YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn NIGHT SCHOOL with Marc Lamont Hill, Texas Democrats return after their dramatic redistricting walkout, vowing to take the fight to court as Gov. Abbott and Trump celebrate “ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL MAP.” We break down PragerU’s new partnership with the Trump White House, announced just as a controversial kids’ video downplaying slavery goes viral. Then, Drake’s defamation case against UMG heats up as he pushes for Kendrick Lamar’s unredacted contract and records tied to abuse allegations, blurring the line between legal discovery and PR warfare. Finally, the billion-dollar Uncle Nearest whiskey brand is thrown into turmoil after a $108 million loan dispute lands it in receivership, threatening one of the most successful Black-owned distilleries in U.S. history.
Marc connects the dots on how politics, culture, and business collide, and how the fight for power often comes down to who controls the story.
