From New York, this is Democracy Now.

Paramount, it was supported by Jared Kushner, Mr. President.

Would that impact your decision? If Paramount is, I don Kushner, Mr. President. Would that impact your decision?

If Paramount is, I don't know.

I've never spoken about it.

With financial backing from President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner,

and sovereign funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi,

Paramounts launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Brothers Discovery just days after losing

out to Netflix in a bidding war for the company.

We'll look at the competing deals that could reshape the film industry and media landscape.

Then outcry is growing after the Trump administration drops free admission at national parks

on the only two federal holidays honoring Black history, Juneteenth, then Martin Luther King Day.

Instead, the parks will be free on Donald Trump's birthday.

Then to the case of Mumia Abu Jamal, the imprisoned journalists and former Black Panther who's been jailed for 44 years.

I have been, for all intents and purposes, unable to read, unable to write, unable to see anything more than the masthead of a newspaper

and not even its headlines, blurry television, bursts of color. The television is my radio now.

Supporters of Mumia Abu Jamal have marched over 100 miles,

ending at his prison today, to urge the state of Pennsylvania

to provide him with medical care needed to prevent him from permanently losing his vision.

We'll speak with one of the March organizers and one of Mumia Abu Jamal's attorneys.

All that and more coming up.
