caller: yes, i'd like to ask mr. craig crawford, what does he have against rich people? never got a job from a poor person. people have to have money in order to hire somebody. on not to -- top of that, i have a comment. i came from another country in 1968. it's from a communist country, bulgaria. i came over here for the freedom. if people knew what president obama was talking about when he got elected, if they could have got some of the sentences in his speeches and matched it to the manifesto of karl marx, he spoke exactly like them! guest: your point about rich people, it's always -- it's always hard to avoid provoking your kind of reaction that i'm saying there's something wrong with rich people, they shouldn't be rich or what i'm saying is they shouldn't be able to buy elections and that's the system we're now in. that folks who are not rich have less and less of a voice in a system where billionaires can literally buy members of congress, senate and, unfortunately, i think, presidents is the next step. host: alex is on the phone from augusta, georgia. good morning

mr. the next work week. >>mark: we have had the option rain this morning. tests >>craig: this is the on ramp going northbound on tv at mclaughlin. cars are coming on although the chp is moving some of them to the left forcing them into the main part of the freeway. this witness is the rain has stopped and has sought for some time. >>mark: let's by how bad the backup is. >>george: this is one of the hot spots we have been tracking this morning, the 280 ride in the northbound direction. this was also the theme of an accident. the left lanes were affected by the crash. you can see on the traffic maps that the backup reaches back to the 280-1 01 interchange. the only saving grace besides the fact that it is no longer reading is that this is still a lighter than usual trouble week because it has been spring break for some money. as we look at more of the south bay freeways you'll see that there is not much in the weight of slow traffic. we still have major problems on 580 westbound, our other hot spot. it is a eastbound accident that started to back up the was down right. loo

mr. the next work week. >>mark: we are continuing to watch while the weather around the bay. craig 101 in santa clara. >>craig: there is more sunshine and a disguise in the rain. there is one tricky aspect especially if you're headed southbound. rain and water is kicking up on the road making visibility tricky. plasticine from the sunlight on the water is leaking in dangerous. the rain is gone and the sun is out. >> we have had a lot of flooding on the roadways this morning. >>george: we are no longer getting any reports of flooding. the number accidence has dropped dramatically. this has been a lighter than usual traffic week. we are not tracking any hot spot for and we are not looking at any major delays or tieups. the big concern is the bay bridge. so for does not seem to be any province or on the bay bridge toll plaza. for your ride across the san mateo bridge looks good. dry pavement and an easy ride eastbound and westbound. currently there is no delay on 880 on the 92 interchange. the golden gate bridge ride forgot what recently and we will see that from time to time througho

turning craig sonner and hal uhrig met with the press moments ago, dropping this bomb shell. >> as of now, we are withdrawing as counsel for mr. zimmerman. we lost contact with him. up to this point we've had contact everyday. he's gone on his own. i'm not sure what he's doing or who he's talking to, but at this point, we're withdrawing as counsel. as of, i believe, sunday, and the last couple days, he has not returned phone calls or text messages or e-mails, leading me to believe that i can't go forward speaking to the public about george zimmerman in this case, as help representing him. because i've lost contact with him. >> as of sunday we lost contact with george. er with professionals. craig sonner, craig sonner pa, hal uhrig the defense group, we do this for a living. we try to do a good job of it. but we are not putting ourselves out to the public for continuing representatives of a client unless he makes it clear us to he wants us to be his representatives. >> i can't keep coming and talking with the media sane, yeah, i represent george zimmerman when he has given me indications that i'm not representing him. >> this

craig's not report the rising number. killed all the headlines telling the truth that. story. and the. other part of it and realize that everything is. part of the big picture. i'm lauren mr. will get real headlines but not. the problem with the mainstream media today is that we disconnected from the viewers from what actually matters to those viewers and so that's why young people just don't watch t.v. if they want news they go online and we're trying to take those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back in t.v. . is the state run in english speaking russian channel it's kind of like. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. i comes to drug offenders the sunshine state is taking a hardline approach on the issue for decades in the ninety's and the state was experiencing a crack cocaine epidemic the state passed an eighty five percent rule and that state of those in florida those sentenced to prison in florida who committed their crimes after october first of one thousand nine hundred five will serve a minimum of eighty five percent of their sentences this applies to all inmates regardless of the type of crime they com

