"the washington post" reports tonight that u.s. personnel at the embassy in kabul have started destroying classified documents and equipment and internal memo obtained by the post goes so far as to call for destruction of anything involving embassy or agency logos or american flags or any other items, which could be misused in propaganda efforts. they are shutting down, evacuating, and trying to make sure what's left behind doesn't fall into the worst-possible hands. this is the doomsday scenario that we're not sure if anybody planned well enough for. to help us better understand what this means, in practical terms, and what this means for our afghan allies and the americans who served there. we are joined by jake, he served as marine infantry commander in afghanistan. he is now a congressman from massachusetts. congressman, thank you so much for joining us tonight. i know it's a difficult day. >> good to be back with you, rachel. thanks for having me. >> what is your reaction to seeing the news we -- we spoke a few weeks ago after the u.s. withdrawal was well and truly
