Discussion questions whether racism can cause medical conditions and examines how characters discuss racism as a factor in health and threat perception.

Asmongold reacts to a controversial New Amsterdam episode and the broader culture-war discourse, calling out gaslighting, woke skepticism, and online extremism with sharp humor and pointed examples.

Summary

Asmongold dives into a clip-heavy critique of a New Amsterdam episode that claims racism caused a teen’s tumors, and quickly widens the lens to the culture-war noise surrounding it. He quotes dialogue from the episode to highlight how characters pathologize youth experiences, then shifts to a broader takedown of the way online discourse treats “woke” culture, academia, and media narratives. Throughout, Asmongold interjects with his trademark skepticism, calling out gaslighting tactics and the allure of sensationalism. He also references real-world political clips—ranging from Harvard-style tests to public protests and media personalities—to illustrate how narratives are manipulated or amplified. The tone remains confrontational and provocative, but the core aim is to shine a light on how false dichotomies and extreme rhetoric distort complex issues. Viewers are reminded to critically evaluate sources, question loud claims, and consider the underlying power dynamics at play in contemporary debates. This isn’t a dry analysis; it’s a flame-wrapped rant that tries to connect pop-culture misfires to a longer history of polarizing rhetoric.

So, New Amsterdam's episode claims racism caused a teen's tumors. Is this real? Let me see what this is. Racism. Your son's tumor was caused by racism. There's a couch over there. Hey, is he okay? Yeah. Yeah, he's um he's okay. I had Sephus answer some questions from a Harvard test known as unrest. It is designed to um measure someone's level of social resistance. social resistance when people like us oppose the values and policies of the dominant culture. That's right. And what does that have to do with your son? He feels threatened on a daily basis like everything he's earned can just be taken away. He's disenfranchised. But because his life is seemingly free from all this because he can't name it, he's internalizing it. Name what? Racism. I think your son's tumor was caused by racism. There's a Oh my god. What is wrong with these people? This is a longer clip. It's all real. Oh god. So, there's a full Oh god. Okay. All right. All right. Let's watch this. Here we go. I don't know what Ralph and Piggy thought when they found it, but I think both the conch shaw and the boards head symbolized power. Just different types. Knockk knockock. I hate to interrupt the creative process, but I have the results of your biopsy. The mass in your stomach turns out to be a primitive newerectomal tumor. Tumor. The good news is it's benign. Surgeons should be able to remove it and see if will make a full recovery. What caused it? Tumors are very sensitive to hormone levels inside the body. And in Cphus' case, he had an excessive amount of cortisol, which is one of the body's main stress hormones. Should have watched Clav wouldn't have happened. So, how does a 13-year-old get a tumor from stress? He was cortisol maxing. That's what I'd like to find out. Dr. Dr. Sharp didn't say anything about the tumor being in my brain. No, no, no, no. Um, that's a little misleading. Psych is not just about what's going on in your head because what is going on up there can affect your entire body, right? In your case, excessive cortisol levels caused a tumor. Uh, but cortisol is triggered by PTSD, stress, anxiety. But I don't have any of those things. PTSD? My life was pretty boring until I came here. Okay. Do you have any stressors in your life? I'm good. Home's good. School's good. I love how the episode is actually just a bunch of adults that have a myopic political view and worldview that are gaslighting a child into thinking that they're mentally ill or there's something wrong with them. This is like the subtext under all of it that like, yeah, let's gaslight this little kid into thinking that there's something wrong with him. My biggest stressor is the school librarian. The librarian? All right. The librarian gave you a tumor. She refuses to let me check out some books because they're reserved for gifted students, even though I've been reading them for years. That's it. But that upset you. Yeah. But so he got a tumor for being [ __ ] Well, isn't that kind of like natural selection? Books. Who cares? Well, yeah, but they're not just books, are they? And I think that you care. I think you care very much. Tell me why. Let's explain this. Because I'm smart, too. Yeah. Does anyone else in your life make you feel that way? Yeah. He just goes, "Yeah." Like as if every kid's smart. No, they're not. There are some kids that are just born losers. They're [ __ ] They're stupid little kids. They're going to be stupid teenagers and they're going to be stupid adults. And if they have kids, the kids are going to be stupid, too. Less than diminished. I'm 13, so like everybody, you know what? Let's uh let's try something different here. God. Yes. All right, Steph. I am going to read a few remarks and you simply have to reply 1 through 10. One meaning almost never, 10 meaning almost always. Okay. Piece of cake. Here we go. This kid's actually getting gaslighted. What do you think doesn't count very much? 10. 