00:00:00.000 I have some bad news for you tonight patriots. The pleb reporter, he's gone missing and something 1.00

00:00:05.380 really bad has happened to him. Pleb has been missing for about a week now and people are

00:00:09.820 rightfully concerned. Is he dead? Is he in jail? What's going on? I have the answers and I'm going

00:00:16.780 to warn you, truth is often stranger than fiction. In case you're unfamiliar, the pleb is a popular

00:00:22.100 Canadian YouTuber and he describes himself as a spokesperson for conservatives in Canada.

00:00:26.860 He is known for making cheeky posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, and he's also known for live

00:00:32.740 streaming Pierre Polyev's rallies. Let's take a quick look at Pleb's background. Pleb's real name

00:00:37.920 is Nick Bellinger and he grew up in and lives in the city of Montreal in Quebec. Now before getting

00:00:42.860 into politics, Pleb was a garbage truck driver and he made comedic rap videos in his spare time.

00:00:48.480 I'm not going to play the video because it's inappropriate for YouTube, but if you want to

00:00:52.240 hear what he had to say, check out the links in the description. He started posting political videos

00:00:56.120 in 2023 and within a year, he became one of the biggest political YouTubers in Canada.

00:01:01.420 The pleb gained traction after live streaming Pierre Polyev's rallies in the lead up to the

00:01:05.220 2025 federal election. The pleb was even seen hugging Polyev after one of his rallies.

00:01:10.120 Good to see you, buddy. We broke records tonight. 17,000 people watched me show the crowd. Yes,

00:01:16.300 on YouTube. On your YouTube? On my YouTube. 17,000 people watched me go around and show the crowds.

00:01:22.120 Is that 17,000 with inflation? Funny enough, the first thing that Pleb did after Polyev lost the

00:01:29.700 election was get on a first-class flight and go to Thailand. Ever since coming back, he still makes

00:01:35.480 videos once in a while, but he's not making them as frequently as he did prior to the election.

00:01:40.020 This year, Pleb was once again in the spotlight after attending Polyev's leadership conference in

00:01:44.860 Calgary. In a speech after the conference, he described himself as the spokesperson for

00:01:49.920 conservatives in Canada. Listen to this. And you guys blew me up. You made me your representative

00:01:55.260 of the people. And I, and I, and I'm, I'm honored. Now, this is where things took a really dark turn

00:02:01.880 for Pleb. Last week, British Columbia suffered the worst mass shooting in its history. Now,

00:02:06.880 did Pleb offer his condolences? Did he acknowledge the children that were murdered in the school? No,

00:02:13.500 he didn't. I'll tell you what Pleb decided to do. He used his massive platform to spread fake news

00:02:18.880 about the shooter. He posted a picture of an alleged shooter, but the person he posted had

00:02:24.020 nothing to do with the shooting. It was a random person in Ontario, and now that person and their

00:02:29.280 family are receiving death threats. Now, Pleb, to his credit, did apologize for spreading fake news,

00:02:34.320 which I'll read here. A few hours ago, I posted an image of someone I believed to be the Tumblr Ridge

00:02:38.560 school shooter before the identification had been verified. The post was removed within minutes.

00:02:44.360 I've also been proactively reaching out to account sharing the same unverified image to encourage

00:02:48.540 its removal so others do not repeat the mistake. Speed is never an excuse for inaccuracy,

00:02:54.080 and I will exercise greater caution moving forward. Sincere apologies for contributing to

00:02:58.740 any confusion. Naturally, the internet, they weren't so quick to let that one go.

00:03:04.020 I will read what one person had to say. There's a special place in hell for the Pleb. 1.00

00:03:08.460 There's a horrific tragedy, and immediately he's posting pics of an innocent person

00:03:12.120 just to jump on the culture war bandwagon. Remember, the CBC gave this man a press pass.

00:03:17.520 Now, the hate didn't stop there. No, it was only getting started. Pleb was soon called out by

00:03:26.160 several media organizations, including the Toronto Star, the Walrus, and the T. He also faces possible

00:03:32.580 hate crime charges. So, after making these comments and then apologizing, Pleb went completely dark.

00:03:38.840 A lot of people have tried really hard to get a hold of him, and they haven't heard anything.

00:03:42.920 So, now people are wondering, is he dead? Did he off himself in shame? It's possible,

00:03:49.260 but it's more likely that he's still alive. However, the one thing that is dead is his career

00:03:54.800 and political commentary. Now, I understand mistakes. We all make mistakes. However, when you

00:03:59.700 claim to be the leader of the conservative movement in Canada, you have an obligation to get your facts

00:04:04.600 straight. Not only does spreading fake news, intentionally or not, misinform and hurt the people

00:04:09.980 that trusted you to tell them the truth about the world, it also plays into the left's hands

00:04:14.800 and helps make sure that Polyev will never get elected. Now, Pierre Polyev, he's worked so hard

00:04:20.360 these last few years, so hard to become the next prime minister of Canada. He did everything he could.

00:04:26.240 And on top of that, he actually was generous enough to fly Pleb out to Calgary, pay for all of his

00:04:32.480 expenses and invite him to the leadership convention. And how does Pleb pay Polyev back? He pays him back

00:04:39.540 by betraying him, betraying conservatives, and spreading fake news about dead children and the

00:04:46.400 person who committed these crimes. That's how Pleb paid him back. Conservatives are in rough shape right

00:04:51.820 now. Polyev just lost another MP today. We need all the help we can get. And people like Pleb,

00:04:57.960 they're just making things worse for everyone who votes conservative. Now, if Polyev has any sense,

00:05:02.920 and I know he's a very smart guy, he's going to publicly separate himself from the Pleb and tell 1.00

00:05:07.920 Pleb he's not allowed to cover any more political rallies. And if the Pleb can't cover any more

00:05:12.820 political rallies, that is the end of his career as a political influencer. He'll have to go back to

00:05:18.120 driving garbage trucks because he's certainly never going to be successful being a rapper. I can tell

00:05:22.760 you that. And I'm tired of these popular YouTubers like the Pleb using their massive platforms 0.99

00:05:27.860 to make conservatives like me look bad. Shame on you, Pleb. That being said, I'm still hopeful.

00:05:33.560 I'm still optimistic. I still think Polyev has a good chance of becoming the next prime minister,

00:05:38.240 but he needs to be a little bit more careful about who he associates with.

00:05:42.660 Thanks for tuning in. I love every single one of you.

00:05:57.860 Thank you.

00:06:27.860 Thank you.

00:06:57.860 Thank you.

00:07:27.860 Thank you.

00:07:57.860 Thank you.

00:08:27.860 Thank you.
