i think what the vice president recognizes is that there is a division among the democratic caucus right now in terms of what they're going to do for us as impeachment oc offenses that can be evidenced and proofed and backed by the american people who is still divided as to whether the president should be impeached or not and while there are moderates that are fighting against the liberal side to make sure that there is a narrow focus when going into drafting these articles of impeachment. what we're going to see a lot most likely out of this white house is leaning into the fact that there's a division between moderates that are shared going into 2020 and maybe losing

depending on how they side when it comes to a vote. >> they have to sure up that unity and move very quickly. jonathan allen, thank you for both of your times. >> thank you. >> now to new details this morning on the deadly naval air shooting in florida. we are learning what the saudi trainee did before he killed three people. blaine alexander has the latest for us from pensacola. >> well, from law enforcement sources we are getting pretty stunning details about the shooter and his background including a trip to saudi arabia, a hunting license and dinner invitation. >> as we get our first look at the building, chilling new details about the man investigators believed carried it out. law enforcement officials tell nbc news in the past week, the shooter, a saudi national invited three other saudis to his home for dinner where he showed the videos of mass

shootings. officials say he regularly socialized with the three but after a recent trip to saudi arabia he returned more pious and was no longer interested in hanging out with them. officials do motte believe they were involved and said he acted alone. those same officials confirm the handgun used in friday's attack was legally purchased from a gun dealer in pensacola. typically illegal for a non-citizen but he exploited a loophole that allowed him to buy it because he has a hunting license. officials are not confirming this as an act of terrorism but believe a social media post declaring america's love for israel and hatred for islam was written by him. sources tell nbc after the attack, a number of his fellow saudi classmates were questioned but officials say there's no concern they were involved. as the community embraces their

members in uniform we're learning more about those in his path. >> and 23-year-old joshua caleb watson that never made it home. his brother describes watson's final moments after being shot multiple times he made it outside and told the first response team where the shooter was. those details were invaluable. he died a hero. >> and the base is under restricted access after the weekend meaning that they're allowed on base but it's closed to everyone else. >> blaine alexander for us in pensacola this morning and hopefully we will learn more as the days move on. fact finding or fiction? up next, what president trump is saying about rudy giuliani's trip to ukraine and why he can't wait to hear from rudy. >> plus later, a new ominous

what's the ukraine trip all about? >> i'm doing today, all day and all night maybe what i have been doing for a year and a half. i'm representing my client. >> well, the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani making it clear who he is representing while working in cr ukraine and president trump says he hasn't spoken to giuliani and

he knows his mayor has good information. he will soon report it. take a listen. >> he came back from some place and he's going to make a report to the attorney general and the congress. he has a lot of good information. i have not spoken to him about that information. but rudy as you know has been one of the great crime fighters of the last 50 years and he did get back from europe just recently and i know -- he has not told me what he found but he wants to go before the department of justice. i hear he found plenty. >> joining me now is the trial lawyer and former federal prosecutor. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. you heard the president there, rudy giuliani is a private citizen. he's in ukraine on behalf of his client. what standing does he have to represent to congress and the

attorney general? whatever that might be. >> you know, standing is a concept in criminal law that says you don't get to intervene in a case unless you're an interested party in that case. but let's assume, let's set standing aside and assume that congress will hear from rudy giuliani in his capacity. what he is trying to do is tough to explain rationally. he is apparently trying to prove that because the bidens did something wrong in ukraine which there's no evidence of, the president had a really good reason -- a really good motive to bribe president zalenski. to commit an impeachment act. he is in a way playing against the president's interest. it would be like if somebody was on trial for bank robbery and the defense attorney tried to

prove that the bank was involved in fraud and it was getting it's money illegally anyway and the bank robber had a really good reason to rob the bank. it really makes absolutely no sense and from a career prosecutor's perspective, giuliani is not very good at this lawyering thing. >> i was expecting that but bluntly put. following that, have you ever heard of this before katie? where private attorneys present evidence to the attorney general? evidence gathers overseas no less. >> there's no prohibition on even somebody like me or glenn as private attorneys to be able to bring something to the government's intention. but let's be clear, trump saying i don't know where my lawyer has been and i don't know what he has been doing but i heard it's great. clearly he knows where he has been. we all know he's been in the you crane and of course attorney general barr knows exactly

what's going on because i'm sure he's been debriefed by rudy giuliani. during the clinton impeachment trial there were negotiations between the senate republicans and senate democrats in terms of the number of witnesses and how the trial is going to proceed and because i do want to parade a number of witnesses in, they agreed to have video taped depositions in secret and then played them during the course of the trial. what we know that rudy did was when he went to the ukraine he put witnesses underoath and put them on camera and had them testify. what they're testifying to as we heard is unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that ukraine was involved in interference in the united states as well as there was some type of corruption going on in the ukraine but i wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly how trump tries to get in some of this completely unrelated uncorroborated evidence into the senate impeachment trial should it proceed that way.

