David Menzies revisits 2019’s BC Human Rights Tribunal case where Jonathan Yaniv (aka Jessica) weaponized a cane against him after five strikes, falsely claiming assault while using taxpayer-funded disabled transit despite video evidence of running. Yaniv’s mother dodged questions, and the tribunal’s handling fueled Menzies’ "kangaroo court" critique. In Toronto, he confronted Jordan Hunt—on trial April 24 for assaulting women at anti-abortion rallies—who denied accountability, mocked his journalism, and dismissed video-proven attacks like kicking Marie Claire Bissonet into traffic. Both cases underscore systemic failures: Yaniv’s legal weaponization of gender politics and Hunt’s unchecked extremism, proving Menzies’ point that real journalism demands confronting risks to expose uncomfortable truths.

Hey there ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you.
Welcome to Rebel Roundup.
Well actually it's a special edition of Rebel Roundup.
You know this time of year it reminds me of a Stephen King novel, you know, the Dead Zone.
I mean we're between Christmas and New Year's and you know what?
Nobody's around.
Nobody answers their phones or their emails or returns a text so there's no guests to interview.
So it's just little old me in the studio with Mr. Producer and we said what can we do to provide content?
Well we'll go old school like the networks used to do.
We'll air repeats.
So I plucked two of my favorite videos from the calendar year of 2019 and I think these are good videos folks in terms of it shows you the lengths we'll go at the Rebel to chase down a story and it also indicates I think a type of journalism you just won't see anywhere else in Canada.
I think these are the kind of videos that make you want to watch Rebel News and become a premium subscriber.
That would be great.
So the first one is my infamous August trip out to Lotus Land yes when I went to British Columbia to track down Jessica aka Jonathan Yaniv.
You know the story.
He was the one using the BC Human Rights Tribunal to persecute women who wouldn't wax his male genitalia.
I wanted to get his side of the story and lo and behold I sure got more than I bargained for when Jonathan and his mama came out to greet me.
I'm sure most people by now are familiar with that professional fake victim, Jonathan, aka Jessica Yaniv.
He's the dude who has filed more than a dozen complaints with the BC Human Rights Tribunal.
He has gone after women who offer waxing services to other females demanding that he be treated as a woman even though he's still equipped with male genitalia.
His case is that he's being discriminated against.
He is the victim you see and he wants to be financially compensated by taxpayers for his victimhood.
Speaking of which, Jonathan also likes getting around town on publicly funded transit rides for the disabled.
Sometimes he's even buzzing about in a mobility scooter, even though he's being caught on video running like someone taking part in the 100 meter dash.
What's the deal with that?
So I visited Vancouver recently to try and get some answers.
I should point out that Yaniv is now very much a public person, most recently taking to social media to bemoan the fact that he couldn't go swimming the other day because he was on his period.
No, seriously, he actually said that.
In any event, we feel that our questions to him are very much in the public interest.
We're not harassing him any more than journalists asking politicians questions are engaging in any kind of harassment.
In the video you're about to watch, please note that I never entered into his condominium lobby, but rather remained outside in the common area.
You will also see Jonathan swearing and threatening me.
And ultimately, physically assaulting me merely for practicing journalism.
But don't take my word for it.
Check out the video evidence.
Oh, hey, Jonathan Yannie.
Jonathan Yanniv, right?
I'm David Menzies from the Rebel.
I noticed.
Where are you going to beat me along, bitch?
Yeah, are you faking being disabled as much as you're faking being a woman?
Are you leaving me alone?
Were you sexually molested as a child?
No.
All of a sudden, you're breaking into a truck.
I thought you needed a mobility scooter.
Jonathan, why do you go after immigrants?
Go away now.
Or you will be smacked.
Go away.
Now, is that right?
Go away.
You're going to assault me?
Go away.
Huh?
Go away.
Why do you go after immigrant woman?
Is it because you're a bully?
They don't know how they game the system like you.
Go away.
Go away.
Go.
You're on private property now.
This is a small area.
Go away.
This is your property, too.
Go away.
So tell me, babe, why is it that you're going after an immigrant woman?
Come in.
Come in.
Get out.
This is a person scamming the system.
You're not calling 911 again, are you?
Thank you.
Get the fuck off my property.
This is your property?
I thought across the street was your condo.
You must be very wealthy.
Jonathan, what do you do for a living?
I have this stalker following me.
A stalker?
