we must stay engaged internationally and lead by the power of our example. john would say this requires us to advance not just america's interests but our cherished values, to stand against authoritarian leaders from russia, china, north korea, and iran, and to stand with our democratic partners and allies like those in nato. last, we have to continue with john's spirit of working across the aisle. i was struck in hearing his remarkable speech in philadelphia at the national constitution center where my predecessor, vice president biden, spoke movingly in introducing him and senator mccain in accepting that law, which should be mandatory viewing at every high school in america. it is clear these two men who served decades alongside each other genuinely knew each other, knew each other's families, knew each other's values, even though they could disagree. we have to demonstrate that we can work together and be cheerful and grateful in our service. it caught my breath when i walked in this chamber yesterday to see john's desk draped in black velvet and white flower

john brennan could pursue an action. and if he does, a judge and curt will make a ruling on that. putting that aside for a second, it is certainly an abuse of powerlet's be clear about this, john brennan's problem is he spoke truth to power to a thin skinned president, and that's why he lost his security clearance, and that's why jim comey and others may lose their security clearances. this is a very dangerous precedent to set by president of the united states. you can imagine the situation ten years from now where a democratic president uses this to punish folks that are criticizing him from the right. so i think that members of congress from the republican party, of course democrats but from the republican party and others have to be worried about the action that the president is taking here. >> does this make the country less safe? >> it absolutely does. for all of the outside politics that goes on, the intelligence committees in the house and senate traditionally, but certainly the professionals that work at the cia and the fbi and the other intelligence agencies and the folks that worked there before usually will rely on each other and speak

but we john mccain, a powerful conservative republican, who really was bipartisan. is this the last of his kind as we see things right now. >> i think that's a great point. look, john mccain came in to fulfill the term once barry gold water left the senate, and goldwatter was the father of the modern conservative movement, but he did something very different. he worked with republicans and democrats. he worked across the aisle. he worked on one of the signature soft money finance reform pieces of legislation with a democrat from wisconsin. and also worked with john kerry to reopen negotiations and relationships with vietnam. he was very much a pro moneyen and activist, a hawk about invading iraq and participating in afghanistan, but, at the same time, he pushed forward on human rights. this is a guy who was very complicated, and in some ways a maverick not just about old and new, but represented a washington that has left us. he also gave the rise to sarah palin, and by opening the door to sarah palin, he opened the door to donald trump, and he has covered an arc fro

and that means that in certain ways, it could be that john mccain will be even more powerful after hisas he was during life, because in the future if a politician behaves badly and someone says, that's not what john mccain would have done, that's sort of a corrective. and the other thing -- i don't want to jump ahead, but if we're talking about the primaries in 2020, the republican primaries, and let's say if donald trump is running against several challengers, if there is a challenger who seems to have the mantle of john mccain republicanism, that's going to be a label that could be pretty powerful. >> i could have talked to you both for the whole hour but all i could get was another segment. neither of you are going anywhere. more "11th hour" after this break. if you smell gas, you're too close. leave the structure, call 911, keep people away, and call pg&e right after so we can both respond out and keep the public safe. pg&e wants you to plan ahead by mapping out escape routes and preparing a go kit, in case you need to get out quickly. for more information on how to be prepared and

john mccain knew that. his entire life was a testimony to that powerful truth. as a prisoner of war, john mccain refused offers of release because he knew what the rules were. the rules were first in, first out. he was not the first in. he just happened to be the son of an admiral, and the north vietnamese were going to make him a symbol and release him. he wouldn't do it, wouldn't accept it. his body broken by the torture and the plane crash, he stayed in that cell and waited his turn until the moment came when he could leave with his head up. john didn't want to be defined as a professional prisoner of war. i love the story about a party that was given for john and his fellow captives after they got home. one young man was telling the story of his confinement in some detail when he happened to look over and see john mccain. he suddenly felt conspicuous and said to john i shouldn't be going on about my time as a prisoner of war. i was there for six weeks. you were there for five and a half years. typical john mccain humor and wit, john replied oh, no, go right a

now he's got a list of people that he wants to be the victims of that power in a sense, craig. >> john, 13 former top officials of the cia, the written statement condemning what happened to john brennan and i want to read an exert for our viewers and listeners. we all agreed the threat against other formal fishofficials and brennan has nothing to do with who should or should not hold security clearances and everything to do with an attempt -- beyond that, this action is quite clearly a signal to other current officials as individuals who cherish and help preserve the rights of americans of free speech. that signal is inappropriate and deeply regrettable. decisions on security clearances should be based on national security concerns and not political views. that's the statement from the top cia officials. what kind of damage does this do to our national security, john mclaughlin? >> well, you know i think the damage it does is that it circumvents all of the processes that normally go along with granting, adjudicating for withdrawing security clearances. because this is a core issue for

john attracted the administrator add -- admiration of foreign leaders, not just from great powers, but from remote and struggling countries. when we traveled in libya, john was received like lafayette. he had been there when it counted, when freedom there was in the offing. he was beloved in ukraine. he had spoken there when freedom there was in the offing. and he spent an icy new year's eve with ukrainian troops on their front line. in vietnam, john was revered. i don't know any celebrities, but i do know what traveling with a select is like -- celebrity is like because i traveled with john mccain in vietnam. the statue that stands in hanoi by the lake where he was shot down calls him an air pirate, but he was treated everywhere as a hero. and you had to know he liked the air pirate thing. wherever we went in the world, he wanted to meet with prisoners, with the opposition, with whomever was pursuing freedom for their country. john mccain was america's most vigorous and loyal ambassador of freedom. he was fiercely proud that one place he was not welcomeled was russia. putin had banned

a really interesting question that john raises here, which is, imagine that there were to be a legal case testing whether this constitutes a presidential abuse of power, whether it constitutes a violation of john brennan's first amendment rights to speak as he pleases. it's a very interesting question. i think no one disputes the idea that the president of the united states has more or less unchallenged power to grant and revoke security clearances. but once there is an administrative process in place and it does appear that president trump has violated what would be the normal process for granting or revoking a clearance, that to me is a very interesting set of legal questions. so you can actually be facing, wholly separate from the mueller investigation what if you had a federal court case making its way through the system challenging whether there was a presidential abuse of power here? which is what this seems like to a layperson like me. it seems like almost the definition of a presidential abuse of power. >> susan, john, stick around, i have more to talk about. when we come back, from one president to another, the words richard nixon said in 19