>> bring it forward as a new talking point if you will. >> exactly. >> we have been watching him conduct this whole trip in crew crane in plain sight. he tried to project the sense of everything being on the up and up. and as you put it, he's a tv lawyer for trump. he's been filming this. are there any identifiable legal problems with this? is this going to bite him in the rear end? >> there would be legal problems if we were in a court of law because when you are taking video taped statements from witnesses and then trying to introduce them in a hearing, do you know what that? that's hearsay. a statement offered to prove something in court or in an impeachment hearing and i think i have heard people complaining kind of famously about hearsay being injected into these

proceedings. they're all largely irrelevant based on whether the president committed impeachable defenses but he's playing to maybe 30% of the president's hardcore base that wants to hear about it and i don't think it's going to directly impact how people end up voting in either the house or the senate on the articles of impeachment or at the impeachment trial. >> there's so much to unpack here still. we'll leave it here for now and pick it up soon and get into this much more. thank you guys and thanks for joining us this morning and have a great morning. have a great sunday. >> all right. >> now to breaking news from hong kong. tens of thousands have taken to the streets in an antigovernment march. protestors are coming up on six

months of weekend demonstrations. >> this is an impressive turnout. people are optimistic that their demands will be met, right? >> well, there were tens of thousands of people here earlier today marking the six months of protesting. it was really back to those days in june when we saw families and the elderly coming out, really pushing for these demands. as the evening has set in here, the tempo has shifted. protestors, the ones that we're familiar with now have set up barricades in central hong kong. they prepared their umbrellas, what they used for shields. what they used to throw at police and in the streets around here, the police have been

readying for confrontation as well. there are police vans, rows of riot police all in this area so what the protestors are doing now, they're adapting to a scene that is changing here moving their barricades and moving their point of confrontation with police. this has been the pattern that has developed over several months and what was unique or unusual about that protest earlier today was that it with was the first one that police have given a permit to this particular organizing group since august. so there was really a plea on the part of the government, the police and even the protest organizers that it stayed peaceful so they could push through these five demands that they expect including an independent police inquiry and broader political reforms but again as the night is setting in here, there does appear to be a

readiness for confrontation and it may be a matter of time before police start to squeeze the protestors to try to clear them from is it streets using tear gas, water cannons, a lot of the tools we have seen over the past few months. six months into the protests and still this looming question of when and how the unrest will be brought to an end. >> i notice the protestors are walking backwards. is there significance in that. >> the police are just down the street here probably a few hundred feet. they have established their lines. they have been flashing bright lights. letting it be known that they have established their front line the way that the protestors have. the protestors have built barricades back there using plastic tiles, corregated medal, fishing line, whatever they try to establish or try to impede

the police progress to break up the protests. it is what we have seen over the past several months as the violence has intensified. what has also changed in the last several months is that police are very well established with their lives in that when they do disperse the police are ready and waiting to arrest them. >> stay safe. thank you very much. it's conducted a significant test at one missile site but there's one big puzzling aspect to that claim. there's one big puzzling aspect to that claim.

good morning headlines and breaking overnight at least 33 people died in a major fire in a factory in india's capital of new delhi. many of the victims were factory

workers that were asleep when the fire began. all new this morning, the spacex dragon which is cargo spacecraft docked with the international space station within the hour. the mission brings much needed supplies including materials to support dozens of upcoming science investigations and technology demonstrations. this is the 19th recent flying mission to the space station. and the u.s.s. john f. kennedy, the president's daughter smashed a bottle across the hull as part of the christeninger is moan on saturday. >> this ship will represent the ideals he lived by. courage, sacrifice, belief in freedom and it will help make real his vision of a more just america and a more peaceful world. >> this is the second carrier to be named john f. kennedy. it's designed to carry and fly more planes with fewer sailors.

