Summary
On Saturday, a 21-year-old killed three people in Jacksonville, Florida, in a racist hate crime. 60 years on from Martin Luther King's famous 'I Have a Dream' speech, and three years on from the killing of George Floyd, why does America seem to always go 'two steps forward and then two steps back'? And do the GOP frontrunners have a handle of the problem of racial discrimination in America?
We ask Ron Christie, Republican strategist who's father used to vandalise segregationist signs in 1960s America.
And.. Trump's court date for election interference is set for early March. The day before the biggest day in the race to be nominated as the Republican presidential candidate for 2024. That'll be some week.

| 0:00.0 | The Newsagents USA podcast is brought to you by HSBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity. |
| 0:09.2 | This is a global player original podcast. Okay, I know this is Newsagents USA, but I want to talk to you |
| 0:17.0 | about William Shakespeare, about his play, Julius Caesar, and the Ides of March. |
| 0:24.0 | The 15th of March was the date that was predicted when Julius Caesar would cop it. |
| 0:29.2 | Well, March 2024 is shaping up to be quite a 31 days for Donald Trump, because on the 5th of March, it is Super Tuesday, when all those states go to vote. |
| 0:41.4 | But on the 4th of March is the day that he goes on trial in Washington, D.C. for conspiracy |
| 0:48.8 | against the United States of America and witness tampering under a number of charges as well. And if that wasn't |
| 0:56.3 | enough, later on in March, he goes on trial in New York, in the case of Stormy Daniels and that |
| 1:03.8 | payment of $130,000 to a porn star that wasn't declared just before the 2016 presidential election. It is going to be |
| 1:15.6 | quite an election campaign. Welcome to Newsagents USA. This is the Newsagents USA with Emily |
| 1:26.4 | Maidliss and John Sobel. |
| 1:30.7 | It's me in Newsagents HQ. |
| 1:33.2 | And hopefully Emily will be back next week. |
| 1:35.5 | But we've got to start with Donald Trump's extraordinary fundraising this weekend with one photograph. |
| 1:44.0 | The photo, of course, of him at Fulton County Jailhouse, |
| 1:48.4 | the mugshot. The picture of him glowering into the camera, his head tilted down, his eyes |
| 1:54.8 | looking up, his lips pursed, an angry, defiant Donald Trump. But of course, there is legal jeopardy wherever he looks, |
| 2:04.9 | and that shouldn't be forgotten, even if he is using it as a fundraising opportunity. And boy, |
| 2:10.9 | does he need to use it as a fundraising opportunity? Because he is spending millions, tens of millions, |
| 2:17.2 | literally in legal fees alone, just to keep him out of prison, frankly, with these four indictments and 91 charges that he faces. |
