Speaker 2: Serving a search warrant.
Speaker 0: On queue, deputy FBI director Dan Bongino posted on x, we have asked our team to fully investigate allegations of targeted violence against religious groups at the Seattle Concert. Freedom of religion isn't a suggestion.
Speaker 1: And we're just here not to ask for special treatment. I'm here to ask for ordinary treatment.
Speaker 0: Pastor Johnson is also threatening to sue the city for first amendment violations after the mayor implied he would deny Christians any future permits for concerts at certain city parks. Meanwhile, Antifa counter protesters outside the barricaded perimeter continue to cause chaos and target Christians trying to get into the rally. Look at this woman with her baby being accosted by the crowd and these people cornered and assaulted by the mob. Journalist Katie Davis Court was chased by militants before police intervened.

Speaker 1: it or pack my bags and head in the next direction.

Mayor Bruce Harrell called the Christian concert an extreme right-wing rally against the city's LGBTQ values and questioned the permit, drawing criticism. Assistant Attorney General Harmony Dillon stated that denying a permit to pray due to crowd reaction is a First Amendment violation.
Pastor Johnson condemned the mayor's remarks and is mobilizing evangelicals for a protest at City Hall, demanding an apology for victim blaming. Christians did not retaliate and were escorted out by police, viewing the persecution as energizing their faith and planning to pray harder for Seattle.

Speaker 0: Hundreds of Christian worshipers flooded Seattle's Cal Anderson Park Saturday afternoon to pray for the city and take a stand for traditional family values.
Speaker 1: You will not disrespect the blood of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 0: Especially against transgender ideology targeting children, all part of the Mayday USA revival movement sweeping across the nation. And the Lord says,
Speaker 1: sound the alarm. Sound the alarm. Lift up your voice.
Speaker 0: But a time of blessing and praise quickly devolved into chaos.
Speaker 1: Go Far
Speaker 0: left activists and antifa militants tried to disrupt the concert.
Speaker 2: Pushing cops, fighting, absolutely nothing really insane.
Speaker 0: Throwing water balloons at the crowd, menacing attendees, and some activists even tried rushing the stage.
Speaker 3: I would say there's two kingdoms clashing here today. There's the kingdom of God, and then there's the kingdom of of Satan.
Speaker 0: Which led to numerous clashes and scuffles with police.
Speaker 2: All these Antifa activists. Yeah. And then you got
Speaker 0: the concert going on here right now. What's it what's it been like today?
Speaker 2: And I think it just illustrates the the the idea that people who champion free speech and champion free expression are ultimately threatened and irritated by anybody else who has an opposing message.
Speaker 0: So Russell Johnson with Pursuit Church was one of several pastors from Seattle participating with their congregations.
Speaker 2: The mayor is trying to declare a state of emergency to shut down the event, but we're not going anywhere.
Speaker 0: He says some of his volunteers were assaulted during the melee.
Speaker 2: We've got people with bloody faces.
Speaker 0: That's his worship pastor, Michael Leidy, stopping a man from crashing the gathering.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely crazy. Help. Help. Help.
Speaker 0: As the day progressed, another group of trans activists marched into the park, adding to the number of people targeting followers of Jesus Christ with nasty messages. Filed curse words and full blown debauchery. But even with the taunting, middle fingers, and disparaging comments, Kellogg says prayers of love and forgiveness were sent to their attackers on the other side.
Speaker 3: Not only do we come here
Speaker 4: to show the love of God, but we hope that by the
Speaker 3: time we are done here, that the atmosphere in Seattle will change.
Speaker 5: We will be setting back up the fence line,
Speaker 1: and any counter protesters are going to be escorted back behind it.
Speaker 0: Officers eventually put up a metal barricade, separating the violent mob from concertgoers after more militants tried to breach the police line. When all was said and done, 23 people were hauled away in handcuffs, one officer injured, and a city left in desperate need of healing and leadership. Instead, mayor Bruce Harrell sent out a controversial statement that appeared to be more divisive, calling the Christian concert an extreme right wing rally that went against the LGBTQ values of the city. That one with green hair. Implying the peaceful worshipers brought this on themselves over the weekend.
Harrell also questioned questioned why a permit to use the park was issued to the group. I think they're gonna have changes. This got the attention of the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: This is the president's agenda.
Speaker 0: Assistant attorney general for civil rights, Harmony Dillon, wrote on x To deny a group a permit to pray in a public space because of crowd reaction is the classic heckler's veto, which is barred by the first amendment. Seattle's Mayor clearly needs an education in viewpoint discrimination.
Speaker 2: The mayor of Seattle owes Christians in Washington state an apology for his bigoted remarks.
Speaker 0: Pastor Johnson eviscerated the mayor during his Sunday sermon.
Speaker 2: Church people were assaulted, and the mayor of Seattle has the audacity to blame Christians for the violence.
Speaker 0: And is mobilizing hundreds of evangelicals for a protest in front of city hall on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not just us who've been assaulted. Cops have been beat up as well. Johnson
Speaker 0: says they're demanding an apology after Harrell victim blamed Christians.
Speaker 2: No. The police know because they see it on the front lines. Who are the real agitators?
Speaker 0: The pastor says it's also time to send a strong message to political leaders in Washington state who have failed to condemn far left violence for years. In the end, none of the Christians retaliated and were safely escorted out by police after the concert. Many saying the persecution energized their faith.
Speaker 2: Bible says this is gonna happen. You know? This is nothing new. It's something we're used to, and we just love the opportunity to love on them and share the gospel.
Speaker 0: And are now planning to pray even harder for Seattle.
Speaker 1: Everyone receives Jesus in a different way. Hoping
Speaker 0: to conquer hate with the love of Christ.