>> north korean state tv announcing a very important test at a rocket launch site. this as north korea threatened the u.s. with an unwelcomed christmas gift amid negotiations. here's president trump after denuclearization talks with north korea dimmed. >> i'd be surprised if north korea acted hostily. there's hostility. no doubt about it. >> what is significant about this launch site and the timing here. >> you know we have seen this thing before with the north koreans and in many ways the political significance and symbolism outweighs the importance of the technology that the north koreans put on display here because as usual we don't know much about what kind of rocket or projectile the north koreans launched other than what they told us in their

official releases and what the south koreans observed but regardless, this test is an ominous sign that north korea intends to follow through on the threat. the christmas gift that it intends to deliver attend of the year. that's when experts worry we could see a new test of a new kind of intercontinental ballistic missile. that's a major fear but as you mentioned, the site of this test is also significant because the north koreans launched some kind of test at the launching ground now that's a site trying to convince him and it later emerged that he hadn't shutdown the site at all but president trump said he didn't believe that kim would reopen the site against his wishes. well, now after today's test, it does look like that site is indeed open for business whether president trump likes it or not.

so that's one significant takeaway here. the north koreans also set a deadline here for the u.s. to offer what it calls significant concessions for these punishing sanctions that the u.s. imposed on north korea and after new years it may reserve the right to resume nuclear missile tests after a year in which it tested no nuclear arms so president trump spoke on saturday and they both agree they want to go back to denuclearization and those chances look like they're dimming as you mentioned. >> they do. thank you. >> yeah. >> now to new details on the prisoner swap between the u.s. and iran. iran released new video of their scientists returning to tehran saturday while a u.s. graduate student remains in germany. joining us from tehran with the latest. president trump also talking about this. what are we learning?

he gave quite an interesting presssor where he accused u.s. officials of misshaping him. being cruel and petty. he said he needed his patience in iran and he claimed u.s. officials told him well, let them die. as you also mentioned, president trump weighed in last night and possibly opening up a opening for talks which seems unlikely but this is a very fluid situation. let's take a listen to my report from last night. >> this is the moment he became a freeman. hugging an american diplomat on a tarmac after being held in an iranian prison in 2016. he had been charged with

espionage. he was there with graduate studies work. on the same tarmac they got back a scientist arrested in the u.s. last year. accused of violating u.s. sanctions by attempting to export biological materials from the u.s. to iran. returning to a hero's welcome. the exchange brokered by the swiss. in 2017, he faced those espionage charges on iranian tv. his response delivered under apparent duress. >> the more knowledge the united states possess about iran the better for its policy toward iran. >> his family overjoyed twoeting, otwoe tweeting, our family is complete once again. our son and we have waited three long years for this day. at least four other americans remain detained and missing in iran. some expressing extreme disappointment and clinging on to hope that their loved ones

may be next. >> it was a great thing for iran. it was great to show that we can do something. it might have been a precursor as to what can be done. >> and corey he's in good health and at a military base in germany undergoing medical checks. once they're completed he's expected to return to the united states in the next few days and be reunited with his family. >> his family counting down those moments. thank you. >> and it is a simple question that comes up a lot in election years, are you better off now than you were four years ago? the results of a new poll that might surprise you, next. poll t might surprise you, next when you shop with wayfair,

welcome back with us this morning. it's a simple phrase that's turned into one of the more important campaign questions. are you better off now than you were four years ago. a new poll shows many americans don't think they are. 68% said they are worse off or the same since president trump took office. only 32% consider themselves better off. joining me now this morning, yahoo! finance reporter. good morning. >> good morning. >> so what are the factors here causing people to think that things have not improved for them in the past four years. >> so here's the thing, president trump staked his re-election bid on the strength of the stock market and it is true. the stock market has rallied under his presidency. recently all three major

indices, the dow, the s&p 500, the nasdaq, all reached record highs. but does that actually impact voters? how do they feel about this? so why this poll is so important is because it shows that 2-thirds of americans say that the stock market rally this year has had little or no impact on their personal finances. and that's really key. president trump keeps touting the strength of the stock market. he tweets congratulations usa, enjoy. what we're seeing is that most americans aren't enjoying the rally in the stock market because it's not trickling down to their wallets and their pockets. now there's only 14% of u.s. households that hold stocks outright. now when it comes to federal reserve data, about half of u.s. households own stocks directly or indirectly usually through 401k or mutual funds or retirement accounts but most

americans are saying they're not feeling it. >> that's different from something that we heard in decades past where it used to be at least the common theory was that a lot of your wealth depended on the rise and fall of the stock market. has that changed when it comes to, for example, retirement savings. i would imagine that would be a major factor for americans, no? >> absolutely. so it has changed. so since the 70s what we have seen is there's been a dichs and differentiation between americans productive and how much they're actually earning. a lot of americans are working around the clock, answering e-mails at night on the dinner table and we're not seeing that impact their income. it just came out fresh on friday and the way wall street views it is a blockbuster jobs report. so it actually pushed the dow up more than 250 points but when you double down on the jobs report look at what's really in it, wages. wages are pretty much flat month to month and wages is what really matters when it comes to americans being able to spend on

