although 30 years have passed, they were building after 1989 where they assumed a new identity of an elite state. what i can say, let me assure you, freedom of speech is respected in poland. there is everything that is sanctioning in a normal democracy. one can announce what they think, one can demonstrate, say what they think in poland. police do not use tear gas against people. people can speak their mind. they can express that they're not pleased with something. this is a democracy. please ask polish journalists, when was the last demonstration when some kind of tension happened. no, it didn't.
12:01 pm
pola poland, we respect the right to express your concerns. in poland, there's free and just elections. all the standards are respected. please, ladies and gentlemen, come to poland and see poland with your own eyes. do not repeat certain stereotypes that are repeated in the west. poland has quite a conservative government. that is true. this government has certain standards of action. not everybody subscribes to those standards. this is the nature of democracy. so when you have one side of the political in power and people make a difference choice and another side of the political stage comes to power, there's nothing extraordinary about that when somebody win the election, they have the right to implement the program they announce before the elections. however, realizing implementing the program which you presented in your election campaign is
12:02 pm
resting on the politician and what is happening in poland. >> the question for both presidents. mr. president, you said just a moment ago that poland will join the visa waiver program soon. how soon? >> we think fairly soon. we're doing well with it. it's a complex situation. wooer very close. we allow few countries to join. poland is one we're thinking about allowing in. we'll be making that decision the next probably 90 days. >> sir, will you hope or do you think that maybe when you're in poland in september you will make the announcement. >> it's a very good idea. thanks for giving me that idea. >> thank you, mr. president. >> mr. president, the visa waiver program appeared but did not come into practice. how optimistic about the words
12:03 pm
of president trump? >> i'm looking at these words optimistic. i'm optimistic about that. this is the first u.s. administration which has treated this problem in such a serious way and a comprehensive way. so when we talk with mr. president, the president expressed his thoughts about that. when i present the u.s. ambassador, i officially believe that in accordance with the law with the united states, because this is something that i want to stress strongly. the court is a law, binding in the united states by all the actions necessary in this respect, such as the planning of the agreement on preventing serious crimes. i believe that through all the sanctions, there's the waiver program is going to be possible soon. it's going to be possible before the end of the first time of
12:04 pm
president donald trump. >> thank you very much. thank you. [applause] >> shepard: president trump with the polish president duda after a news conference at the white house. the current situation in poland is well-documented. democracy in poland is back sliding. the nationalist government is diminishing its judiciary and attacking the free press. president trump did not know that president duda and the ruling party there has violated its own constitution and forced judges from poland's constitutional tribunal putting new judges in place by illegal means while forcing government workers of all kinds from their jobs. when asked whether he supported forcing highest judges from their positions early, president trump just said no. the polish president pushed back against the levelled charges. president trump celebrated the two country's relationship and
12:05 pm
discussed selling poland u.s.-made war jets and moving additional troops there where the polish president proposed naming a military installation fort trump. both expressed hope of a good relationship with russia. a pivotal election is coming four months from now in poland. this was the polish president's photo op. the two leaders are just wrapping up a news conference in which they discussed very little of this at the white house. john roberts reporting live. a question or one particular question about the judges issue and the president said no, i don't support it and the polish president said no, it's not happening. >> yeah, he went on to say a lot of judges were around in the soviet era before the iron curtain fell, that they represented the old guard as duda put it. so to be a real democratic transition, they had to go, a lot of people see it differently, as a purge of people who had been there a long
12:06 pm
time and really knew what the they're doing. but duda pointed out that he said this is a conservative leaning government but when you're elected by the people to take office, you have a right to implement the policies that you have been campaigning on. it was interesting to see president trump come out there and say no, he does not agree with what duda has been doing. that was a point of departure for the two of them, this is the third time this afternoon that the two leaders have taken questions. it was about 20 minutes in the oval office and the cabinet room after that and now in the rose garden. about the only news made here is the fact that president trump did acknowledge some of what was on that paper that he held up yesterday as he was departing for council bluffs, iowa when he teased up by holding up the agreement with mexico. the "washington post," very shrewdly took a photograph of it, blew it up. you can read some of the text. the time period of 45 days was
