Speaker 1 (00:00):
What a blasts from the past. Remember this Marlena on
Fox with Tucker.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Authorities in Michigan, the governor and the attorney general. We're
trying to send her to jail for running her business.
And she warned us that Americans need to fight against
authoritarianism like this, where the United States will come to
resemble the country she fled decades ago, communist Poland.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We the people, small business owners, like I told you,
we have to fight and I will fight for freedom
for American people. And I encourage everyone, business owners, other
people stand up and fight for your freedom before it's
gonna be taken away.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
She's seen it herself up close and personal, and we
talk with her during those days. Now we find ourselves
back with Marlena, who was on the other side of
the table essentially this week in Lansing, trying to bring
a little accountability, holding the feet to the fire of
the phone that were responsible for all this mess. And
Marlena joins us now and Marline, appreciate you being here
(01:05):
with us. How are you, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Good morning, Justin. Thanks for having me on your show.
I really appreciate and God bless you for what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh you too. Marlene, And you know, God bless you.
You've been through the ringer, and I know that you've
been stood strong, not just for yourself in your business,
but for other folks as well, because you've seen the
other side of this, You saw how it worked all
those years ago, and then of course you know, now
we're starting to get a little bit of accountability. How
(01:35):
do you how do you feel watching some of this
play out in this in this committee, and of course
maybe hopeful that we're gonna we're gonna see some of
that happen.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Well, I'm grateful that we have a politician that's willing
to take the action to hold the government accountable for
what they have done. I would like to know what
authority the government have to strip us from our anailable
god given rights, constitutional protected rights with the people. We
(02:07):
have their right to be protected and their Fourth Amendment.
We have the right to leave happy life, provide for
our family, and do what is right. I understand everyone
he's got his opinion, and everyone is in control of
his body and mind, and every individual held is people responsibility,
(02:28):
not the government. They may be sent as suggestions and guidelines,
but what they did to us doing COVID is unacceptable.
They create manday that they don't even follow them, but
they force upon us with the people. So this is outrage.
(02:50):
I never see that somebody will do such a thing,
is common sense. So I was charged in jail, But
how come government witchmer She never went to jail, that
she didn't follow her own Mondays and the establishment she was.
They never have to pay any peace and pace what
(03:13):
I pay. So I demand justice, justice for all of us,
for all those businesses who lost them, business for loved
ones that they could not go see, and so many
other things. So I'm praying to God that justice will
be served because we the people, we have the power,
and the politicians are a servant government supposed to uphold
(03:38):
the office and protect our constitutional protected rights, not strip
them and take our freedom away.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Marlena is Marlena Hackney. Of course Marlena's Bistro and Holland
and back yesterday or this week in the oversight committee,
I want to talk to Angela Riguez represented Rigan invited
carl and of course Marilena. But why don't we got
to go back. They came to your house and they
arrested you. They picked you up early morning hours. This
(04:10):
this whole thing was like right out of a history book.
How horrifying it or was, and what you had to
go through during this process. I don't think people realize.
I don't think they remember. Wasn't this right before you
were supposed to go on Tucker?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yes, absolutely, and this was all all navigate under Dana Nessel,
Attorney General. If you're gonna order you Freedom Information Act,
which the organization from mcinnoc Island they reach out and
they were the one who brought this in the daylight
(04:47):
so people they can see what's going on, how the
government operate. She gives the rect order to come and
arrest me. The state police refused because they told them
that this is Svidio matter and we will not participate.
We will only do if Dana Nasal, Attorney General will
give direct order. And sure enough she demands from them
(05:10):
to come and arrest me before I will appear on
card stack and show. She also demands from the judge
which she don't follow the your restrictions and I'll have
to go to Inham County Circle Court. She demands from
the judge to give me the highest penalty that I
can get the most time in jail I can have
(05:30):
who will do such a thing. Don't we have a
justice system that they will should follow the true process
of law and procedure and see what is all about
and they decide not Dana Nassal, Attorney General is gonna
tell them and dictate how they're gonna treat me. So
(05:51):
you see the power of the government. What she's using
is wrong and she should be held accountable. Also called
the lies that she comes on public television and told
them that this was traffic stop, which wasn't traffic stop.
She sent nine police cars to come and arrest me.
(06:12):
Three waiting in my establishment of business. Five was around
my house which was unmarked cars and that's why when
they follow me and I decided to go back. They
have so many cars. I' make safety and I was
arrested in the front of my house. But she lied.
She says that I was arrested traffic stop and one
(06:35):
sixty Bulvar and Lake Bulvar and one sixty which is
wrong and light and they premeditate if you will reach Foya,
what's gonna be They're gonna go on national TV. She
also requests to have cameras and dash camera and the
police because she would like to expose what happened to me.
(06:56):
But when I request requests from the state police to
give me those vidows, they tell me, I'm sorry, you
cannot receive them because this is classified information. Because things
didn't go I have my phone which I recurring productions,
and the trooper who come and arrest me wasn't from
(07:17):
my county. I live in Ottawa County. My business is
Elegant County. Both sheriffs refused to come and arrest me.
They say, we will not arrest her, but they will
not go against in a nessle of enforcement. If they
will send me, which they can stop the arrest. But
(07:38):
they didn't do it. But still praise God, both shriffs
that they didn't come and arrest me. But also they
don't follow the jurisdictions. Every citizen have protection. You've got
to be prosecuted in a county you are. She didn't follow.
She took me two countess away to prosecute me because
(08:02):
she's got all those judges lined up to go after
me and don't follow the due process of law. Just
do whatever they've been told to keep me in jail,
to give me the highest penalty that they can do.
But I'm grateful to God, because God is from the
control that is always with me, that protect me from
(08:24):
the day one until now. So God bless I have
a faith unbeliever, and I know justice will be served.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
We're going to continue to pray for you and pray
that justice would be served. But I am so glad
to hear you say and share your faith in the
story because I know everyone that I've talked to from
the last several years and have gone through the things
that you've gone through and fought so hard and stood
(08:53):
up in whatever case it might be. You know, it's
always there's always a bit of faith. There's always that
bit of that that is something bigger than themselves that
they're standing up and fighting for and inspired by.