mr. zimmerman. we've lost contact with him. up to this point we've had contact every day. >> reporter: craig sonner and hall uhrig say sunday was the last time they heard from their client, george zimmerman. >> he's not returning my messages, my texts, e-mails. he won't even give me a collect call. >> reporter: benjamin crump, the attorney for trayvon martin's parents, are worried no one knows where zimmerman is. >> we're concerned he may be a flight risk. nobody knows where he's at. he can get in contact with you but he can't get in contact with him. >> reporter: dropping lawyers was the most unusual move by zimmerman. over the weekend he set up his own website to collect donations, updating is yesterday by saying, i'm attempting to respond to each and every one of my supporters personally. zimmerman also apparently upset his legal team by placing an off the record phone call to fox new's sean hannity, who confirmed the call but little else on his show last night. >> he reached out to me. we spoke on the phone about his case. and i agreed not to report on the contents of that conversation. that's it. i don't -- i know nothing

craig sonner and hal are george zimmerman's attorneys. nice to have you both here. mr.urig, let me start with you. when do you expect to meet with mr. zimmerman face to face, and are you getting closer to the point where you think it would be beneficial to have him tell his story publicly? >> well, two things. number one we expect to meet with him very soon, perhaps this week. in terms of the timing for when he's going to be able to tell his story, we're constrained. we've got a special prosecutor who's still in the process of completing an investigation. the last thing we want to do is get sideways with her or do anything that would compromise her decision-making process. so we've got a little problem with that. as soon as he is either dismissed, or they decide not to charge him, or if he's eventually vindicated he'll come out. if they charge him, then you're not going to hear from him until it's over. >> what do you think they're looking at, the special prosecutor? where is the real focus of the investigation? will it be on this stand your ground law and whether that'

craig sonar, first of all, one of the two partners made the announcement. >> they're withdrawing his counsel for mr. zimmerman. we've lost contact with him. up until this point, we've had contact every day. he's gone on his own. i'm not sure what he's doing or who he's talking to. >> bill: lost contact. he wouldn't talk to them. he called -- and then hal urich the other partner pointed out, again, going back to this phone call, he made to the prosecutor without telling them. >> we heard today that george had contacted the were prosecutor's office directly. one of the thing every defense attorney tells his client is don't talk to the prosecutors or the cops. frankly, don't talk to anybody until we get control of the situation and do it through counsel. >> bill: what do you think it means when his attorneys say they'll no longer represent him? i think there's a lot more to it than the fact that they haven't talked to him. i think there is a lot more to it than he moved out of town. i think there's a lot more than the fact that he called sean hannity or called the special prosecutor. i think they know

craig sonner stepped up to the microphone, some expected george zimmerman might be with them. instead reporters around the country got this. >> as of now, we're withdrawing as counsel for mr. zimmerman. we've lost contact with him. up to this point we've had contact everyday. he's gone on his own. i'm not sure what he's doing or who he's talking to. >> zimmerman they suggested had essentially gone rogue, had contacted the special prosecutors office on his own and is in a fragile condition. >> george zimmerman in our opinion and from information made available to us is not doing well emotionally, probably suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. we understand from others he may have lost a lot of weight. our concern is for him to do this when he's got a couple of professionals working as hard as we were for his benefit to handle it this way suggests that he may not be in complete control of what's going on. we're concerned for his emotional and physical safety. >> that was hal uhrig. zimmerman for his part said nothing about developments either through his family or website. he wrote i'm attempting to respond to each and every one of my supports everywhere. joining me
