Summary

Yes, it’s popular to lavish praise on the "Harriet" movie, but just because she is an American hero doesn’t mean Miller has to like the movie. If you want to honor Harriet Tubman, make a better movie! Then, Victor Dweck joins Jon Miller to discuss why it’s even called the Underground Railroad if there were no trains. Just kidding!

He previously worked for Fox News, TheBlaze, and Mercury Radio Arts. In his time in media, Jon has actively fought against leftist bias and attacks against black conservatives like himself. Raised in a non-political household that valued a strong work ethic and individual responsibility, Miller was first introduced to conservatism by reading Whittaker Chambers, Friedrich Hayek, Russell Kirk, William F. Buckley Jr., Barry Goldwater, and Edmund Burke. While attending Columbia University, he joined the College Republicans, but found them to be “too liberal” and then worked as an assistant for Glenn Beck at Fox News.

0:10.8

I would have gotten a bagel, okay? Now the biggest problem with the film, no one wants to say this, but she's not a good actress. Cynthia

Erevo, she's a lousy actress, she's a boar, and she probably is going to win some kind of Oscar