12:07 pm
mentioned prominently, that if mexico doesn't take action in 45 days, the president will take action. the president says he has a plan b, an option 2 with mexico. he alluded to the fact that there's powerful steps that he can take if mexico doesn't reduce the flow of migrants. he also said in terms of a timetable a question that i had, what is the timetable for china and the trade agreement before you slap on those tariffs? how long will you give them? he didn't say he had a timetable. it's all up in his head. >> shepard: north korea mentioned today as well. the president continues to say that the beautiful letter and others indicate that north korea is doing right. >> yesterday he raised some questions when he talked about kim jong-nam. he was assassinated by two woman in malaysia when they smeared a
12:08 pm
nerve agent in his face. came out yesterday that king jong-nam was working as a cia operative to glean information about what was going on before he was assassinated. president trump was asked about that yesterday. he said he didn't have any knowledge of it but something like that would not have happened on his watch. he said he was asked, was the president saying that he mean that he wouldn't have had jong-nam spying for him in north korea if he was president? he said i didn't mean that. i said that. so seemed to reinforce the notion that the president wouldn't have taken a step like that. what he's trying to do is walk a very careful line here that he doesn't want to tick off kim jong-un. he thinks that he's going to be able to bring kim jong-un along the path to denuclearization and he doesn't want to say anything to rerail that. which is why he talks about him in glowing terms. i got a beautiful letter from him. north korea could do well economically. he believes he's got that train
12:09 pm
on a track and he doesn't want to do anything to knock it off a track. he did say we'll see how it goes. i could go the other way if something doesn't happen. so he's putting kim jong-un on notice that he's got a certain amount of time to come to the plate on this or things won't go well for him. shep? >> shepard: john, the other matter we're relying for you, donald trump jr. spending hours taking questions in the house committee. >> he did. i was told by sources familiar with his testimony that he testified before -- he answered questions. it wasn't testimony in an open forum. it was staff members of the senate intelligence committee asking questions. he answered questions for less than three hours. most of those questions had to do with the disparity between what donald trump jr. had said and what michael cohen had said about whether president trump had advance knowledge of the june 9 meeting in trump tower in 2016 with the russian agent. donald trump jr. refuted the notion that he told the was about it and the president
12:10 pm
didn't have previous knowledge about it before it happened. he refuted testimony that was given to the special counsel by rick gates, paul manafort's ex-partner. gates said that donald trump jr. had said in a campaign meeting prior to june 9 that he had a meeting on june 9 with sources who had information that was provided by a group in kazakhstan. there were a few questions about paul manafort. he add times ignored the suggestion that he not answer a certain question. he was told by his counsel that -- and his other counsel to not answer certain questions. he said you know what? i appreciate your counsel but i want to answer them in the interest of transparency. i do believe, shep, this is the last time he will be before the
12:11 pm
senate intelligence committee. >> shepard: john roberts, thank you. we're keeping an eye on capitol hill where lawmakers on the house oversight committee are preparing to hold in contempt of congress the attorney general bill barr and the commerce secretary wilbur ross. the administration is refusing to comply with subpoenas related to its plan to add a citizen question question to the 2020 census and that is the matter at hand. mike emanuel reporting live. mike? >> oversight chairman elijah cummings asserting executive privilege asking what the president has the hide. cummings says the contempt vote is not personal. >> nobody is trying to be harmful to our attorney general. it's not about him. nobody is trying to be harmful to the secretary of commerce. it's not about him. it's about our country. >> part of the justice
12:12 pm
department's defense of declaring executive privilege is it's already turned over many documents in response to the subpoena, but it had to keep certain information confidential to protect attorney client privilege and internal deliberations. a leading conservative suggests the battle is all political theater. >> democrats in the supreme court will rule by the end of the month on this citizenship question. they hope to use the oversight power to create a controversy around this issue, try to impact the court's decision. >> chairman cummings is frustrated by this askertation of executive privilege saying the committee has asked for the documents more than a year and hours before a possible contempt vote, the president exerts executive privilege. >> shepard: mike emanuel live on capitol hill, a bill to help sick and dying 9-11 first responders and survivors is

get powerful relief with new pepto bismol liquicaps. >> it's now up to congress to take care of the sick and dying heros of 9-11 and their family. the house judiciary committee giving the green light for a bill to keep the 9-11 compensation fund running through the year 2090. this comes after powerful testimony on capitol hill from jon stewart and 9-11 first responders including a retired nypd detective who is dying of stage 4 cancer.
