Steve Tisch Moves Giants Ownership Stake After Epstein Email Revelations · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:07
  Epstein Chronicles. A lot of people that associated with Jeffrey
• 0:12
  Epstein never thought that those relationships were going to be outed,
• 0:16
  and because of that, when Epstein was arrested, they all
• 0:20
  remained silent, and instead of coming out and explaining their associations,
• 0:25
  they lied about it. And for years they were able
• 0:29
  to get away with it. But now that these Epstein
• 0:32
  files have started to drop and we started to get
• 0:35
  a look at them, there's a lot of people that
• 0:39
  were obviously telling lies. And one of those people is
• 0:43
  Steve Tish, the owner or co owner of the New
• 0:47
  York Giants. And mister Tish tried to deny his relationship
• 0:51
  with Jeffrey Epstein, tried to act like there was not
• 0:55
  much going on there, when the fact is Epstein, according
• 0:59
  to the emails, was setting them up with women. But
• 1:03
  instead of Steve Tish just being honest about what was happening,
• 1:06
  about what happened, he lied about it. Right. Oh, I
• 1:10
  didn't really know him. We just had some ties for philanthropy.
• 1:14
  That's it, no big deal. Why is anybody asking me
• 1:17
  about Jeffrey Epstein? Well maybe just maybe because according to
• 1:21
  those emails. He was providing you with women. So who
• 1:25
  are these women? And look, I'm not saying they're underage.
• 1:28
  Let's not get that twisted. Not everything Epstein was doing
• 1:32
  had to do with underage girls. That was his proclivity,
• 1:36
  that's what he liked. That doesn't mean that he wasn't
• 1:39
  providing women of age for other people, you know, middlemanning it.
• 1:44
  You have to understand that Jeffrey Epstein was the quintessential middleman,
• 1:49
  whether that means money, whether that means people, arms, trafficking,
• 1:53
  whatever it might be. Epstein was the guy to hook
• 1:56
  it up. And all these people knew it. So when
• 1:59
  they lie and they talk about, oh, we were just
• 2:01
  involved in philanthropy or we just met out a business
• 2:04
  dinner one night, it's all a bunch of bs. And
• 2:07
  if you're lying about that, obviously people are going to
• 2:10
  wonder what else you're lying about. It's not that difficult,
• 2:13
  right you have to get out in front of this
• 2:16
  kind of thing, and you have to explain yourself, Oh, look,
• 2:19
  I wasn't doing anything crazy with that dude. Fuck, I
• 2:22
  didn't even know he was a child molester, And obviously
• 2:25
  that would be the right way to go about it.
• 2:27
  But the problem is a lot of these people knew
• 2:30
  what Epstein was, they just didn't care, And now that
• 2:33
  they're getting put on blast, all their excuses look pitiful.
• 2:38
  So today we have an article from the New York
• 2:40
  Post and the headline Steve Tish family transferring Giants' ownership
• 2:46
  after explosive work and girl Epstein email revelations. Oh and
• 2:50
  by the way, I don't care about Steve Tish's reputation,
• 2:54
  not in the least. Why should I care about his
• 2:56
  reputation if he didn't care about it, He's kind of stupid. No.
• 3:02
  This article was authored by Matt e Halt and Alex Oliviera.
• 3:08
  Giants co owner Steve Tish plans to give up his
• 3:11
  ownership of the team after facing enormous pressure over his
• 3:15
  series of damning emails with pedophile Finance here Jeffrey Epstein,
• 3:19
  sources told the Post on Wednesday, A good idea. I mean,
• 3:24
  do you really want to have this cloud hanging over
• 3:27
  your team coming into the season. Probably not the greatest
• 3:31
  thing in the world. And I'm sure that the Marra
• 3:35
  family was happy to hear it, because I highly doubt
• 3:40
  that the NFL and NFL fans. We're gonna let it slide.
