3:33Now PlayingIn this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill sounds the alarm on a dangerous digital surveillance scheme quietly unfolding under Trump’s watch. Hill breaks down how Peter Thiel’s shady tech firm Palantir, best known for helping ICE hunt down immigrants, is now building a massive database on every American, linking personal info from the IRS, Social Security, Medicare, and military records into a single digital file.
This plan, cooked up through Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, is backed by billionaires Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, and fueled by Musk’s AI tool Grok, now being used to mine government data. Behind the scenes, Palantir has already secured nearly a billion dollars in defense contracts, and lawsuits are just starting to roll in from privacy watchdogs, labor groups, and civil rights orgs.
Hill raises critical questions: Is this really about “efficiency”? Or is it a digital weapon aimed at dissent, immigrants, and the vulnerable? And with Congress dragging its feet, is it already too late to stop it?