He's coming. He's protecting me like, wow.
Speaker 0: You're fine.
Speaker 1: You're fine. My boy. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He's protecting me because this guy's he he I don't even think he was looking when this happened.

He did not. Right? Nobody in our group did. I thought

I mean, not gonna touch you. Right? I'm not gonna come you away from you. Right? But this is me.

Right? Like, the idea was and I'm I think both of us, right, were thinking, like, well, he I don't think he was thinking at all. Right? Gerald was probably I don't even know if this is what. In my mind, I'm like, I wanna throw the hat.
You know, he's gonna pick it up. It's gonna be funny with me. Yada yada yada. I'm not gonna fuck this guy's fucking life up. Like, I'm not gonna fucking destroy his food or anything like that.

Kamelia Enzler, a 55-year-old woman, is making headlines after being charged with Malicious Mischief for keying a Tesla in Issaquah, WA. She is married to Jeff Enzler, a lead software engineer at DocuSign, and they live in a $1.5 million home in Bellevue. Despite the incident gaining viral attention, no local Seattle news outlets have reported on it, even after the Issaquah PD issued a press release confirming the details.

NEW: Tesla road rage suspect Kamelia Enzler is now making global headlines for all the wrong reasons. The 55 year-old is facing charges for Malicious Mischief in the Third Degree for keying the electric vehicle in Issaquah, WA last week. According to Daily Mail Online, she's married to Jeff Enzler, the lead software engineer at DocuSign. The couple lives in a $1.5million home in Bellevue and she owns a fitness company called IPEAK FITNESS. Btw, not a single Seattle area news outlet has picked up on this story even after Issaquah PD sent out a press release corroborating my reporting. I wonder why?

