Hey there, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you. Welcome to Rebel Roundup. Well,
00:00:19.840
actually, it's a special edition of Rebel Roundup. You know, this time of year reminds
00:00:24.040
me of a Stephen King novel, you know, the dead zone. I mean, we're between Christmas and
00:00:31.040
New Year's, and you know what? Nobody's around. Nobody answers their phones or their emails
00:00:36.720
or returns a text, so there's no guests to interview. So it's just little old me in the
00:00:41.800
studio with Mr. Producer, and we said, what can we do to provide content? Well, we'll
00:00:46.840
go old school like the networks used to do. We'll air repeats. So I plucked two of my favorite
00:00:53.680
videos from the calendar year of 2019. And I think these are good videos, folks, in terms
00:01:02.360
of it shows you the lengths will go at the Rebel to chase down a story. And it also indicates,
00:01:10.400
I think, a type of journalism you just won't see anywhere else in Canada. I think these are
00:01:15.940
the kind of videos that make you want to watch Rebel News and become a premium subscriber.
00:01:23.220
That would be great. So the first one is my infamous August trip out to Lotusland. Yes,
00:01:30.040
when I went to British Columbia to track down Jessica, aka Jonathan Yaniv. You know the story.
00:01:37.200
He was the one using the BC Human Rights Tribunal to persecute a woman who wouldn't wax his male
00:01:46.640
genital genitalia. I wanted to get his side of the story. And lo and behold, I sure got more than I
00:01:54.720
bargained for when Jonathan and his mama came out to greet me.
00:01:59.880
I'm sure most people by now are familiar with that professional fake victim, Jonathan, aka Jessica
00:02:15.040
Yaniv. He's the dude who has filed more than a dozen complaints with the BC Human Rights Tribunal.
00:02:22.040
He has gone after women who offer waxing services to other females, demanding that he be treated as a
00:02:30.000
woman, even though he's still equipped with male genitalia. His case is that he's being discriminated
00:02:38.000
against. He is the victim, you see, and he wants to be financially compensated by taxpayers for his
00:02:45.860
victimhood. Speaking of which, Jonathan also likes getting around town on publicly funded transit rides
00:02:52.820
for the disabled. Sometimes he's even buzzing about in a mobility scooter, even though he's being caught
00:03:00.000
on video running like someone taking part in the 100 meter dash. What's the deal with that?
00:03:08.280
So I visited Vancouver recently to try and get some answers. I should point out that Yaniv is now very
00:03:15.300
much a public person, most recently taking to social media, to bemoan the fact that he couldn't go
00:03:22.260
swimming the other day because he was on his period. No, seriously, he actually said that. In any event,
00:03:30.920
we feel that our questions to him are very much in the public interest. We're not harassing him any more
00:03:37.820
than journalists asking politicians questions are engaging in any kind of harassment. In the
00:03:45.280
video you're about to watch, please note that I never entered into his condominium lobby, but rather
00:03:51.900
remained outside in the common area. You will also see Jonathan swearing and threatening me,
00:03:58.640
and ultimately, physically assaulting me, merely for practicing journalism. But don't take my word for it.
00:04:10.060
Oh, hey, Jonathan Yaniv. Jonathan Yaniv, right? I'm David Menzies from The Rebel.
00:04:17.000
I noticed... Are you faking being disabled as much as you're faking being a woman?
00:04:23.480
Were you sexually molested as a child? All of a sudden, you're breaking into a trot.
00:04:31.900
I thought you needed a mobility scooter. Jonathan, why do you go after immigrant women?
00:04:38.140
Go away now or you will be smacked. Go away now.
00:04:49.280
Is it because you're a bully? They don't know how to game the system like you?
00:04:52.620
Go away. Go away. Go. You're on private property now.
00:04:58.240
This is a common area. This is my property too. Go away.
00:05:03.620
So tell me, why is it that you're going after an immigrant woman?
00:05:36.880
I thought that across the street was your condo.
00:06:06.960
Jonathan, why do you send sexually explicit messages to minors?
00:06:14.800
I should note that for a few minutes, I patiently waited outside the condo, hoping Jonathan would
00:06:30.820
He just swung his cane around and yelled profanity.
00:06:33.520
Then he went up to his fourth floor condo unit and began yelling at me from the window.
00:06:40.660
Now, I've never engaged in an interview, if you can call it that, in which I interviewed a subject separated by four stories.
00:06:48.780
But the point is, both Jonathan and Mama Yaniv were literally home free.