12:18 pm
>> going to make sure you never forget to take care of the 9-11 responders. >> shepard: jon stewart ripped into lawmakers for not moving more quickly to save the 9-11 fund, which is running out of money. >> they did their job with tenacity, humility, bravery. 18 years later, do yours. >> neil: today the bill is ready to hit the house floor. but it's unclear exactly when lawmakers may vote on it. it's not just firefighters, cops, cleanup workers that benefit from the program but people that lived and worked and went to school near the world trade center. lila nordstrom was a student at a nearby high school and now an advocate for the victim's fund. she also testified telling lawmakers that several of her former classmates now have
12:19 pm
lymphoma and other cancers. she joins us live now from washington. thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> shepard: i was struck yesterday with part of the testimony that you gave when you discussed going back to school and the conditions that surrounded it. i want to play for our viewer what's you said. listen. >> we went back on october 9, less than a month after the attacks. ground zero was still on fire and would be for another four months. the smell of smoke was suffocating every day and despite assurances from officials, very little got done to clean the school for students. >> shepard: officials said the air was safe. >> that's right. we were told a few days after the attack by the epa administrator at the time that the air downtown was "safe to breathe." what we learned after we were already down there and after thousands of children returned to school in the area was that the air was most definitely not
12:20 pm
safe to breathe. we were breathing in the same toxic chemicals that are making first responders sick. instead of removing us when it was clear not to stay there, we finished out the school year. >> shepard: why do you think they did that? >> i think at the time people were not really sure how to react given the situation. 9-11 was an incredibly large attack. an unprecedented event. people didn't have much experience dealing with something of this magnitude. there were so many concerns that they were facing including what to do about the fact that wall street is downtown, what to do with the thousands of residents and thousands of office workers down there. i think they just made the wrong call. >> shepard: if you move school kids, that moves residents. if residents move, there goes the neighborhood. >> i think there was a lot of concern that this would have larger implications for the economy. there was a lot of concern that
12:21 pm
if people didn't return immediately to the area, we would be facing some sort of economic problems, collapse because wall street is down there. i think they prioritized the health of the economy over the health of the american citizens that were dealing on the front lines. >> shepard: are you confident that this bill will pass and things will be right? >> i wish i would say i was confident it will pass in the house. we have 308 co-sponsors. i have no idea what will happen in the senate. i hope they feel called to act on it quickly, especially given the testimony yesterday. i know you played a quick of detective alvarez's testimony. everybody gave compelling testimony. we're all living with this uncertainty, which only makes the results of these exposures more difficult to deal with. >> shepard: lila nordstrom, an activist today. great to see you. thank you. >> thanks for your coverage.

12:27 pm
prosecutors called for 13 months behind bars. they argued that probation would be a slap on the wrist. this sentence should be one to send a message. the defense attorneys had argued probation would be adequate for this particular defendant. they said that vandemore was unlike other coaches that he didn't pocket a dime. all of the money they argued went to the sailing program at stanford. worth noting, vandemore spoke here as part of this proceeding acknowledging that he said he made a terrible mistake and vowing i never again lose sight of my values. once again, the judge saying just that one day served, two years supervised release in the first coach, the first person, the first defendant sentenced in the college admissions scandal. >> shepard: molly line live in boston. it's been a quarter century since the murders of nicole simpson and ron goldman. now new accusations from the family of one of the victims

about the jury in the trial of the century. that's coming up. but first, today we remember a man whose efforts were vital in the civil rights movement across our nation. but whose name is not always on the forefront of history. on this day in the year 1963, a white supremacist shot and killed medgar evers outside his home in jackson, mississippi. during world war ii, evers fought for the army. he graduated from college and started working as an insurance salesman. he quit his job and joined the civil rights movement. medgar evers a supplied to the university of mississippi law school in hopes to desegregation but they didn't let him in. in 1954, evers became the first field secretary of the naacp in mississippi. he spent years recruiting
12:29 pm
members, organizing boycotts and voter registration efforts and focused on crime against african americans. most notably, the lynching of emmett till, a 14-year-old boy who was killed for talking to a white woman. medgar evers fought for equality until the day he died. on that day a klansman ambushed him and assassinated him in his driveway. took decades and multiple times for his killer to face justice. now his home is a national monument. now lawmakers say his work cannot be overstated. medgar evers, civil rights icon was just 37 years old. people, our sales now apply to only 10 frames.