I called him yesterday.
These people are following me everywhere.
This guy will not leave me alone.
This guy will not leave me alone.
Jonathan, why do you send sexually explicit messages to minors?
Jonathan.
Have you?
I should note that for a few minutes, I patiently waited outside the condo, hoping Jonathan would consent to an interview.
That didn't happen.
He just swung his cane around and yelled profanity.
Then he went up to his fourth floor condo unit and began yelling at me from the window.
Now, I've never engaged in an interview, if you can call it that, in which I interviewed a subject separated by four stories.
But the point is, both Jonathan and Mama Yaniv were literally home-free.
They were indoors.
I was outside.
They could have ignored me.
But get this: just as I was preparing to leave, Mama Yaniv came out of the condo to engage me.
And it turned out Jonathan had left too.
Oh, but not to worry, like a raging bull, he came charging back into the fray, this time in a truly violent fashion.
Check it out.
Are you proud of him, ma'am?
Yes, they're coming.
You're not talking to anybody.
Oh, I thought we had freedom of speech in this country.
I can't.
Yes, but you cannot talk to anybody.
You can talk to me.
I'm not talking to anybody.
All right, I'll talk to you then.
Did you molest Jonathan as a boy?
No, I'm not talking to anybody.
I'm a little confused.
You said I can talk to you.
No, you're not talking to me.
Oh, there he is.
Hi, Jonathan.
No.
Hi.
Excuse me, ma'am.
No, you're not.
Oh, my goodness, he's running.
I'm not talking to anybody.
He's running.
No.
Where's the mobility scooter?
My mom is not fighting.
I am going to.
You're not going to go close to him.
Look.
I'm not.
Hey, hey, you're not going to go to the house.
Don't you touch me?
Don't you touch me.
You're not going to go close to him.
Get out.
Get away.
Don't you?
You better not, bro.
You better not.
You make contact.
You're going to go to jail.
You're going to.
I know.
Don't touch me.
You're going to dance.
Why do you think why do you send sexually expressed a message with the young girl?
Go away.
You hurt.
Go away.
My iPad.
Go away.
Go away.
What the fuck are you doing?
Go away.
Go away.
You just snatched your cane over my head.
Go away.
Don't touch me.
Go away.
Go away.
Now you're turning.
Look at this.
You people are ill.
Yes.
Go away.
Go away.
Why?
Because I'm talking?
Go away.
Because I'm talking.
Go away.
You go away.
Because I'm talking.
Go away.
Yes, I am.
Go away.
You go away.
Go away.
You're going to do it again?
You're going to do it again?
Come on, get another shot.
Go away.
Pick up my iPad.
Go away.
Go away.
Okay, that's a second shot.
Did you see that, sir?
Go away.
Go away.
I do.
Go.
That way.
That away.
Go.
This is a common parking lot.
Okay, you have macked me twice with your cane.
Go.
Get away.
You're lucky I don't beat up girls or fake girls.
Oh, now you too, eh?
Go away.
Go away.
You go away.
Get off the park.
Okay, that's four shots.
Hi.
You go away.
Go.
You go ahead.
Excuse me.
Get off.
Look, go away.
There's lots of eyewitnesses.
Go away.
Go away.
Go.
You are a provoker.
I'm a provoker.
Go away.
That's okay.
Please.
I'm really hoping for the cops to come.
No, no.
Go away.
Go in the house.
Go in the house.
Okay, that's good.
Give me a bruise.
Give me another bruise.
Fuck the police.
Why don't you?
See, I can take your physical blows, you fake woman.
But I'm not.
Yeah, I'm just nasty.
What about all these immigrant women that he polarizes with me?
Oh, a trump lover.
Nothing could be worse.
Excuse me.
Go away.
You know what?
I know.
You go away.
I know.
We have lots of eyewitnesses.
Hey, give me the phone.
A little after this one-sided Donny Brooke ended.
The RCMP arrived.
Three police cruisers, no less.
Par for the course, Jonathan Yaneve played the victim card yet again, claiming he was the one assaulted and demanding that police call him an ambulance.
Anyway, here's some of the interaction with the police.
Officer, he has smashed me with his cane at least five times.
Okay.
I might even have the bruise here.
Do you have any ID, sir?
Interaction With Police00:11:25
So, what's going on?
This is a person.
If you Google his or her name, Jessica.
Okay.
And we're just practicing journalism.
