Jonathan Yaniv is back in court, and this time, it's in his own courtroom in front of his own hometown of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. And it's no longer called Jonathan Yaniv. It's now called Jessica Yaniv, and she's suing three of his previous victims.
00:04:03.800Yaniv is out for blood, suing his victims to pay him back the $2,000 each that the judge ruled Yaniv paid to each woman due to the conduct against him.
00:04:14.960It's hard to keep up. Yaniv, the changing names on paper, it really doesn't change the sort of individual predator Yaniv is.
00:04:24.160No matter how many times he changes his name, but that isn't what the appearance here today was about.
00:04:30.160This is going to be a long and crazy video with lots of twists and turns,
00:04:35.300but would you expect anything less when we're dealing with Jonathan Yaniv?
00:04:40.640If you'd like to see all of our coverage about Jonathan Yaniv and his reign of terror, please go to yanivetrial.com.
00:04:50.120Now, Yaniv was here today for not one, but two other reasons that showcase just how dangerous of an individual he is.
00:04:58.840The first appearance scheduled today in room 100 at 9 a.m. was to be for the assault against my colleague, Kian Bexty.
00:05:07.060Kian was simply reporting and asking a very simple question from a distance, I might add,
00:05:13.920and Yaniv trotted over and pummeled Kian right in the head in front of this very own courthouse in Surrey, B.C.
00:06:31.480If I was going to change my name, I would have come up with something, you know, a little bit more unique than Jessica Simpson and something that wasn't already taken.
00:06:42.680I mean, maybe is he hopeful that when anyone puts in the words Jessica Simpson in the search engine, expecting to see a woman and someone who is beautiful and someone who is talented, instead they get Jonathan Yaniv, who is neither of those three things.
00:07:03.040But, you know, what's more important, Drea, what I find fascinating is this idea that he is pursuing this litigation against these spa owners through a real court, not a kangaroo court, such as the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.
00:07:22.600Now, he already lost at the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.
00:07:26.460In fact, incredibly, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal actually awarded damages to the people he went after, and so they should.
00:07:35.960But the point is, Drea, the benchmark for the burden of proof and how a court operates, it's so much lower at a human rights tribunal.
00:08:39.000And, you know, he's really put on a bit of weight.
00:08:44.680I know a lot of us have been inactive because of the shutdown with the Wuhan virus, but I'm trying to think of this through the Jonathan Yaniv thought process.
00:08:55.600I mean, several months ago, he tweeted out that he couldn't go swimming on a certain day because he was experiencing his first menstrual cycle.
00:09:06.700I'm just wondering, is this guy crazy or is he just pretending to be crazy?
00:14:13.340And inside, one of the sheriffs said, no, Rebel News can be here and kind of put him in his place.
00:14:21.000So it was really nice, actually, to see them behave like that.
00:14:24.880And I don't know, maybe they watched the Rebel coverage and thought, yeah, we're going to act appropriately now.
00:14:32.600Yeah, maybe once they saw that we called their bluff that you're banning us for, as I said, regulation that doesn't exist.
00:14:38.920We're not going to bend the knee to that kind of nonsense.
00:14:40.920Well, Drea, I hope you'll be going back to the courtroom when the Yeneeves are back in.
00:14:45.400I think the vast majority of people, regardless of what politics you embrace, want to see justice enacted against this particular individual who is so odious.
00:14:57.680So thank you so much for covering this trial, and I look forward to your future reports.
00:15:09.520More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:15:12.080Disney is ready to de-woke its studio and purge themselves of social justice storylines, according to insiders.
00:15:23.420Disney, who owns Marvel, Star Wars, ABC, FX, and way more than that, is apparently done being woke due to declining movie sales, merchandise, and fan dissatisfaction.
00:15:34.200I don't want to play with you anymore.
00:15:36.920In its 2018 financial report, Disney reported revenue for their consumer products division was down 4% from 2018 to 2017, and down almost 16% from 2018 to 2016, which includes Star Wars and Marvel Comics and products.
00:15:53.240Executives don't want to leave any chances anymore, and they are going to focus on two things only, money and what the fans want.
00:16:00.220Now, if you're asking, why weren't those the focus all along?
00:16:03.360Well, the answer is obviously, shut up, you fascist.