12:34 pm
simpson and ron goldman began to captivate our nation. o.j. simpson, hall of fame football player, movie star, america's one-time golden boy became the prime suspect. >> mr. simpson is a wanted murder suspect, two counts of murder. >> it started with police formally accusing o.j. simpson of killing his ex-wife, nicole and her friend, ron goldman. simpson agreed to turn himself in that morning. to his lawyer's dismay, he never showed up. >> we're all shocked by the sudden turn of events. >> so was the public which had been following details of the mounting evidence against the football icon. he was on a flight to chicago five days prior as a neighbor discovered the crime scene. >> first in los angeles, a sample of blood matching the type of o.j. simpson's was found in his ford bronco. a blood-soaked glove and ski mask were covered in his mansion and in chicago, what appeared to
12:35 pm
be blood stains were found on two pillow cases and a bloodied towel in his hotel room. >> investigators never found a murder weapon. but it became clear the case was centers on one person. >> simpson's alibi seems to have fallen apart. his limousine driver said simpson was not there when the driver went to pick him up. 15 minutes later, o.j. appeared looking sweaty and agitated. >> we need to find him and bring him to justice and make sure that we find him as quickly as possible. >> on the run from the law, it appeared o.j. simpson was becoming unhinged increasingly. >> this letter was written by o.j. >> as a friend read his suicide note. >> don't feel sorry for me. i've had a great life, great friends. please think of the real o.j. and not this lost person. >> it didn't take long for the
12:36 pm
lost person to be found. some 95 million people tuned in after cops located the white ford bronco that was carrying o.j. down an l.a. freeway. nbc cut away from the nba finals airing the game with picture in picture. the chase lasted more than an hour giving hundreds of people time to line up on the freeways and overpasses. simpson's long-time friend al cowlings was behind the wheel as the juice reportedly held a gun to his own head in the back suit. as the pursued continues, a detective spoke with him over the phone. >> think of your kids. your scaring anybody. >> i'm not going to hurt anybody. >> i know you're not. >> i'm just going to go with me. >> please, you're scaring everybody. you're scaring them. >> just tell them i'm all sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry that i did this to the police department. >> i think you should tell them yourself. i don't want to have to tell your kids that.
12:37 pm
your kids need you. >> i already said good-bye to my kids. >> the chase eventually ended in the driveway of simpson's brentwood mansion where he surrendered after a brief standoff. cameras followed him to the police station where journalists watched from a distance as copped booked him before handing out his mug shot. it was the first day of what would become a year's long media circus. >> no matter which way hertz decides to go with simpson, they may not avoid customer backlash. >> the latest nightmare for the family of nicole brown simpson. >> this is one of the reporters that covered the trial. >> guilty or not guilty? >> not guilty. >> from the moment his entered a plea, his dream team was relengthless, attacking the police and accusing them of planting evidence and asking
12:38 pm
jurors to ignore the trail of brood. >> if it doesn't fit, you must a quit. >> when the verdict came -- >> mr. simpson, would you stand and face the jury? >> o.j. once again captured the nation's attention. an estimated 150 million people watched it live on tv. >> we the jury find the defendant o.j. simpson not guilty of the crime of murder. >> we're in the middle of temple street in front of the courthouse. there's chaos in the streets as the celebration has begun here. >> but the celebration among simpson supporters wouldn't last long. criminally he was off the hook. jurors in a civil court reached a different conclude siding with the victim's families that asked them to find simpson liable for the killings. there was an awesome scream in
12:39 pm
the courtroom. fred goldman reached forward and hugged his lawyer. the jury awarded the families millions of dollars that simpson couldn't play. authorities seized his possessions and foreclosed on his home. simpson never went away and stopped blaming others. at one point he called in to fox news to direct rage at me. >> do you miss your wife? >> yes, i do. >> do you hope that murdered her so brutally -- >> i think i'm the only person that is looking. >> you don't sound like -- >> i can live with that. >> you sound angry. >> i'm angry at you. >> simpson served a stint in prison for an unrelated robbery case. he got out a couple years ago and living in the vegas area. 25 years after the murders, o.j.
