Video game streamer Zack Hoyt, better known online as Asmongold, has emerged in the right-leaning media landscape as an influential political commentator. Now he is urging a future Republican administration to go “Old Testament” on perceived political enemies and take a harsher approach to immigration, including by denaturalizing citizens and rounding up “parasite” immigrants and anti-ICE protestors.

Hoyt has an audience of millions who tune in to watch the streamer scroll through social media, play video games, and react to the latest news. Alongside gaming content, Hoyt pushes right-wing talking points on subjects ranging from “identity politics and progressive values” to immigration, amassing 2.4 billion views on his YouTube channels alone in 2025.

And while his streams often have a stream-of-consciousness feel, Hoyt has a clear agenda, as he explained while talking about migrants in the United Kingdom: “I want to make one thing extremely clear. My goal with talking about this stuff is to radicalize people as much as possible. I show this and I portray this stuff in the most extreme and negative way so I can make people angry and they'll be willing to follow the solutions that I want them to follow. Because I don't want people to get this confused. I have a very clear goal with the way that I express this stuff.”