10? Really? Yeah. 10. 10 it is. You feel excluded, isolated. 10. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Absolutely. 10. When I walk into a store, I am followed or closely watched. 10. These questions are easy. You feel threatened, harassed, even if you can't articulate why. Make yourself comfortable. There's a couch over there. Yeah. Yeah, he's um he's okay. I had answer some questions from a Harvard test known as unrest. It is designed to um measure someone's level of social resistance. Socialist. And you can look at this. His tumors are caused by racism. January 27th, 2023. distance That's right. And what does that have to do with We need to start telling kids that their feelings are dumb. We need to start telling kids that whenever they feel excluded, it's probably because they deserve it. When you start telling kids that if you were so special, you would have understood multiplication by fifth grade. When you start telling kids that you're probably going to grow up and be a loser, really, I think that's what has to happen. from all this, because he can't name it, It's not bullying. No, it's just the truth. racism, which by the way, nothing that even that they even said had anything to do with It didn't have anything to do with it. Like, he's like, I mean, what what 13-year-old boy doesn't feel like nobody cares what he thinks? Like, I would have answered 10 on half of those when I was 13. every day 9:30 to 9:45. Sandra Fall from Billing. Hi. How does it? It doesn't go good because you can't code for racism. Uh, and yet I did. So, no. You hand wrote a non-option in the margin like a burn bro during the 2016 general election. Yes, I did because there isn't a code for my actual diagnosis. Okay, then change your diagnosis to an approved ICD10 code because that's how we build insurance companies. else. I want to let you guys know that I will make it my life's mission to disenfranchise and remove as much of these people's political and social power as possible. Just being able to wake up and make them suffer slightly more is enough motivation for me to continue. There is no there is like the the better world that I see is a world that's worse for them. There is like I I don't need to have I don't need to be the good guy. I don't need to be Oh, wow. You're the you're fighting for the right thing. Uh-uh. Oh, no. No. They are so awful. They are the worst. They deserve it. They deserve worse than honestly the way I feel. But, you know, I've got to do what I've got to do. They had the same exact opinion about us. Of course they do. So, you have and again this is more people are mad about this and and I'm I'm very glad to see and you can see this is just so [ __ ] ridiculous and delusional by the way. It is. You know episode racism causes tumors. How I feel about people that complain about woke these days. Stinks. It stinks. It stinks. Yes, Mr. Sherman, everything stinks. And and this is so this is the new strategy that these people have to downplay the amount of cultural. You should some of the quotes in a viral tweet. It's a gold mine. Okay, let me see it. So this is what they try to do is they're trying to gaslight people into thinking that it never happened. That's really I I I would say that's really what it is. They're trying to gaslight and make people think that all of this like woke nonsense and ridiculous cultural control that they had never actually happened even though we were all there and everybody saw it happen. But for some reason they're trying to pretend LIKE OH NO NO THAT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS. YEAH. What what's a video that defines peak woke? Lori Lightfoot introducing us to the Rona destroyer. Oh my god, this is bad. Yep. Happy Halloween. This is all real. This was I She was like a I I forgot what she was in charge of. She was the mayor of some city of Chicago. I guess she was the prettiest mayor of So guess what we're here to talk about today? What? Uh good afternoon everyone and happy October 1st. I'd like to begin holiday uh acknowledging my partner in crime uh Dr. Dr. Alison Artery, the commissioner of public health. And thanks to the sufficient progress we've made in the fight against CO 19, earlier this week, we announced that we begin easing some phase 4 restrictions on our businesses, which start today. And though we still have a long way to go on our recovery journey, uh we're Yeah, there it is. I mean, look at this. Oh my [ __ ] god. These people are just absolutely out of