Enzler lives in Bellevue, which is only a 10 minute drive from the location of this incident. Several neighbors spotted her now infamous white Toyota 4Runner in the driveway with the matching license plate and bike rack. The Internet wins again. https://t.co/OuvSS81g5U

As for the actual Tesla owners, they want to remain anonymous. With that said, always follow up. Issaquah PD initially said the owners DID NOT file a police report. That did muddy the waters and implied to some that something was off with my reporting. But now cops say a report was filed right after the incident. Apparently wires got crossed. Without the viral video, there is a chance this does not get solved. Once again, I stand by all my reporting.
@choeshow - Jonathan Choe
As for the reason behind this keying incident, I don't think anyone really knows what was going on inside Enzler's head that day. But cops say this was not politically motivated since Enzler did not say anything related to hating Trump, Tesla, or Musk. PD says it was just road rage.

Seattle activists marched to the police guild HQ, but the building was empty. Residents criticized them for disrupting traffic and distorting the truth about the police. While acknowledging the need for accountability, they also appreciate the majority of officers who risk their lives daily. The activists were called out for using ChinatownID as a backdrop, and community members defended the neighborhood. The marchers exploited a tragic incident to push their defunding agenda. Seattle media ignored the far-left insanity. A truck driver who honked at protesters blocking traffic was praised. The activists' constant hijacking of causes was questioned.
@choeshow - Jonathan Choe Journalist (Seattle)
SEATTLE IS WAKING UP: On Saturday, the usual fringe group of FAR-LEFT activists along with ANTIFA militants marched to Seattle Police Officers Guild HQ to air out their grievances against the agency. The building was empty, so they were basically yelling into the air and pounding sand. Along the way, something unusual happened. Neighbors, business owners, and motorists blasted the marchers for holding up traffic and twisting the truth about police. The reasonable people of Seattle know SPD is not perfect and the bad apples need to be held accountable. Trust must also be rebuilt. But the community also knows the vast majority of officers do an incredible job each day, putting their lives on the line for others. And the reality is, being down more than 600 officers has contributed to the lawlessness in the city. The activists also got called out for using Chinatown-ID as a backdrop. If you recall during the height of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, ANTIFA marched through the CID and trashed Asian immigrant owned businesses. Afterwards, Councilmember Tammy Morales(@CMTammyMorales, @TammyMoralesSEA) endorsed looting and destruction. That's why over the weekend, multiple community volunteers were on standby to defend the neighborhood and throw down. The protesters should be counting their blessings nothing happened to them. As usual, some of the green haired white kids started accosting me, and tried to prevent me from reporting what was actually happening on the ground. But they were in my CID hood. The moment these nut jobs wearing ninja outfits chased me down the street, several guys in the community came out to defend me. Finally, the marchers also got called out for using the name of Jaahnavi Kandula to further their failed "defund the police" agenda. Kandula was the young student tragically killed by a police cruiser speeding to an emergency call earlier this year. Once again, the reasonable people of this city are patiently waiting for all investigations to play out. They also know the controversies related to this incident are not representative of every SPD officer. On a side note, none of the other Seattle media outlets mentioned the FAR-LEFT insanity at this rally. And they certainly did not feature the voices of the reasonable people of Seattle who are now tired of this Marxist/Socialist/Commie nonsense. All politicians should take note, hitching your wagon to this lunacy is now a massive liability. Stop the virtue signaling, just show up and serve your community. *Btw, that SDOT truck driver is a hero for blasting his horn at the protesters blocking traffic. They're the same activist crew associated with Stop The Sweeps Seattle. l also want to give a shout out to my man who advised these kids to go, "lay the fuck down and play some Fortnite or some shit." And fair question, why is there always a pride flag being flown at these FAR LEFT anti-cop rallies? Whatever happened to all their Black Lives Matter flags? It's like they always hijack someone else's cause to further their agenda. #Seattle #KingCounty #Police #Crime #Antifa #Protest @mayorofseattle @govinslee @kcexec @seattlecouncil @kccouncil @cmsaranelson @CMTMosqueda @cmdanstrauss @cmandrewjlewis @cmkshama @lisa_herbold @seattlepd @SPOG1952 @downtownseattle @VisitSeattle @SeattleChamber
