>> thanks. with us from texas, ryan crocker, american ambassador to iraq under president bush and president obama. now at texas am university. ambassador crocker, good morning. >> good morning. >> we have worked with the iranians before in iraq. you were part of the conversations then. how can we cooperate now? >> we also workd with the iranians in afghanistan just before and after the fall of the taliban. so, it's something we can do. but both of us need to be careful. this is a sectarian struggle. and if we are seen as cooperating too closely with iran it is going to further alienate the sunni element of the iraqi population. so, it's good we're talking. we just have to be careful. and they're going to be cautious, too. >> what restraints would you like to see put on what iran does in iraq? >> first, not to exacerbate the situation. in other words not to support extremist shia militias. we've already seen some indications of sectarian strife moving into baghdad with the murder overnight of some sunni, young men. what the iranians need to do is use all of their influence and effort to see that the isis effort to exacerbate a sectarian war do not succeed by a shia reaction. >> ambassador the president said we would be sending 275 troops to iraq. does this mean a deeper involvement of the u.s. military in iraq? >> no not at all, norah. these small number of marines are going to iraq to support the defense of the embassy, not for any other purpose that i'm aware of. >> what should secretary kerry be doing? should he be in the region? >> secretary kerry, in my view should be on a plane right now for baghdad. the focus has been on the conflict that is indeed serious. but, you know diplomacy is what is crucial right now. we need to work with the iraqis at the highest level. that would be secretary kerry, backed by the president, so that they can demonstrate the national unity, kurdish, sunni and shia that is going to be essential if there is going to be any hope of turning back the isis threat. >> ambassador crocker, has the united states and obama administration failed to pay sufficient attention to iraq since americans left? >> i would have liked to have seen more sustained, high-level diplomatic engagement with the iraqis. this is a very young democracy that has a lot of challenges. we are hard-wired into their political system. we helped create it. we can't walk away from it. so i would have preferred since 2011 to see us more deeply and intensively engaged at the highest levels of government. i don't think it's too late but we better move now. >> ambassador crocker, thank you. and the u.s. is in great shape at the world cup after last night's thrilling 2-1 victory over ghana. millions of americans are celebrating this morning.

>> that's a good question. the supreme court rarely gets involved in cases. they'll have 8,000 to 10,000 applications each term and of that they'll hear 70 or 80 cases. there has to be something here that grabs their attention. clearly, what they're saying here is they want to take a look. doesn't mean they'll change anything but they want to take a look at the boundaries of free speech, especially now when we're talking about social media. it's so much different, obviously, than when the law was evolving over the last few decades. >> does it matter that he said look, i never intended to do this, it was just words. >> that's the whole point of the trial. as things have evolved generally we don't punish thoughts or words. we punish conduct. but there are exceptions. free speech is not absolute. as the law has evolved, when we're looking at words, threatening words, the standard is what would a reasonable person feel ♪ person on the other end of it? would a reasonable person under the circumstances generally feel threatened? if they would, somebody can be convicted. what they're asking here defendant's attorneys are saying we need to change that. person to person communication used to be a phone call e-mail letter. now you hit send on one of these platforms or people go to rant and rave and it's different. now the argument is the standard should be what was the intent of the person who said those words? that would be a very big shift if the supreme court decides to follow it. >> free speech generally speaking, is in the first amendment. do they just want to get involved in the case on social media? >> i think what they're doing -- the standard was always -- supreme court came out and said free speech protected except for example, if you yell "fire" in a theater when there is no fire, that he not protected. words can be ranting and raving with no intent to do anything. they can be harmful, they can be difficult. are they going to be criminal? that's where they're trying to figure out -- >> reasonable and intent. >> exactly. because reasonable we look for the reasonable person. but does that mean that you would have the same reaction to it that i would have to it? that's why they're trying to argue here -- i don't know what the court is going to do. nobody knows what the court is going to do until they tell us. you should look at the factors around the person's intent rather than the factors surrounding the words. the supreme court upheld a federal ban on straw purchases. that's when a person buys a firearm for someone else who could have bought one themselves legally. the law make it is easier to trace guns and the ruling came on the same day that richard markinis arrived in washington. his son, christopher, was killed in the santa barbara rampage. he blames it on the inaction of politicians. >> they are behaving like 5-year-olds in a sand box. i'm serious. if they can't act in the light of this tragedy, then how the hell can rely on them to take care of this country?
