ASIA NOW: Japan's Collective Self-Defense with UNRESTED

The Japanese cabinet approved Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's reinterpretation of Article 9 to allow the mobilization of armed forces in collective self-defense. Roughly half of Japan is against the measure and it's one of many conversations taking place in Asia... now. Today's guest is a popular Japan-based American video blogger, artist, but more importantly, father. Online you may know him as Unrested, but his real name is Scott Ackerman. I talk to Scott about how the changes might affect his Buddhist family, what he thinks about collective self-defense, and where it's headed in the future.
