man approached me and he said that he saw the show he was deeply deeply moved and then he handed this ribbon to me and told me that he was a survivor of the Orlando shooting a pulse night problem and then it really hit home for me the levity of this moment where we are right now and I don't want us to ever forget that we've made along we've made a lot of strides a lot of changes and everything but there's still so much work to do so let's keep this moment all this love in reviewing

right now in our hearts let's take this with us every single day moving forward right I'd like to dedicate this next song to all of those lovely souls who are no longer with us [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] with me [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] thank you [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the cause [Music] okay [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