their [ __ ] mind. So, yeah, there it is. And uh 747, we used to have a country. Yeah. The spiderverse, the the disabled non-binary lesbian spider person was the peak of woke 1.0. What is this here? Can I find it? Oh my go Oh my god. Yep. There's another one. We've got this, of course, the classic. This one was recent. deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWGSLGBTQQIA+. This is abhorrent. Deal. By the way, just in case anybody was wondering this actually is in fact a very strong password. Yes, this is this Yeah, she's literally listing out a password with the ongoing genocide of MMIWGSLGBTQIA plus. This is abhorrent. Right there it is. Tumors. Yeah. Whites begged to atone for rape. What is this? We know he's no longer going to be here in honor of his legacy. We're not crying, guys. A bunch of white people bowing down to black people. Everybody, God, we're just humbling ourselves before you. Yes, Lord. You brought the thunder and rain today, God because Satan takes the L today. Father, in Jesus name, you get the victory. Uhhuh. Father, we ask for forgiveness from our black brothers and sisters for years and years of racism of systematic racism. We know he died and he no longer can be here. Where is this on the scale? Let me see. We're not saving anybody. Oh my [ __ ] god. Capria. Yeah, these people are just absolutely nuts. And they always were. What is this? Oh, this is Yeah, I saw this is the first black first black transgender woman with quadripolgic cereble palsy to attend the Matt Gala that I remember seeing this and it was just so dumb and silly that I didn't even cover it on my stream. I was just like, "Okay, right." Yeah. And uh tell me I'm not in a cult. Okay. What is this here? Is this a leading candidate? These colleges and universities, their silence is deafening as they do nothing despite the pleas from fearful students that are in a state of shock over the hatred and the rabbid and virilent anti-semitism. There's a lot of that. They want our people dead. They want us killed. Why are you dead? Isn't it great that we've imported the Sand Wars into America? Now we have to take a side on the 2,000-year-old war. Oh great. Oh. Oh, just what we needed. No, let's not talk about healthcare. Let's figure out who owns this plot of land that they've been killing each other over for a thousand years. Let's Let's Yeah, let's try to figure out who was really right. Please. Oh, okay. Every university, I want you to pause. All of you people on these big school boards, I want you to pause. Every president of every university where this is taking place, did you just hear that, girl? They want us dead. And by the way, I do think a lot of the Palestine activist people, they are at least ambivalent towards the people that are part of their movement that want to just literally kill Jews and destroy Israel. Like I I don't think that it's that far off. I think that you can be pro Palestine and not do that. But I think that a lot of those people do that. Crumping for Floyd. What is this? Do you know what's so funny is that this is actually so much more well behaved than the ICE protest now. Like it's actually gotten worse since then. Like this is just like, okay, a guy dance like, "No, who cares, right? Nobody gives a [ __ ] This is fine." What is this? It's like a Is she on drugs? I I think she's Yeah, I guess she must be dancing. It's slightly different. And uh Okay. Giving up a paddle board. Stand up. Paddle boarders getting dragged out of the ocean and arrested while Gavin Newsome ded. He's going to commit suicide. He's just going to go crash into the piling. Oh yeah. They got to send out the drones. Uhoh. Here they go. They're sending drones out to capture people. First ever. Mhm. Oh, he faked him out. Now he's going back out to sea. Oh, there it is. There it is. Did the old stretcheroo. Oh my god. This guy's really dude. Lared. One guy. Uh-oh. He's screwed. Now he's This guy's coming in. Highway pursuit. Oh my god. Look at this. Cut them all. Throw the throw the tax down. Pop the tires. Keep this in mind whenever they say that like, "Oh, wow. We're wasting all this money on ice." These people have no problem using multiple lifeguard boats to run down a single paddle boarder who's not following a COVID restriction. They had no problem with that. They will waste however much money they need to get what they want. They don't care about money at all. Oh my god. Spray him with a hose. Is this GTA? No, unfortunately. Talk about wasted money. Yep, that's right. Look at him. Uh-oh. Two guys. Oh man, they got both boats on them now, too. Oh, he's getting away still. They're going to have to shoot him. Damn, that [ __ ] This this this is the reason why these people can never have power ever again. You can never give these people any power. This is last time they had power. This is what they did. You got to be teeth. I don't know. We're not paying for his teeth because we have to pay for