Joe Rogan Reacts to Bryce Hall’s Sway House Shutdown

Let me do my Joe ideas impression. Hey Joe Rogan. I like how he calls you Joe Rogan. So if today someone said we can, schools can open up, clubs can open up, venues can open up, we can go back to normal if you wear this bracelet that tells me where you are at all times, where you were last night and who you hung out with. This is the problem with it. The same problem with shutting down a TikTok house. It's because okay, you shut down a house that has 200 people. What if it gets down to five? What if they tell you you have to split your family up? What if you have 10 people in your house? You can't have more than 10. What if you have 12 grandmas come over? Can't come over. Who the fuck are they to tell you you can't have a party? You have mismanaged this crisis so horribly at every step of the way and not just the city and not just the state, the federal government and of course the people that were releasing the information from Wuhan. That's the big step because they're the ones who fucked it up because there was a lot of legit doctors and scientists that were in Wuhan, Chinese doctors that were trying to get the word out and they were silenced and the main one, the first one that did it actually wind up dying from the fucking disease. It's crazy. So that's the biggest fuck up. But there's fuck ups every step of the way and one of the biggest fuck ups that's happening right now is these people being in a position of power and telling people that they can't work, telling people they can't do things. But you can protest. You saw the governor's got shut down, right? But I did. I did see that. Tim Dillon was supposed to be there. That's crazy. The governor's in Long Island, the comedy club. You can't have a person that just because they win a popularity contest make new rules. You can't give them the power to make new rules because everybody becomes a fucking tyrant and that's what they're doing. All they're doing is to protect people. You tell me how many fucking hospital beds you have. You tell me what the death rate is and then you tell me why this is the only state in the country that can't open a beauty salon. Beauty salons can't be open right now. Only California. They're crazy. It's a crazy state. And they opened them for a second and then took it away. Maybe it's because we don't pay taxes. Jesus Christ. The left in the Uber shit. I never paid taxes. This is a tipping point. This is bad. People are going to wake the fuck up. No, it's fine. I said I never paid taxes. Is that bad? If you don't say it on a podcast, nobody knows. Let's just say on paper, me and Wesley Snipes have a lot in common. Dude, they don't fuck around. They find you. No, I'm having my, well, I'm not talking about this actually. Everything's fine. Everything's fine. But this state is just, they're terrible at it. The fact that they can shut down these Tik Tokers, we should be nervous. Not because these Tik Tokers are geniuses. But it's because who the fuck are you to say you can shut the power off? You can shut someone's power off? It's a slippery slope. They're taking their ability to use their phone. They're like, your phone's going to die and then you're fucked. They're shutting the lights off in the house. That's what they're doing. They're cutting off the water. But if you do that, you're saying that you have the ability to shut off essentials, things that keep people alive, water and power. You're saying that you have the ability to tell them how they can live in this house. There's no real law that says you can limit the amount of people that can go to a party. Don't think there is. I'll tell you where this does not happen, Texas. My mom is from Texas. Yeah, you do not get to tell people from Texas what to fucking do. Except don't smoke weed. Yeah, except weed. What are we going to do about that? We'll figure it out. There's occupancy laws. I'm going to have the what? Occupancy laws and shit like that. Like the amount of people that can be inside of a place. But you can't change them, can you? Can you make it a house? Like if a house normally has a party, like Dan Bilzerian's place. If you're in college and you have too many people at your house, they'll come and shut it down. Right, but that's the cops and that's not your house. You went to college, Jamie. That's a big thing. They probably don't own the house either. They're probably renting it. They don't even have $10 million to buy those houses yet. If the people who own the house have some sort of a regulation, maybe I could see it. But if you, like Dan Bilzerian didn't own that house either, and the whole thing about that house that would piss off the neighbors was because he would just bus in people and they'd fill that place up and DJs and marshmallows there and shit. Everybody's going crazy. But they didn't shut his power off. So they're saying they have the ability to shut your power and water off because during the pandemic they can limit the amount of people in your house. So that's a new rule. Wow. Because if they were