00:07:02.060
Just as I was preparing to leave, Mama Yaniv came out of the condo to engage me.
00:07:13.120
Like a raging bull, he came charging back into the fray, this time in a truly violent fashion.
00:07:26.780
Oh, I thought we had freedom of speech in this country.
00:08:24.160
Why do you send sexually expressive messages to young girls?
00:09:19.020
Okay, you have mackle beat twice with your cane.
00:09:23.120
You're lucky I don't beat up girls or fake girls.
00:09:48.180
Please, I'm really hoping for the cops to come.
00:10:02.220
See, I can take your physical blows, you fake woman.
00:10:08.120
What about all these immigrant women that he polarizes with me?
00:10:27.980
A little after this one-sided Donnybrook ended, the RCMP arrived, three police cruisers, no
00:10:37.040
Par for the course, Jonathan Yaniv played the victim card yet again, claiming he was the
00:10:43.680
one assaulted and demanding that police call him an ambulance.
00:10:48.120
Anyway, here's some of the interaction with the police.
00:10:52.500
Officer, he has smashed me with his cane at least five times.
00:11:00.820
Um, this is a person, um, if you Google his or her name, Jessica.
00:11:09.500
We're finding out why this person is brandishing prohibited weapons.
00:11:13.160
I think your department, uh, actually charged him or her with that.
00:11:17.220
Um, why he's sending explicit messages to minor girls, why he's clearly gaming the system.
00:11:25.000
Uh, he supposedly needs mobility rides, but he was smashing that cane over my head like
00:11:31.660
And, um, yeah, we're, I'm just practicing journalism.
00:11:37.300
I guess this, cause we, I just pulled up and I see that kind of a little, yes, sir.
00:11:41.080
I, uh, Donnybrook, whatever you want to call it here.
00:11:43.260
I followed him to the building and, um, he shut the door.
00:11:49.240
I stayed in this common area and, um, I wanted to talk to him and I wanted to ask him several
00:11:57.740
I have it on foot, uh, the footage of it, sir, and I can show it to you.
00:12:02.460
Does it surprise anyone the level of fakery Jonathan Yaniv will stoop to if the British
00:12:09.680
Columbia human rights tribunal had a scintilla of decency, it would tell Jonathan Yaniv to
00:12:19.220
Instead, this kangaroo court is accommodating him and enabling him, making Canada a laughing
00:12:30.740
For the rebel.media, I'm David, the menzoid menzies.
00:12:34.360
You know, I might be chuckling, uh, folks, but believe me, sometimes inside I'm crying.
00:12:44.380
Now, the second one, I don't know if you were to have a D bag of the year contest, certainly
00:12:52.520
I think the strong runner up for the crown would be the notorious Jordan Hunt.
00:12:59.060
You know, Jordan Hunt, he's the guy that when he sees a woman holding a pro-life sign, he
00:13:05.720
responds, like Jonathan Yaniv responds, with physical violence.
00:13:14.660
We were, in fact, the only media covering his court case after, uh, one of the assaults
00:13:20.260
that, uh, Jordan Hunt did carry out and did get convicted for.
00:13:23.660
And, of course, there was a publication ban, which is a problem these days with the Canadian
00:13:29.660
courts in terms of telling you, um, what is actually happening.
00:13:34.240
And it's getting more and more prevalent, unfortunately.
00:13:36.640
But there's nothing stopping us from telling the story outside the court.
00:13:42.380
So we just waited around for Jordan Hunt to come outside the courthouse at Old City Hall
00:13:52.820
Well, we're back at Toronto Old City Hall to cover the latest in the pre-trial hearings
00:14:00.020
Now, in case Jordan Hunt doesn't ring a bell, folks, that's the, uh, individual who likes
00:14:06.700
to go around to women at anti-abortion rallies.
00:14:10.480
And he either kicks them or he pushes them, allegedly, into a live lane of traffic.
00:14:17.020
And, uh, if you need a reminder, well, uh, here's the highlight reel.
00:14:21.940
Actually, it's a lowlight reel of Jordan Hunt in action.
00:14:25.220
If somebody gets raped by somebody and they're like,
00:14:37.980
If someone is raped and she gave birth and she decided to kill her three-year-old child.
00:14:55.460
If you are going to walk out into the world and harass people, then you get harassed back.
00:15:05.980
Yeah, I try to knock your stupid billboard on a sign.