We're finding out why this person is brandishing prohibited weapons.
I think your department actually charged him or her with that.
Why he's sending explicit messages to minor girls.
Why he's clearly gaming the system.
He supposedly needs mobility rides, but he was smashing that cane over my head like a wrestler just a second ago.
And yeah, I'm just practicing journalism.
How did this all start today, I guess?
This, because I just pulled up and I see the kind of a little bit of a Donnie Brooke, whatever you want to call it.
I followed him to the building and he shut the door.
I did not go into the building.
I stayed in this common area.
Okay.
And I wanted to talk to him and I wanted to ask him several questions, which I did.
I have it on the footage of it, sir, and I can show it to you.
Does it surprise anyone the level of fakery Jonathan Yaneve will stoop to?
If the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal had a scintilla of decency, it would tell Jonathan Yaneve to beat it.
Instead, this kangaroo court is accommodating him and enabling him, making Canada a laughingstock in the process.
For the Rebel.media, I'm David the Menzoid Menzies.
You know, I might be chuckling, folks, but believe me, sometimes inside I'm crying.
Now, the second one, I don't know if you were to have a D-Bag of the Year contest.
Certainly, Jonathan Yaniv is up there.
I think the strong runner-up for the crown would be the notorious Jordan Hunt.
You know, Jordan Hunt, he's the guy that, when he sees a woman holding a pro-life sign, he responds like Jonathan Yaneeve responds with physical violence.
Well, we wanted to cover his court case.
We were, in fact, the only media covering his court case after one of the assaults that Jordan Hunt did carry out and did get convicted for.
And of course, there was a publication ban, which is a problem these days with the Canadian courts in terms of telling you what is actually happening, and it's getting more and more prevalent, unfortunately.
But there's nothing stopping us from telling the story outside the court.
So we just waited around for Jordan Hunt to come outside the courthouse at Old City Hall in downtown Toronto.
And this is the conversation that ensued.
Well, we're back at Toronto Old City Hall to cover the latest in the pretrial hearings of Jordan Hunt.
Now, in case Jordan Hunt doesn't ring a bell, folks, that's the individual who likes to go around to women at anti-abortion rallies and he either kicks them or he pushes them allegedly into a live lane of traffic.
And if you need a reminder, well, here's the highlight reel.
Actually, it's a low light reel of Jordan Hunt in action.
If somebody gets raped by somebody, and they're like, I'm a 16-year-old and I can't have this baby.
Think you should keep it?
It's a baby.
And someone is raped and she gave birth and she decided to kill her three-year-old child.
I went to your phone.
You can't harm somebody else.
You can't get physical.
You can disagree with somebody's message.
You can't get over the world and harass people.
Then you get harassed back.
I got Ariana.
I didn't take that away from you.
Tried to take all your pamphlets away from you.
Arguably that is wrong.
Yeah, I tried to knock your stupid billboard in the side.
Okay.
So if you don't want me to f your stuff, why are you deciding to f with other people's choices?
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.
However, a publication ban doesn't preclude us from asking Mr. Hunt questions once he gets outside in public.
And that's what we're going to be waiting for.
And another thing I really want to find out if he's showing any contrition, if he has any empathy for his victims, and if he's going to actually man up and deliver an apology to the woman he kicked, Marie Claire Bissonet.
So let's see what happens when Jordan Hunt comes out of this courtroom.
Jordan Hunt, do you have any words to say to Marie Claire?
Hold still.
Well, not quite a roundhouse kick, but what kind of a assault was that?
It looked like circus clown confetti.
Jordan, who's paying your legal bills?
Jordan, it doesn't seem like you're very tough when a man is asking you questions.
You like to ambush women.
Man?
This is what those look like?
By the way, how come your hair isn't purple and you don't have a flower anymore there?
How come you have to use cameras like these to record?
How come you- did the budget end at like the cheap suit?
Is it?
Yeah, it's cheap.
Well, you know, I mean, you're very touchy-feely, but why is it that you like to assault women so much?
You have no contrition.
You have no empathy, it seems.
I really want to take your glasses.
I missed them.
Oh, do you?
Do you really want to assault me?
Just like mine.
I like them.
You know, Jordan, there are many viewers on our website that would like to challenge you to a boxing match.
Would you like to take them up?
Eight of them?
Oh.
Wait.
1.2 million, actually, but.
Jordan, what do you think of your new nickname, Cuck Norris?