having these occupancy laws, Dan Bilzerian would have gotten shut down too. That's right. They're doing it because they're saying you could spread COVID this way and it's irresponsible. The problem is the way that they're doing something new. They're shutting power off on someone's house that doesn't listen. They're shutting power off on someone who's having a party who doesn't obey. But didn't they have COVID? And they're doing it for press to kind of let people know what's up. It's like a threat. And this is the same fucking guy that offered rewards for people who turned folks in. Remember the whole thing? Oh yeah. Snitches get stitches. Snitches get rewards. If people aren't social distancing, if people are having parties, and that was for small parties. That's right. Remember? That was for people having fucking barbecues. This shit is slippery. Do you think I'm going to get shut? Because I'm starting a standup show in my backyard. Just for comics we're going to do testing like what Chappelle's doing in Ohio. I'm going to do in my backyard because it's just getting crazy. Am I going to get shut down? I don't know. But you're going to let everybody know where you live. No, it's going to be, it's basically going to be like a bringer show. It's going to be like comic, bring like two friends that you trust and know. So guys, if you join my Patreon, I'll do a raffle. Any Patreon.com. We might shoot some shit. We might try to shoot some stuff. Like why not? Why not? I just wonder what is the law? Like see if we can find out if there's any written thing. How many people can I have? I don't know. Yeah. Like what is the law now in LA? If these TikTokers have too many people. But they probably have a lot. You're not going to have that many. I'm going to have like five comics. Because when I started. I think you should just be arrested if that's a law. I think you should be fined or something. I don't think you should be able to shut someone's fucking power and water off. I'd rather you just fine me. Great. Alright, bye. Yeah. If like if these TikTokers like, hey, you guys are violating the law. So here's a fine of $200. Things make sense if you're fining someone for something. Like if you park in the wrong place, you can get fined. But there's a thing that they're doing that's weird. They're shutting power off. What it's on loud or unruly gatherings known as the party house ordinance. I hate Dan Bilzerian. Did I ever work on you? It actually took place August 15, 2018. They never use it on him. The ordinance claims to curb repeat offenders of out of control parties of residential neighborhoods with escalating fines and new enforcement from Los Angeles police department. I don't think that's connected though. New enforcement tools. This is 2018. Is that like a blanket statement? I don't think that's connected to the TikTok house. These are all 2018 stories. Dude, we were also in a heat wave. It was 107. You can't cut off someone's electricity in a hundred and seventy feet. Exactly. It's wild. And we're all, we're assuming they're kids and they're allowed to be there. How long was that cut off for? Property owners who skirt building and safety rules or city laws such as Los Angeles party house ordinance was the same law. Right. Are in violation of COVID-19 public health orders in the city's party house ordinance, which becomes the law in 2018. So they're talking about that law and it said it wasn't clear whether Garcetti's announcement was related to that motion. Okay. What? It feels like it's still ad hoc. It's still exactly. They're making up as they go along. It's still sneaky. I like it. So penalties for large gatherings could include water and power shut off, permit prohibitions and having a certificate of occupancy held or revoked for large close contact, largely maskless gatherings in violation of city emergency orders and county health order. So the city emergency and the county health order, they make an order saying you can't have a large gathering. And if you do, they're going to do a new thing, which is shut your water and power off. When do they never do that? Unless you're a fugitive. You have to have like a gun and you're pointing it out the window to shut your power and water off. We're always at risk of fires and now you're making people use candlelight. Like that's what I'd say. I've seen more flames. I've seen these kids. They don't shower anyway. You didn't punish them that much. It's a slippery thing if you allow it. It's a God complex. I think it's stupid that these kids want to have these parties. And we were talking about Dr. Malk and all these people that came to him that got sick from one of those parties. You can get sick for sure. And there's probably, you know, it's a high likelihood that people are going to die if they keep getting sick and they infect someone, you know, out of, you know, it's like zero. It's 0.04% of people who catch COVID die. That's what the current standings are. So it could lead to a death or two. It is possible. But I just, I just don't think you should allow people to do that.