the heart's desire. that's key and president trump's administration needs to double down on that if they hope for president trump to be reelected and for democrats they should basically take a page out of a famous republicans play book. ronald reagan. he had run in 1980 against jimmy carter asking voters are you better off than you were four years ago? that's what democrats need to double down on if they hope to defeat president trump. >> you mention he does like to stake his success and popularity on the economy. so let's take a listen to something he said just a few months ago. >> you have no choice but to vote for me because your 401k, down the tube, everything is going to be down the tubes. so whether you love me or hate me, you have to vote for me. >> all right. that's something we just talked about here but let's take it a step further. only 40 peculiar of people polled knew that the stock market increased in value in 2019.

others thought it had gone down or stayed the same. so does the president need to pivot here? chlts y >> yes. he can't continue to repeat that line and hope it has a better impact when it comes to voters. job approval hovers lower and messaging isn't working now. he's saying if you don't vote for me love me or hate me you have to because if you don't then your 401ks are going to be down the tube. it is important. you want the stock market to hit record highs but when it comes to millennials, we're not going to be touching those for a really long time. there's actually penalties for moving that kind of money from the stock market. so yes, president trump needs to pay attention to average americans. their wealth doesn't depend on the stock market. it mostly depends on their income and paycheck and that needs to go up. >> absolutely. their quality of life day-to-day and of course seeking the almighty young vote as well.

"washington post," a breakdown of just how much 2020 candidate mike bloomberg's personal wealth can buy in his campaign for president. joining me now rashad richey political commentator and radio talk show host. >> good morning. >> they show $6,000 a month, compare that to warren and sanders paying $3,500. why should this be troubling for other candidates. >> the man has money. the man has a bag, as they say, and here is the thing about candidates who can spend money rather than raise money, they don't build a consensus. the whole reason you have a primary process is to build a consensus from citizens. bloomberg has come in, created a staff quickly, he is basically artificially inflating his current polling numbers because he spent roughly 57 million

bucks already running into this campaign cycle. yeah, he is polling at 4% but based on how much money he has already spent he should poll way higher but he has not built any consensus whatsoever. >> he's certainly hoping that that will jump up very quickly. now, in just the two weeks bloomberg dropped $60 million in television and radio ads as you mentioned plus $4.6 million on google ads. cory booker talked about competing against wealthy candidates last week after kamala harris dropped out. take a look. >> this is a point that john kerry lent his campaign $5 million and went on to win. i do not have $5 million. if camilla did, she was about $5 million short if i have that correct, she would still be competing in iowa right now. >> why does this sound like the nomination can go to the highest which h bidder here? >> there are two different ways that you can basically fund raise for yourself or loan yourself money, you can do it the bloomberg way where you come in, spend a lot of capital up front and hope that your campaign catches fire or you can

do it the mitch mcconnell way. mitch mcconnell actually gives his campaign money when he needs it. it only attributes for about 6% of his overall campaign contributions, but he does it in a way to bail himself out when there is a close election. when you have candidates like senator booker who has a base, there's some son seconsensus fo candidacy when he cannot bail himself out you have a senator harris moment where she actually qualified for the december debate but she is so cash strapped she couldn't run commercial ads, television ads in iowa which means she likely would have never met the 15% threshold and would have come out of iowa with zero delegates. >> with camilla out and cory booker talking about the struggles with the financing and all of this, you mention that there's likely to be more billionaires than african-americans. so are the democrats shooting themselves in the foot here? >> i don't think they're shooting themselves in the foot,

i think they're bringing up a very real dynamic. you do have billionaires running in the democratic primary where it's not really a good appetite for democrats or progressives to elect another billionaire to the white house. i do think cory booker has to be careful because all of this is not based on race alone, but sometimes it's based on how these restrictions work moving further and further into the primary cycle, but make no mistake about it, bloomberg himself is shooting himself in the foot by doing television interviews and saying things like senator booker is well spoken. let me just say this for all of my white brothers and sisters, stop saying black people are well spoken because that implicitly says by default that black folk are not typically well spoken. so let's eliminate that out of the vocabulary and senator booker was right at criticizing bloomberg for making comments like that and i think that was

the worst fear for progressives was that bloomberg would go on television and go on radio and say things like that. >> he's already having to backtrack at the very beginning of his campaign. rashad richey, thank you for all of this insight and we will continue to look forward to more from you on this. thank you. >> thank you. under review, the new push to screen foreign military students after a saudi gunman opened fire at a base in pensacola. we will be right book. a base in pensacola. we will be right book. acl. acl. . . . we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out
