After 44 years in Washington, John Savercool, former UBS Senior Lobbyist and Head of the U.S. Office of Public Policy at UBS—offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how the gears of American politics are turning right now. In this episode, we discuss what Congress is focused on heading into the fall, and what the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) means for business owners now that it’s officially law. John also shares his take on Elon Musk’s call for a third party, updates on the Middle East and Ukraine, and the outlook for tariffs through year-end. With deep experience in both public service and the private sector, John brings thoughtful perspective to some of today’s most pressing policy questions.