It's actually Stiffy.
My nickname has always been Stiffy.
It's never been whatever that is.
I find that hard to believe.
A lot of people refer to you as Cuck Norris.
A lot of people refer to you as a Nazi.
Oh, a Nazi.
That's very interesting.
My grandfather fought the Nazis for five years in the Second World War.
By the way, speaking of family, what does your family think of you kicking women and pushing women into traffic?
Do you have any family or have they disowned you?
Could ask you the same question.
You could.
Do you realize you're harassing me?
I am.
I'm just asking questions.
just admitted and you know that you are harassing me I'm just I'm just asking questions Yeah, but too bad you're not a reporter.
You threw some sort of confetti in my face and then started touching my soot.
Yes.
It's like a smoke bomb, smoke screen.
You ever use a smoke bomb on a defenseless woman?
Smoke bomb on a defenseless woman.
Right.
You have no contrition, do you?
You have no sense of empathy.
You will not apologize to these women, will you?
For these heinous sneak attacks.
You're not a real reporter.
You're just harassing me.
Well, if I'm not real, I guess you can just pretend I'm your shadow and you can say whatever you want then.
You're a harassing fake reporter.
Oh, I see.
So you're concerned about me harassing you, but you kicked a woman and you threw a woman into a live lane of traffic.
Film you can edit things and look at avatar Do you think Avatar happened?
Do you think that people went to another planet and people are actually blue?
Because it happened on film.
Yes, folks, we have a CGI budget.
We're making Avatar here.
I'm just saying, fool.
Oh, God.
Don't you have any words of apology for what you did?
We saw you on camera when you did that little whiny, I meant to kick your camera.
Wasn't that you talking?
Jordan, wasn't that you saying that?
Ma'am, I don't have time for you.
Oh, we got plenty of time.
don't we're happy to walk with you since we're not real but I just want to see if you have You're not a real journalist.
Can you man up and apologize to Marie Claire Bissonet?
If she wants to sit down with me and have that conversation, she can.
She has to seek you out.
Why don't you seek her out?
You know where she works.
No, I don't.
You might be the only one.
Did you or did you not kick Marie Claire Bissonet?
I'm trying to walk away.
And why did you kick her?
I'm trying to walk away.
You are a weird fing person.
You know what?
You calling me a weird effing person?
I think we found the first example so far today of the pot calling the kettle black.
I always try to walk away first, and I'm trying that now.
But you didn't walk away at the abortion protest, did you?
No, somebody ran up behind me and started in on me.
So yeah.
Somebody ran up behind you?
Yeah.
Is that what you're saying?
It's on the video.
It is on the video.
Yeah, so you can tell.
You did a roundhouse kick right into the torso of a woman and then you claim a speculation.
Then you claim you meant to hit her camera.
Is that true?
Like I said, I'm not having this discussion with you.
You know, I'm having deja vu.
There's a federal leader who calls himself a feminist who also has trouble with strong women.
I wonder who that would be.
Why aren't you a politician?
You're so likable.
Would you vote for me?
A maniacal laugh.
I'll take that as a yes.
I'm saying you need to f straight off, like in the most polite way possible.
So you can't make a point without profanity?
Would you please stop harassing me?
I know you like to make points with violence, but I'm right here.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Can we please stop?
Do you want to be charged?
I'm not doing anything.
You are.
Let go of the camera.
I'm not doing anything.
Let go of the camera.
I don't want to be filmed.
Huh?
Doesn't matter.
You're in a public space.
Doesn't matter.
Well, anyways, there goes Jordan Hunt.
I don't think there's any more point in talking to him.
When are you going to get back to me with this match?
Was it boxing or wrestling, fencing?
I think he's either saying I'm number one or give me the finger.
Anyways, Folks00:01:01
I think I'm going to go for the latter.
Anyways, well, folks, that's once again, Jordan Hunt.
We tried to get him on camera to at least offer an apology for the heinous things he has done.
But as you saw, there's no contrition.
There is absolutely no empathy for his victims.
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.
And we'll be there and we'll see what happens that day.
Yeah, I wonder where Jordan Hunt is today.
Anyways, folks, those were two of my favorites for 2019.
I'm sure there is more fun and vivality to come in 2020 as we bid adieu to this decade.
Thank you so much for tuning into Rebel Roundup.
Always enjoy getting your feedback, by the way.
And never forget, folks, without risk, there can be no glory.
