Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everyone. Time now for the Lemon Cohen Report with Don Lemon and Michael Cohen. Before we get started, before I even let him say hello, I want you to hit the like and the thumbs up and the hearts or whatever it is on any platform that you are watching us on. to follow us, to follow Michael Cohen on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Substack, all of the platforms, okay?
And support independent journalists and independent media. Right on, Michael Cohen. Good to see you, Nate. Good to see you. You know a little bit, a lot about this, I should say, sadly. And that's about First Amendment rights.
And I'm wondering where this country is going to, not only First Amendment rights, but due process and what they seem to be more emboldened now that this woman was shot, after this woman being shot and killed.
Yeah. So as I say in all of my platforms as well, and thank you for mentioning them, every single one of them, say her name. We cannot afford to allow her name to just dissipate like we've seen so many of Trump's chaotic nonsense, right? Renee Nicole Good. This was a mom. This was a friend, a neighbor, a U.S. citizen who was sitting in her truck
shot three times, literally for the sole purpose of what? Stifling her First Amendment rights? She's not an agitator. She's not a far leftist, you know, insurrectionist. What was she? She was somebody who was voicing her opinion about not wanting ICE in Minnesota. That's all that she was doing, and that cost her her life.
And yeah, sadly, Don, and you and I have had off-camera, off-the-record conversations about what went on in my life as a result of my desire to publish my first book, which was called Disloyal.
It ended up resulting in my reincarceration, additional time in solitary confinement, another 15 days, bringing it up to 51 days of fucking torture until ultimately my lawyer, Donya Perry, a brilliant lawyer,
brilliant attorney turned around and she filed on my behalf a habeas corpus petition and fortunately it was before a judge that many of you will now recognize the name judge alvin k hellerstein he's a judge that has just been uh assigned to another um you know to another case um He determined that it was retaliation because I wanted to exercise my First Amendment right.
And one of the things that I've always said, and I wrote my second book, Revenge On It, when you weaponize the Department of Justice, There is no boundary that they cannot violate. And that's exactly what they're doing right now. Because you're right, Don, they're not acknowledging the mistake.

Chapter 2: How are ICE raids affecting citizens' rights?
Well, I could say right here, Michael, that it feels dangerous to me that I'm an imminent danger from Michael Cohen and then do something to you. And then what does that do? What does that mean? He was not an imminent danger. And first of all, he was not following protocol. Anyway, I don't want to just keep rehashing that.
But every time I look at a video and I look, I was like, that man was not in front of the car. That man is shooting those shots and he's not in front of the car. That is a damn lie. And now they're out here raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for him.
By the way, protocol, by the way, does not mean that the ICE agent stands in front of a car in order to stop a vehicle.
Their training says they're not supposed to do that, Michael.
Exactly. Training says the exact opposite. You secure your environment first, ensuring that you do not put yourself and others in jeopardy. First and foremost, he shot through the driver's side lower portion of the windshield, my understanding striking her in the shoulder.
With that, when he stepped back and she continued on that right path between the agent and the vehicle that was on the side of the street, He opened fire literally at point blank range into an open window, the open driver's side window, striking her twice in the face. All right. This is not protocol. No matter how you I don't care if you're a MAGA.
I don't care if you're if you're Republican, Democrat, independent. I don't care. This is not protocol. This is not proper. This is absolutely despicable. And the worst part, the worst part is I don't think that there's going to be any accountability for these actions. So a woman loses her life.
A mom, the youngest kid, I think, what, six or eight years old, not only lost the father, but now lost the mother. This is beyond horrific. And this is all about wanting to exercise. And I want to bring it. I'm going to do, I hate to use his word. I'm going to do the weave. All right. This is all about the first amendment.
And I warned everyone that if they can do something like that to me, imagine what they can do to you.

Chapter 3: What incident sparked the conversation about constitutional protections?
Everybody has a cell phone. And if you have a cell phone, you have a camera. If you have a camera, you have a video recording device. There are so many recordings of this tragic incident, of this murder. There are so many. Right before when the conversation first was starting, when John Ross, the ICE agent, approached the car, Renee Nicole Good was smiling. She was laughing. Showed him her hands.
There was no apprehension of fear or imminent danger that John Ross could have possibly, possibly thought that he was in. she backed up to ensure that she didn't hit anyone so that she would have the right line within which to leave as they started to grab her door. There is not a single action by John Ross or those that were standing around him that matches up to protocol.
And yes, again, right back to the First Amendment, She was there protesting at most. She had just dropped off her son at school. So what? She was protesting. Just because you don't like what somebody's saying doesn't mean you get to shoot him in the face.
Right on. Right on. And again, this is about the Constitution, as we pointed out from the very beginning of this. This is about the Constitution, and it's about the First Amendment. You may not like it. Donald Trump is out there saying, well, she was an agitator. She was paid. She was all this. And we don't know if any of that is true. By the way, I'm so sorry.
What if she was? What if she was? That's the wholeāwhat if she was? Keep on, brother. What if she was?
Go ahead. No, seriously, what if she was? That doesn't matter. The Constitution doesn't say that you can't exercise your First Amendment. You can only exercise your First Amendment if you're not getting paid. It's like, okay, maybe some people support her. And the weird thing, here's the very weird thing. They're saying that they're paid and no one has talked about this.
I don't think anyone has picked up on it. They're being paid by someone or paid by the public. What do you think a GoFundMe campaign is for the shooter here, for the killer here? What do you think that is? Isn't that being given funds? Aren't the public giving him funds? Isn't that having public support and being paid by the public? If you are actually soliciting and getting money
from people you don't know?
Who are these horrible people, Don, that are willing to support someone for shooting a woman in the face, violating all of our constitutional rights? You see, that's where these dummies don't seem to understand. This book right here, The Constitution, I keep it by me all the time. The Constitution isn't for Democrats, Republicans, or there you go. Yours is nicer than mine, right?