00:16:06.300As reported by writer Matt McGloin, this news is from a reliable source who has broken news on leaks from everything from Star Trek movies and the well-documented saga of drama from Brie Larson, who plays Captain Marvel.
00:16:17.940She is very woke, if you guys didn't know.
00:16:20.120So woke, in fact, that she previously stated that she's so sick of being interviewed by white guys.
00:16:24.940The 100 highest-grossing movies in 2017 were white males.
00:16:30.980Less than a quarter were white women, and less than 10% were unrepresented men.
00:16:35.800Only 2.5% of those top critics were women of color.
00:16:41.740And as you can imagine, white guys make up a pretty large portion of Marvel fans, and they didn't find that as being, like, the coolest thing to say to them.
00:16:49.480Larson and other studio employees have been causing a lot of woke-related issues for the studio for a while now.
00:16:55.000Here's Captain Marvel herself saying that she regularly texts with Samuel L. Jackson about hating the people she works with on set.
00:17:01.220You and Sam Jackson have been traveling all over the world together.
00:20:04.500People are sick of the storylines that don't make any sense in the canon of the videos and of the storylines.
00:20:12.280So they're trying to take characters away.
00:20:13.640Now I've read that even Captain Marvel, they've gone as far as, and this is going to get pretty nerdy, but de-ranking her power.
00:20:20.520So they're making her no longer the most powerful superhero.
00:20:23.760They're making other more popular characters more powerful than her.
00:20:26.480Interestingly enough, just before we film this, the star of one of the Star Wars movies, John Boyega, he's the black guy who plays one of the stormtroopers.
00:20:37.520He has recently accused him of being racist and not knowing how to write a black character.
00:20:41.980So that's certainly going to bring a lot of joy to Disney's front offices, I think.
00:20:47.300Well, and you know, what I found fascinating in your piece, Andrew, is that it was Rian Johnson and John Boyega being unnecessarily harsh to their fan base.
00:20:58.760There was the term man babies being used.
00:21:01.980I mean, talk about the biting the hand that feeds.
00:21:07.820I think they got into this Hollywood echo chamber where they think this is the norm, and everybody talks this way, and everybody thinks this way.
00:21:14.760Captain Marvel herself, Brie Larson, also said that she doesn't want to be interviewed by more white people.
00:21:21.060Most Star Wars nerds and all Marvel nerds, I'm going to go ahead and say 75% of them are white guys, just population-wise in North America and the Western world.
00:21:30.340So I don't know why you would just go out and bash your fans like this.
00:21:34.020She was talking about how she talks to Samuel L. Jackson about hating her co-workers all the time.
00:21:39.340It was appalling, the feeling of entitlement.
00:21:42.340But you know, I mean, I'm a comic book reader from decades ago, and I'll be the first to say that traditionally, in yesterdecade, comics weren't too minority, diverse, if you will.
00:21:58.640Almost every character was a white male.
00:22:01.280And then there was this period, Andrew, in the 70s, where they kind of jumped the shark.
00:22:07.880They were introducing more black characters, which is good, but it was in an exploitive way.
00:22:21.540It's not Caucasian Daredevil and white Spider-Man, right?
00:22:24.660And now we're at a point where we're reimagining characters, traditional characters, instead of introducing new, diverse characters, which I think is the route to go.
00:22:38.420And to bring it full circle, Brie Larson, you had a clip of her making that speech where she was complaining about the number of visible minority women.
00:22:48.160One is, well, Brie, as a entitled rich white woman, why didn't you decline the role of Captain Marvel?
00:22:56.360And B, Captain Marvel, believe it or not, in the 80s, there was a brief period where that character was a black female.
00:23:02.660So, you know, why not lead by example instead of taking these mega million dollar contracts and then decrying how racist everyone else is?
00:23:12.500Well, this is how it goes. Even in colleges and universities in the United States when they're complaining that there's not enough diversity, the white kids, which is always white Democrats, they don't want to give up their, not my space.
00:23:24.720I'm not going to give up my privilege for this.
00:23:26.860We all have white privilege, but I'm not going to give up mine. That's crazy.
00:23:29.920It's the same thing with these actors.
00:23:31.240They get up in the award show ceremonies, they thank everybody, and they say, you know what, there's not enough diversity here.