12:40 pm
simpson says he's moved on to a no negative zone. he told the a.p. that he plays golf almost every day and life is fine. ron goldman's dad says the pain is always there. goldman's sister also making a bomb shell claim that she spoke to two jurors that told her the jury pretended to deliberate but already made up their minds. >> they corroborated what my dad thought. they didn't do their job. they pulled testimony to cover up what they knew what their answer was and they wasted our time for 3 1/2 hours making that fake deliberation so they could look better. >> pretend like they were doing their job. >> despite winning a multimillion dollar judgment against o.j., the victim's families say they haven't seen most of that money. john is here, the attorney that won the wrongful death lawsuit for nicole brown's family and
12:41 pm
judge andrew andrew napolitano that covered the trial in 1995. you won it but they didn't get anything, did they? >> not much of anything. some personal property, his pensions were excluded from my collection process by law. that's what he's living off of now, pensions from hertz, the nfl. >> all that encompassed, that was o.j. by the sea we called it. of all that encompassed that civil trial, what is your lasting memory? >> just the right result in the end. went more smoothly than the criminal trial. i covered that for fox. i went from covering the criminal trial to the civil trial. just some measure of justice, some measure of closure. you know, not everybody was able to move on with their lives after that. >> shepard: judge, you covered
12:42 pm
it from here and there, what are your biggest memories? >> i have two memories. one of a very weak judge, judge ito, the now infamous judge in the criminal case. and his allowing himself to be bullied by o.j.'s team. alternately charmed and bullied. the other is the race card that was played so effectively. the piece you ran a few minutes ago about the jury didn't deliberate is probably true. this was a racial statement, not a statement with respect to a just outcome. the jurors new what the racial statement would be long before the closing arguments and the charge by the judge. >> shepard: most would agree they won the trial when they got the change of menu. should have been in santa monica. it was moved to downtown los angeles. the jury pool is different. today's climate, you can't describe it well except we were completely divided along those lines. a trail was blood was set aside.
12:43 pm
i wondered at the time if our lack of familiarity as a culture and even in courtrooms with dn am technology and dna signs as part of it. when barry schect stood up there, how about that, mr. fong? i wondered then, these jurors are lost. >> you have to remember, this was in the backdrop of the rodney king acquittal of police officers and the riots in 92. 50 people were killed, 2,000 injured. part of l.a. was burning down. there was this awful tinder box with the afro american community and law enforcement in the early 90s. you had 11 afro american jurors on the case, you know, with o.j. simpson in all white, detectives and cops, you didn't have a chance. they could have videotaped the murder and the jury would have come back the same way.
12:44 pm
>> shepard: i remember being outside the courthouse as the verdict was being read. standing in front of the courthouse downtown with the smog still thick in the air with a bunch of photographers and produce producers, we made a plan. here's how we were getting out of town. there was nobody in los angeles that didn't believe if there was a guilty verdict all hell was about to break loose. you could feel it. >> the evidence was guilt was ever overwhelming, this was the case. marsha clark became a friend of mine from a show i did, which i played any self, a reality show. all the o.j. lawyers, prosecutors and defense counsel where the lawyers that try these crazy small claims cases in a show called "power of attorney." marsha clark tried a brilliant case. you thought she lost so many motions because of the judge running for re-election, charmed by o.j.'s lawyers, intimidated by o.j.'s lawyers. quite frankly i just left the
12:45 pm
bench. i spent most of my time on air with john gibson second guessing lance ito, this is from a person that thinks that government is too handily handed and sides with the defendants. not in the case. the government did the right thing, tried the right case but the judge didn't give them what they needed and the atmosphere was never going to produce a conviction. >> shepard: 95 million watching that. there will never be -- i guess never be an event in america like that again. >> even though the civil case, gagged no, cameras, when the verdict came in open the civil case also, they interrupted clinton's state of the union address to read the verdict. >> that judge in the civil case, if he tried the criminal case, a radically different outcome. >> shepard: that court was tight. you didn't mess around in that courtroom. we never got in there we had to listen from a trailer. >> the first thing the judge told me is get a hair cut. >> shepard: you couldn't do that today either. i worked for a local station in
12:46 pm
miami. we added a 4:00 news cast because o.j. came back from lunch at 1:00, 1:30 and created programming that carried us throughout the afternoon. o.j. was local news all over the country. never forget it. >> got that right. >> shepard: thank you, guys. >> all made good friends. >> shepard: we did. and o.j. is apparently loving las vegas. a new arrest after somebody shot the former red sox slugger david ortiz. we're live in the dominican republic with the latest on the big papi investigation. that's next. hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?!