this. Uh-uh, brother. Nope. No paddle boarding today. Uh-uh. I forgot about this one. That Gina, what is this? Nice. I don't know what the [ __ ] he's saying. Oh, not so good. Is a trans skater. Why? Because they're half skater and half uh obviously like basically brick. They're falling on the ground. Olympics. Yeah. Wow. That is just it it's so embarrassing. What is this? Can I find it? Go out on a Come on, baby. Don't say maybe. Please go out on a date with me and make me a happy Pokemon. You see, Perloin's a guy. Oh my god. I haven't seen this. I This is the first time. Okay. Oh god. This was the This was a total crash out. I remember this. Here, let me use the bathroom. I'm going to look at the rest of them. Please link it. Yeah. I haven't watched Pokemon since I was like nine. Okay. All right. All right. Calm down, guys. Calm down. Relax. Relax. We got a lot more of these. I forgot all about these. So Bernie Sanders had a rally and it got interrupted by two um BLM activists that decided to crash out and stop him from talking for really no reason. Now if you do not listen to her, your event will be shut down right now. Right now. Your decision. Make a decision now. One day when the long time ago it was ours. And I want y'all to keep all these clips in mind whenever you see a bunch of retards arguing about Israel. This is the problem. This is the immediate real problem that we're dealing with every [ __ ] day. That these people are not gone. They're they've been basically neutralized. But we haven't finished the job. We haven't we gota we got to go even farther. The music too. We will let we will No, we are going to we are going to let you on the mic. All right. So we are trying to be reasonable. We are trying to be We are TRYING TO BE REASONABLE. WE are trying. Of course. Never tell him to calm down. We are reasonable. You see that? Really just set him off. We are trying TO BE REASONABLE. WE ARE. WE ARE TRYING. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE you We're going to let you on the mic. We're going to give you the mic. We will. After Senator Sanders. After Senator Sanders. After Senator Sanders. After Senator Sanders. AFTER SENATOR SANDERS. DO NOT TELL ME WHAT Senator Sanders. After Senator I can't wait to watch this girl's body cam video. I think this is one of the ones where they have to put her in the van. I think this is the kind of girl that ends up with her body cam video and she's in the van, you know, with like four additional charges. Yeah. Okay. All right. Resisting with violence. Assault on an officer. Oh, yeah. Right there it is. And uh it's just it's crazy that people put up with this garbage. And so anyway, uh let me see if I could find Okay, trans people belong here. We need trans people. We love trans That's what they're saying out there. They're standing in a circle in the rotunda saying that rotunda. Who says over and over again? Call something a rotunda. Trans people belong here. We need trans people. We love trans people. Wow. You just said that We need trans people. Wait, we love trans people. Trans people belong here. Trans people. Trans people belong here. We need trans people. We love trans people. Trans people belong here. We need trans people. We love trans people. Trans people belong here. We need trans people. We love trans We here. WE NEED TRANS PEOPLE. WE LOVE LIKE TRANS PEOPLE BELONG HERE. WE NEED TRANS. WE LOVE TRANS PEOPLE. TRANS PEOPLE BELONG HERE. We need trans WE NEED TRANS PEOPLE. WE LOVE TRANS PEOPLE. TRANS PEOPLE BELONG HERE. We need trans people. WE LOVE TRANS PEOPLE. TRANS people belong here. You matter. AND I AM FIGHTING FOR YOU. And I will not stop. I will not stop today. I will not stop tomorrow. You are loved. You matter. You belong here. You're out of breath for just yelling. I think your heart's going to start fighting soon. That's bad. So So you remember what I was talking about about the Salem witch trials? Um, I was thinking about really I mean we got to really go back and look at why certain things happened. What exactly was the reason because I think that there might be a few things that got left out. There might be a few things that didn't necessarily uh, you know, go all the way in. All right. One one more. Can I find it? All right. This is this one more transgender woman duets with Aboriginal elders. The Blues Clues drag parade featuring non-binary dolphins and trans beefers with double massctomy scars. Okay, this is the last one we're going to watch. The next one's about a fat woman, so we have to watch the one so we can make fun of a fat girl again. So, this is going to be the second to last one we're going to watch. There's no way I'm going to miss out on that. Pride parade one by one. This family has two mommies. They love each other. This is a kid show. This is a transexual rabbits with a black lives matter. Marching two by two. Hurrah. Hurrah. This family has two daddies. They love each other so proudly and they all Is this for