The video discusses recent mass shootings in the U.S., motivated by the Great Replacement theory, a racist conspiracy suggesting white Americans are being replaced by non-whites.

Despite denials from some politicians, others, like Liz Cheney, condemn the spread of such rhetoric. The video emphasizes the importance of calling out racist ideologies to combat extremism.
