Acknowledging how much the virus has changed everyone’s day-to-day lives, Phillips took a moment to recognize those who are working hard to keep America going during the crisis.

“The people on the front lines, the health care providers, thank God for them,” Phillips said. “So many folks keeping the trucks moving across the country and the supply chain going. … Those are such important jobs, always, but especially now.”

Despite the hardships imposed the by pandemic, Phillips ended by highlighting how people are coming together in extraordinary ways to help those who need it.
