0:00 [Music] so today i think it would be good to um to honor dr john chang he was the doctor during the taiwanese church shooting at laguna woods he's the guy who actually went and tackled the shooter oh my god i'm able to subdue uh the shooter because of him wow also the only guy that died yo dude i heard that the whole church once that happened just for that second they were able to like dock pile and then they ████ like they hog title with extension cords yeah with extension cords they thought they moved fast he saved everyone's life yeah because he had they were able to take the two guns off of him uh about that guy are they they're taiwanese yeah yeah have you ever seen taiwanese politics i don't think like they started

0:50 fighting oh is that the word they're like they probably had experience from that already so the minute they felt conflict oh this is ████ easy i was wondering like who knows how to hog tie people but that's not common knowledge thing yeah the tower you'll see guys pick up chairs and throw it across the room and a guy actually did that nice a guy one guy actually threw a chair from experience i'm not even kidding like that really happened which which taiwanese martial art is this like chair throwing parliament taiwanese parliament but yeah the uh they were able to subdue them and all of the victims i believe that were shot were like between the ages of like 60 or something like all like even the shooter was like hella old he's like 68 or something like that did this say did they release what the conflict was yeah so yeah he's he's a vegas resident that grew up in taiwan but he's

1:42 a mainland chinese that grew up in taiwan and then he had this hate toward taiwanese people and china people a little differently yeah yeah because they're less you know but than yeah i thought like he had a conflict with someone at church no he doesn't you know like how come you don't set up chairs like you know i'm gonna go shoot everybody you know drove from vegas yeah he didn't even know anyone there and he he basically like ate their potluck hung out with them for a couple of hours and then that full super glued like the doors oh my god locked him up and then he started his ████ shooting did he just choose a random church or he had like a special seems like because he told them that he had been there before he's like i've been to this church but all of the long-time parishioners of that church were like we don't know this dude and you know it's pretty easy to know who goes to your church if you if that's your church and especially if you're

2:32 that old yeah i bet he was a little weird yeah even if someone comes in like once or twice you know oh yeah that guy came in uh in taiwan if you're not from taiwan uh there's like a foreigner word that's kind of derogatory what is it uh why certain so it's like it's like say like like gaijin right there that's like that outsider yeah so it's like oh this guy's not from here there's like a so it's not gaijin's not derogatory oh this one's a little bit derogatory okay yeah it's because taiwanese no one do a press so they press everyone they can because for the longest time they were oppressed they don't think they're our country that's why yeah other than the the doctor was pretty much the guy i saved the day five other people got wounded what i didn't get is like this

3:22 dude he hate like i i guess they're saying that it was uh racially motive or like hate motivated they're calling it a hate crime because he hated taiwanese people but he basically spent most of his life life in taiwan but he's he was mad about the recent tensions between china and taiwan and i'm like what what makes you ████ think that going into a taiwanese church is gonna stop taiwan like taiwan's gonna look at this and they're gonna be like oh my god you're right you're so right we'll be china yeah we're yeah on top of that they're she's shooting americans exactly they're not even like taiwanese taiwan are expensive so like you know i feel like you're trying to save some money yeah and you can't take guns you know probably it's just a market manipulation i mean this is no different than like the crazy crackheads that are punching asian grandmas thinking that that's

4:12 going to stop covet or whatever it's like the ████ this is crazy i think it's no different from any demonstration that's not directly tackling your adversary like you're not like if you taiwan nor china are gonna look at any outside example and go we'll consider that in our next polit political like talks like no they don't give ████ like if you want to take down china you have to directly take down china like you're not going to take him down in america that was actually like he's shooting like taiwanese ambassadors or exactly it's like no you're going to go after the most vulnerable and they're us citizens yeah and i ████ up did the doctor take like a bunch of gunshots i i don't know how many shots he took that's that's seriously like brave stuff because like if someone came to my church and like i usually sit in the back because that's where all the cool people sit yeah yeah so like i'd probably be one of the first like the targets right yeah well then

5:03 that's what i would do is like as soon as i heard something like i'd be gone i thought i saw walter nah he just took off he left a while ago yeah and so if i for this guy's mental like state to be like i'm gonna go hit him first yeah like that wouldn't even cross my mind that's gangster yeah that i i'd be like hey do you think this chair would like stop the bullet yeah nah play it you think you'll see me run like i think running would be better like that's what go through my mind seriously it's hard to imagine yourself in that situation where you would like jump a gunman you know yeah and it said that the doctor he he knew martial arts as well like uh he was probably the more capable not the one that could catch bullets apparently he needs to learn from wemo are there any martial arts that are bullet specific yeah join my academy there remo

5:54 williams he learned from this korean dude um technically he was a white guy but he had this and then he taught him how to dodge bullets it's because you have to hear the tendons and the finger pulling and then he would yes he would you never saw remove that was a great great documentary rip fred ward yeah there were several installations yeah dude oh it was great but the korean guy played by the you know like oz amazing your best korean depiction his accent was actually decent it wasn't good it was just decent it was a mixture of chinese and korean oh but yeah what happened to all the um all the martial arts studios that are ran by white guys that pretend to be asian like do they all disappear i think they're all just closer to the midwest now oh or madojo ousted them all i know i think they transitioned to mma oh really yeah

6:44 because you know honestly if i walked into uh like a taekwondo studio and the master was white i'd walk right back out yeah it's just it's just like if you guys have kids and your son goes to a basketball camp and it's run by a korean dude you'd be like what's this you're going to walk no all right you're going to walk right out did you even play high school ball yeah yeah oh junior high okay cool yeah you know i think it hits one of them the coach is like five two and you're like nah bro nah i i think it's so like you know and then if if a korean opens a tecuno studio and he might suck but he's korean it's authentic yeah they're gonna go to him they feel like they're in it you know he's not a player anymore he's a coach now yeah exactly right that's why he sucks yeah he's a mexican guy and um but you'll eat korean food by mexico exactly so here's the thing with mexicans that's great

7:34 they don't culturally they don't want to own businesses like i don't want to worry about i want to stress about it which is a great philosophy to have right so koreans can koreans chinese whoever japanese they can entrust mexicans and teach them how to make everything that's true you're not going to have juan's korean barbecue no one's going to go oh like on the yeah even though juan makes all the korean barbecue it makes it awesome no one's going to go they never want to backstab you and open across the street yeah they'll never fire no chinese because they'll learn everything and then open up a restaurant they do that currently they'll they'll bot they'll buy into a korean franchise a restaurant they'll learn everything they'll they'll nix the franchise deal and they'll in the same location open up again under a new name you know what you know what is happening though which is sort of like a a lateral ballsy move is most of the japanese food trucks are owned by mexicans oh that's that's

8:24 that's smart that's like a little side hack what's the japanese food truck any of those uh the tapaniakis oh some some do like a fusion though like i've seen a couple that are like keep like hibachi but they also like you know it's a mexican fusion things i'm like oh that's another one plugs are their thing though they started that ████ they're pretty freaking japanese is tapping yeah i don't even know what that is the ████ girl who bought you girls that's all you're doing is it worth it that's steve aoki's dad he's the one that made that ████ yeah you should go it's not even japanese i want to go i want to check it out i want them to ████ art made by i think it's steve aoki's dad that invented all that rocky mouth yeah yeah i wanna put my shrimp in my mouth

9:16 they don't do all that that's not all you want though yeah they do it from the truck everyone's standing outside you're driving next to it he's in the vodka shoot that ████ in your ████ face you
