Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

- Export taxes disrupting US supply chains eg pharma
- Exclude US firms from European procurement, inc defence