00:24:06.100But, you know, even in the print product, and I mean, this kind of breaks my heart as an old comic book reader, is that once upon a time, and there's a great book called The Untold History of Marvel Comics.
00:24:17.160And there's a story about the writer was in hospital as a child in the early 70s, and the DC superhero comics that they left out for the kids were in mint condition.
00:24:29.040The Marvel comics were so tattered because they were being so read by the other kids in the hospital.
00:24:33.900Now, Disney looks upon comics almost as like sort of a burden, you know, and you can tell by the, for the most part, that they're horribly written and even horribly drawn.
00:24:48.820Really, the money is in the movies and the merchandise and the video games and so on.
00:24:52.780But, I mean, it just, you know, I'm not sure what point I'm making here, but other than the fact that the content, the root content, I should say, for all these megabillion movies is being neglected, A, and B, it's being done in a way, Andrew, where they turned Thor into a woman.
00:25:38.960From what I understand, they try to use the comic books now as a testing ground for new characters because that's where the hardcore fans are.
00:25:45.240And they come up with their stupid social justice characters a lot in there and then see how the hardcore fans like it.
00:25:52.180Now, when they do this, though, and when they change characters from black to white, let's say, or white to black, sorry, that's being more diverse.
00:26:01.260But if you do it the other way, it's cultural appropriation or it's whitewashing, like Mulan or any given character.
00:26:08.300I think it should be just stick to what the original story is unless it makes sense.
00:26:12.460If the race of the person doesn't matter to their story, then it shouldn't matter to viewers.
00:26:17.280But a lot of these stories have 30, 40, 50 years of backstory and to just immediately change.
00:26:24.020Like, if you just change Mulan, that's a good example.
00:26:27.140If you change Mulan to be a girl from West Hollywood, that doesn't make sense because she's Chinese.
00:26:32.400But the actor playing them, I don't think that should matter.
00:26:56.140They're saying, and at least the source material you referred to, is that this de-woking process is going to kick in primarily because, A, it's bad for business.
00:27:06.220And, B, the traditional fan base is not responding, which makes it even further bad for business.
00:27:11.780Do you think Disney is going to put its money where its mouth is?
00:27:15.600We're going to see a return to tradition and not be so politically correct with all their various properties ranging from Marvel to Star Wars.
00:27:25.720I think, well, first of all, the source that is used in that article, the guy himself is ridiculous.
00:28:00.940And the actions they took, all of a sudden, they're just light-speeding through other ships.
00:28:06.700Like, if that was possible, you've just ruined the whole movie for all of time because they could have just been doing that from the beginning.
00:28:12.140But are they going to keep going in the direction they're going to go?
00:28:14.900So I think they'll slowly turn it back.
00:28:16.460Like I said, these characters and these actors, you can't keep making fun of the fans.
00:31:28.380Gee, that Wuhan virus, he's such a smart cookie, isn't he?
00:31:33.520It can tell when you're standing or sitting and it takes umbrage apparently against those who dare to stand for whatever reason.
00:31:42.520Now, when the flight finally did touch down in Thunder Bay, I politely spoke with the flight attendant who made that announcement.
00:31:50.620I just wanted to know what difference does it make if a passenger is sitting or standing in what is essentially an immobile, hermetically sealed aluminum tube.
00:32:11.380There was an announcement not to stand up when we landed because of COVID-19, but I'm wondering in a packed airplane where we're sitting, how does it make any difference?
00:32:19.820It's just what the company tells us to say.
00:33:07.320Again, once you are confined to quarters in a very confined space like an aircraft, how does standing or sitting make any tangible difference?
00:33:24.000Is it just me, folks, or do you think the authorities are just pulling stuff out of their collective butts these days when it comes to the Wuhan virus rules?
00:33:32.080How else can you explain the Air Canada sitting-standing rule?
00:33:37.740In any event, here's what you had to say about a policy that seemingly makes no sense whatsoever.
00:34:21.640Or do you think that the Wuhan virus recognizes their uniforms and realizes that these folks are hard at work and therefore don't deserve to be infected?
00:34:34.900David, perhaps you could also mention that the Wuhan virus is also afraid to infect people whilst they are eating, drinking, exercising, or swimming.
00:34:44.400Indeed, and it also tends to give a pass to mass congregations of people attending things like Black Lives Matter protests.
