7:06 pm
here is the sheriff describing that scene. >> george zimmerman met two areas of the sheriff's office and was placed into custody, transported to the correctional facility. >> george zimmerman will remain in isolation away from the general population, for how long remains to be seen. his attorney said he will file for another bond hearing tomorrow. in the meantime, it's still up to the judge to determine whether there will be bond. >> he is in custody now, and we will remain there until we get before the judge, if and when he grants the bond hearing, it's something he may consider. >> the judge is still angry over what he now believes may have been deceit on the part of the zimmerman family, they said they had no money and they knew they had money that was donated for him to a website. and he knows that because of
7:07 pm
jail recording that revealed a conversation between he and his wife saying they have money. this will all be worked out at some point when there's a hearing. >> a refresher for you, zimmerman said he shot a teenager in self defense, he is charged with second degree murder, that is a potential for life in prison. he posts bail and was free until today, his trial is not expected to start until next year. mart i tried to get inside george zimmerman's head to figure out why he would intentionally do something that would get him back in jail, at a time when things were not looking so bad in his case.
7:08 pm
>> because he did not think he was going to get caught. that is the short answer, don. he thought if he let his wife testify, well we do not know about the money, and he did not disclose to his lawyer what was going on, that he could have deniability. >> he is facing murder charges. >> yes, doesn't it tell you where his mind-set is, i can skate and convince them i'm telling the truth. >> tonight, lower than expected job numbers this week and a bleak out look for the economy. how it's effecting the race for the white house and legendary walter kronkite, you may have known him as the most trusted man in america, but did you know

higher and the stock market tumbles lower and this week's numbers have complicated president obama's efforts to keep his job, i talked with it to experts and asked them about the recent tumble in consumer confidence and comparisons to a previous democratic president. the biggest drop in eight
7:12 pm
months and that reminded me of another democratic president, he is sometimes compared to, who confronted his own crisis of confidence. and he had an energy crisis as well. >> it's a crisis of confidence. it is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. we can see this crisis, in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation. >> he was trying to sell it there, did you see, hand gest e gestures and emotion, that was a malee speech, so-called, is president obama in danger of becoming president carter, a president that cannot convince people that we can fix the economy? >> there are parallels here, a
7:13 pm
boring weak growth in three years and trying to convince us that we are heading in the right durati direction, you cannot under state how bad that speech is by jimmy carter. president obama will never put out a speech that way. >> i never saw president carter that animated. when you are looking at it in history, it looked forced, didn't it? >> yeah, absolutely. >> is that a fair comparison, lz? >> yes and no, it's as fair as will said in terms of the situation, yeah, that is very fair. i don't think that anyone will look at president obama, anyone who is fair anyway will look at president boobama and think of jimmy carter. no one views president obama as weak in foreign politics like they did with jimmy carter.
7:14 pm
and you have to look at who he is running against. jimmy carter was running against' salesman. >> aren't they all salesmen? >> yes, but romney is a different beast. he is not good at getting in touch with every day people. reagan was. >> we want to talk quickly about the recall election in chicago. it will effect november? >> it's the death throws of the unions. the unions put all they had in the fight, it does not look like it's going well for them. the democrats did not get into it because they knew it was not going to go well. >> i thought it was amazing, w back at the white house for his portrait. take a listen. >> you will now gaze at this
7:15 pm
picture and ask, what will george do? >> you know, it was -- you know, love him or hate him or whatever, he was funny and it was just interesting to see him in that setting, yes? lz? >> yes, absolutely, he has the luxury of being able to make fun of himself, i guess that is nice. >> want to know what life is really like on the campaign trail, this tuesday, join our cnn round table, with wolf blitzer and the best political team. get questions in real time in the live chat. log on to cnn.com/roundtable. vice president joe biden's daughter tied the knot. she married dr. howard kreen yesterday. she was a social worker in delaware and the groom is a plastic surgeon.
7:16 pm
200 guests gathered for that celebration. and millions americans welcomed him into their home and his tag line "that's the way it is" i'm talking about walter cronkite, he defined what a journalist was. he reported on the most pro found moments in the '60s and '70s. a book celebrates his accomplishments and reveals that he was human like the rest of us even though he was considered the most trusted man in america. i asked douglas brinkley about his title. >> well, it's hard to live up to being the most trusted man in america, that was what he was dubbed as by a quail pole and he was very trusted. his integrity factor was very high. i write in the book about moments, it was the old boy's club, in a time when politicians and journalists interacted
7:17 pm
differently than they do now. by the time he was the anchor, people were getting the news from the evening news of walter cronkite and it almost was a routine. you got home from work and relaxed a bit and watched cronkite and had dinner so his impact was huge. the gay rights and environment movement and civil rights. all the stories were covered in a very real time and important way. so you cannot think about something like the birth of earth day and why the imagines of bull connor and the horrors or jim crow were brought into everyone's living room, because walter cronkite as managing editor insisted on it. >> jfk died at -- >> i remember getting these glasses and i never thought about it. i just liked the glasses and my colleagues sort of called them
7:18 pm
my cronkites and i picked up that name. it's interesting, when you see him with the glasses, talking about the death of john f.kennedy. that was his moment and that is probably the iconic moment in journalism and i think the next is 9/11. >> everyone knows that clip, he came in that day, a normal friday, a lot of people had cut out for the weekend and others were having long lunches their new york. he brought his lunch and he was an old united press wire service guy, and he would hear the hum of the machines and got a shooting in dallas and he ran with it. he did not just announce it to the nation, in that famous scene, he continued it all weekend long, he had a report on lee harvey oswald and who he was and how did jackie kennedy handle the death and the funeral. i call him a rabi or pastor in
7:19 pm
chief, he held our hands in a communal way during the assassination. his relationship with kennedy was testy because kennedy wanted to do a do-over on a interview like we are doing now and cronkite said no. but he became close to bobby kennedy. in 1968, cronkite urged bobby kennedy to run for president and challenge lyndon johnson for the nomination, cronkite went to vietnam and was sickened by what he saw. people question, why would he urge somebody like bobby kennedy to run for president, is that ethical and the answer was vietnam tore the country apart. once he went incountry and looked around, his sense of being a humanist was above him
