    "The proceeds will support our - yes, one hundred percent of the proceeds will support our - efforts to protect endangered species"

    Explanation:

    The dash is used to show a change in focus, structure or to indicate a short digression within a sentence.

    In this particular sentence it is used to do exactly that as the speaker digressed a bit from his statement and later came back on track, so the dash is used to show where he digressed.