• 3:44
  Can you imagine the signs, the posters, the chance when
• 3:49
  opposing teams start keying in on mister Tish's relationship with
• 3:54
  Jeffrey Epstein, And not only that, just the optics of it.
• 3:58
  All Right, you have sponsors, you have people involved with
• 4:02
  the franchise, and not to mention, the Mara family themselves
• 4:06
  certainly not down with this kind of shit, at least
• 4:09
  according to everything we know about them. I don't know
• 4:11
  them personally, but sure seems like they're not down with
• 4:14
  this kind of nonsense. So it was only a matter
• 4:17
  of time before the Tisch family had the dip. The
• 4:23
  move to transfer the family's remaining steake in Big Blue
• 4:26
  into a trust will allow seventy seven year old Tish
• 4:29
  and siblings Lorie and Jonathan to pass their ownership to
• 4:32
  their kids rather than face a possible revolt from fellow
• 4:37
  NFL owners. Now, I don't know if you folks have
• 4:39
  noticed this or not, but there's always an out for
• 4:42
  rich people, and this time it just happens to be.
• 4:45
  We're going to have a trust, and we'll put the
• 4:47
  team in the trust and our kids will have it,
• 4:49
  so no real penalties, right, not like they're really losing anything.
• 4:54
  Just mister Tish will no longer be part of the
• 4:57
  day to day operations. But it's not like the family
• 4:59
  is going to have to sell the team, right, That's
• 5:01
  not what's happening. What they're doing is putting it into
• 5:04
  a trust. The Tishes had already put most of their
• 5:07
  forty five percent ownership shared into the trust and only
• 5:10
  hold about ten percent of the team directly. According to sources,
• 5:15
  the move would lead the elder Tish siblings with no
• 5:17
  direct ownership of the team if the NFL's finance Committee
• 5:22
  approved the move, first reported by ESPN. And I think
• 5:25
  they're going to do that. Do you really think the
• 5:28
  NFL wants to deal with a bunch of bullshit? I
• 5:31
  don't think so. They got enough problems as it is.
• 5:34
  I'm sure we'll have five or six players who beat
• 5:36
  their wives show up on the scene soon, so the
• 5:40
  NFL doesn't need any other problems. And my guess is
• 5:45
  they were involved in whatever decision was made here, So
• 5:50
  I would look for the NFL to okay this and
• 5:53
  for this to be the way the Giants ownership is
• 5:56
  structured moving forward, at least for the foreseeable future. The
• 6:03
  team is estimated to be the third most valuable in
• 6:05
  the NFL, worth ten point three billion according to Forbes.
• 6:10
  The Mara family, which founded the Giants in nineteen twenty five,
• 6:14
  owns a controlling steak in the franchise. The Koch family
• 6:17
  bought a ten percent steak last year. Oh everybody loves them. Huh,
• 6:21
  the Cokes. I remember a few years ago, that's all
• 6:25
  anybody ever talked about. Oh, the Koch brothers are ruining
• 6:28
  the country. The Koch brothers. This the Koch brother is
• 6:30
  that whatever happened to those dudes. But Tish's influence over
• 6:35
  the team may not vanish with the move. The billionaire
• 6:39
  is expected to retain his seat as chairman of the
• 6:42
  Giants board, and his siblings will still hold their seats
• 6:45
  as director and treasurer. Front Office Sports reported, So what
• 6:50
  kind of move is this? Really? Not real punishment? Right?
• 6:55
  What's he losing out on? Not being part of the
• 6:57
  day to day operations, not losing out any money, I
• 7:00
  can promise you that. So really, in my opinion, what
• 7:03
  it comes down to is nothing but optics, And unfortunately
• 7:07
  that's what a lot of this stuff is. They're making
• 7:10
  these moves because they feel like they have to. Not
• 7:13
  because they feel guilty, not because you know they're taking responsibility.
