The band was joined onstage by a chorus of multi-ethnic people dressed like refugees, Busta Rhymes, and Consequence. For his part, Busta called Donald Trump “President Agent Orange.”

Anderson .Paak’s “xxx” was cut into the performance, showcasing the young artist doing his Phil Collins/Don Henley take, as he simultaneously sang and played drums.