kids? Yeah. Come on, friends. Oh, there it is. Oh, it's a disabled. It's a disabled dolphin with a gay baby dolphin. I don't even know what this flag is. It's a gay baby dolphin. Nonbinary. Oh, it's a non Is that it? Oh, it's that's a transaexual beavers. Uh-huh. That's right. And so, one more. One more. I am not a moment. I'm a force to be reckoned with. Yeah. It's called gravity. I am Chica. Is that it? Calvin Klein. I am not a moment. Wow. And so anyway, uh this is my this is my plea to all of the right-wing people that try to fight with each other about who's being paid by Israel, who's actually a Jew, is that we still have drag queens that are doing story times with children. We still have gay pride parades where adults are exposing their genitals and doing performative sex acts in front of children. And those people still aren't being put up inside of concentration camps and other forms of imprisonment for the rest of their lives. I think that we have bigger problems than Israel. I think that we have bigger issues than who's a Jew. And we have had such a resounding and ridiculous cultural victory over these people that you think that the problem is gone because comparatively it is. But it's not. They're waiting. They're biting their time. And the moment that you give them the opportunity, they will push gay, trans, baby, disabled dolphins and kid shows overnight. This is the only thing I'm asking you guys is that please be reasonable. Please be smart. They're consolidating. Yes, exactly. Stop looking at, you know, like some other [ __ ] Start the ass. The the the work here is not done. You still have elementary school teachers that are taking students out to protest against ICE. those teachers should be inside of a jail for child endangerment. Why is that not happening? Well, I'll tell you one of the reasons why it's not happening. It's because you're too busy calling each other Jews and arguing about what percentage makes you a Jew and what point makes you uh you know like listen to Israel. It's embarrassing. It is. It's a huge embarrassing. Yeah, we still have H we still have HR inside of companies. Like y'all don't understand this rot like in is so deep and like really this was the uh this was as bad as it got. But it will get worse if you don't go after it. I thought you like solving problems at the source. You think Jews did that? Let me go ahead. Let me Why don't you go ahead and and explain that to me. What group of people do you think are responsible for it to begin with? You think Jews did this? The reason why all this happened is because of Jews. Let's go ahead and work this out. Let's work out this reasoning. Oh, no. Sorry. So then what is it? Israel that did it. Epstein pushed for trans. There's a lot of people that pushed for trans. Epstein's not the only one. What are you [ __ ] You think the only people that are pushing for trans were Jews? What does that make sense? I don't think the problem is going to be solved by getting the symptom. What's the disease? Let's go ahead and listen to it. We're going to understand this. Probably trolling you. No, it's all I don't know, bro. You're trying to say it's Jews. Yeah, it's obviously what you're trying to do. It's clearly it. But you know that you can't actually define any sort of reasoning for that. The idea that Jews are uniquely responsible for being gay or trans dolphins and kid shows is [ __ ] There are tons of people that do this that aren't Jews. And fundamentally this ideology has happened all around the world to the extent that you allow these people to have power. Magnus Hersshfield I know. when he was and and you're talking about the Weimar Republic after World War I. I get that. And the first trans surgery was in his hospital inside of of Berlin in Germany. I I I I understand all of the lore. I get that. But what I'm saying is that the problem is that these people are an existential threat that transcends any one individual ethnic or religious group. This is a meta level problem. It's a metal level problem that goes beyond that. Trans or Nazi? No, but the Nazis were a response to that partially. Uh like that that was one of the big things that a lot of them were against and there was and and there was a lot of degeneracy then too to be fair, right? I mean like they had like you know child prostitutes and [ __ ] like that. So it was very bad and so like yeah obviously that's what's going to happen, right? Is people are going to get radicalized. So you think there's six genders in the books. Uh, we should stop women from voting and it'll probably be all good. Wow. Um, so yeah. Anyway, uh, yeah. No, this this stuff was just insane, man. It really was. And, uh, I have an opinion, uh, on the source. Pull me up. The source fundamentally is that it's that people are afraid to push back on it. That's really what the source is. The source is weakness and cowardice. And people are unwilling to push back and attack people that do
