IThu, 12 Mar 2026 17:37:31 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/121920Alright, let’s talk about the president nobody remembers, before he even becomes president. In this episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric introduce you to Millard Fillmore: born poor, raised rough, powered entirely by grit, spite, and an unhealthy love of rules. This is Fillmore’s origin story. Frontier childhood, child labor, self-education, law school by vibes, and a political rise fueled not by charisma but by competence. He’s a Whig’s Whig: anti-Jackson, pro-Congress, deeply suspicious of loud executives, and convinced that if the republic collapses it’ll be because people stopped reading the fine print. No presidency yet. No Compromise of 1850 chaos. Just a man who did everything right, believed way too hard in institutions, and still ended up as a historical shrug emoji.
