colbert. good evening, reverend sharpton. always good to see. i ve been keeping abreast of your activities this week, and want to applaud you for your protest with respect to the pushback that we are facing around d.c. and i efforts across the country. but i do have a quick question for you. for a policy measure, what s it gonna take for us to actually move the needle and finally keep dni from having the attacks that it s currently facing? i think we must make cities, municipalities, states and others, say that the a.i. must be enacted if people are gonna get state city contracts are funds. these businessmen, when we picketed on thursday, i ll do business in the public space. they cannot do public space business with taxpayer dollars if they re not trying to make it an equal place for all. so we need to have politicians putting legislation and policy in place to protect dei. well, that protection doesn t start without any pressure. and so with that, reverend sharpton, t