00:15:09.100
So if you don't want me to f*** with your stuff, why are you deciding to f*** with other people's choices?
00:15:14.760
Now, the thing is, there is, believe it or not, a publication ban regarding everything that is said in the courtroom about Jordan Hunt's trial.
00:15:24.980
However, a publication ban doesn't preclude us from asking Mr. Hunt questions once he gets outside in public.
00:15:34.800
And another thing, I really want to find out if he's showing any contrition, if he has any empathy for his victims,
00:15:43.620
and if he's going to actually man up and deliver an apology to the woman he kicked, Marie-Claire Bissonette.
00:15:49.840
So let's see what happens when Jordan Hunt comes out of this courtroom.
00:15:55.240
Jordan Hunt, do you have any words to say to Marie-Claire Bissonette?
00:15:58.980
Well, not quite a roundhouse kick, but what kind of an assault was that?
00:16:13.440
Jordan, it doesn't seem that you're very tough when a man is asking you questions.
00:16:23.460
By the way, how come your hair isn't purple and you don't have a flower anymore there?
00:16:27.540
How come you have to use cameras like these to record?
00:16:30.780
How come you, did the budget end at like the cheap suit?
00:16:37.080
Well, you know, I mean, you're very touchy-feely, but why is it that you like to assault women so much?
00:16:58.040
You know, Jordan, there are many viewers on our website that would like to challenge you to a boxing match.
00:17:10.960
Jordan, what do you think of your new nickname, Cuck Norris?
00:17:30.180
My grandfather fought the Nazis for five years in the Second World War.
00:17:33.600
By the way, speaking of family, what does your family think of you kicking women and pushing women into traffic?
00:17:42.660
Do you have any family, or have they disowned you?
00:17:57.060
As long as you just admitted and you know that you are harassing me.
00:18:06.760
You threw some sort of confetti in my face and then started touching my...
00:18:15.740
Have you ever used a smoke bomb on a defenseless woman?
00:18:28.320
You will not apologize to these women, will you?
00:18:37.360
If I'm not real, I guess you can just pretend I'm your shadow and you can say whatever you want then.
00:18:46.460
So you're concerned about me harassing you, but you kicked a woman.
00:18:50.520
And you threw a woman into a live lane of traffic.
00:19:01.360
Do you think that people went to another planet and people are actually blue?
00:19:17.360
Don't you have any words of apology for what you did?
00:19:20.260
We saw you on camera when you did that little whining I meant to kick your camera.
00:19:38.760
We're happy to walk with you since we're not real, but I just want to see if you have...
00:19:46.420
Can you man up and apologize to Marie Claire Bissonette?
00:19:49.900
If she wants to sit down with me and have that conversation, she can.
00:20:01.820
Did you or did you not kick Marie Claire Bissonette?
00:20:20.640
I think we found the first example so far today of the pot calling the kettle black.
00:20:25.160
I always try to walk away first, and I'm trying that now.
00:20:30.220
But you didn't walk away at the abortion protest, did you?
00:20:32.980
No, somebody ran up behind me and started in on me, so yeah.
00:20:45.700
You did a roundhouse kick right into the torso of a woman, and then you claim you meant to hit her camera.
00:20:57.320
Like I said, I'm not having this discussion with you.
00:21:01.900
There's a federal leader who calls himself a feminist who also has trouble with strong women.
00:21:35.560
I know you like to make points with violence, but I'm right here.
00:22:04.140
I don't think there's any more point in talking to him.
00:22:08.300
When are you going to get back to me with this match?
00:22:18.860
I think he's either saying I'm number one or give me the finger.
00:22:26.720
Anyways, well, folks, that's once again Jordan Hunt.
00:22:31.320
We tried to get him on camera to at least offer an apology for the heinous things he has done.
00:22:41.500
There is absolutely no empathy for his victims.
00:22:44.760
But he's back in court April 24th, 9 a.m., courtroom 111, if anyone's in the Toronto area and wants to take in the latest appearance of Jordan Hunt.
00:22:54.540
And we'll be there and we'll see what happens that day.
00:23:02.480
Anyways, folks, those were two of my favourites for 2019.
00:23:08.520
I'm sure there is more fun and frivolity to come in 2020 as we bid adieu to this decade.
00:23:15.440
Thank you so much for tuning in to Rebel Roundup.
00:23:18.300
Always enjoy getting your feedback, by the way.
00:23:21.600
And never forget, folks, without risk, there can be no glory.
