An asyndeton is a writing style where conjunctions are omitted in a series of words, phrases or clauses.

I would say it is not an asyndeton in this case, due to the quote having "and" in it multiple times.

I'm not a professional when it comes to asyndetons, so make sure to look over notes if you have any! Good luck!