• 7:17
  They're doing it so they don't cause their bank accounts
• 7:20
  any Oddjita, that's why they're doing it. Well, you think
• 7:25
  mister Tish all of a sudden had come to Jesus
• 7:28
  moment and he felt bad. My guess is, people like
• 7:32
  mister Tish never feel bad about anything unless it has
• 7:36
  to do with losing money. A team source said the
• 7:41
  Tish family had long planned to transfer the remainder of
• 7:44
  its direct ownership around this time, despite the announcement coming
• 7:48
  just days ahead of the NFL's owner meeting. Oh, I'm sure.
• 7:51
  I'm sure this was all in the works. They think
• 7:56
  you're stupid, and they're still trying to cover for mister Tish.
• 8:00
  And keep in mind, what we're talking about here is
• 8:02
  not just an email. Was this dude getting traffic girls
• 8:06
  from Jeffrey Epstein? Did Jeffrey Epstein hook him up with
• 8:09
  girls that Epstein had coerced and captured into basically human slavery?
• 8:16
  Those seem like decent questions to ask. No. The Tisch
• 8:21
  family has co owned the Giant since nineteen ninety one,
• 8:24
  but trouble has been brewing since. Steve's name appeared at
• 8:27
  least four hundred and forty times in the Epstein files
• 8:30
  recently released by the Department of Justice. And again, they're
• 8:33
  not emails that are talking about the weather or you
• 8:36
  know about the giants, talking about women and girls, and
• 8:41
  knowing what we know about what Epstein was up to,
• 8:45
  it's very concerning. He had several eyebrow raising email exchanges
• 8:52
  with a disgraced financier in twenty thirteen, where they spoke
• 8:56
  ludely of women's bodies and reminisced about hanging out at
• 9:00
  Epstein's home. Oh, I can only imagine what they were
• 9:03
  up to. Do you really think that mister Tish wasn't
• 9:06
  getting a massage over at Epstein's house? Hemos certainly was.
• 9:11
  Now what kind of massage it was, Eh, that's up
• 9:14
  for debate, but it's not debatable that they were getting massages.
• 9:19
  I don't think you go to Epstein's house and not
• 9:21
  get a massage working girl. In one email, Tish even
• 9:25
  asked if a woman whom Epstein described as exotic and
• 9:29
  Tahshian was a working girl. Other exchanges referenced foreign women
• 9:34
  from Ukraine and Russia, while Epstein expressed caution about having
• 9:38
  their communications and writing, Well, he knew and Ukraine and Russia.
• 9:45
  What was Steve Tish doing and why was he getting
• 9:47
  girls from there? He couldn't just get an escort from America.
• 9:51
  He had to go through Jeffrey Epstein to get a
• 9:53
  girl from Ukraine or Russia. Doesn't that seem odd to
• 9:57
  anybody else out there? My dude has more money than
• 10:01
  God himself. If this is how he wants to get down,
• 10:04
  why does Epstein have to be involved at all? Well,
• 10:06
  in my opinion, I'll tell you why. It's because they're
• 10:08
  fellow travelers and they have the same proclivities. Maybe not
• 10:12
  underage girls, but it's obvious that mister Tish has an
• 10:15
  appetite for what Jeffrey Epstein's serving up. Tish has not
• 10:21
  been accused of any crime associated with Epstein and has
• 10:25
  expressed remorse for the time that he spent with them. Well,
• 10:28
  why didn't you come out ahead of time and talk
• 10:30
  about it? Why didn't you come out when Epstein was
• 10:33
  arrested and say, you know what, I spend time with
• 10:36
  that jerk off. He's a disgusting piece of trash and
• 10:39
  I should have never spent time with him. Well, you
• 10:41
  couldn't have done that, right, because you were up to
• 10:44
  no good yourself. So you couldn't blow his doors open,
• 10:48
  because you'd expose your own filth, just like the whole
• 10:51
  entire situation surrounding Epstein. Oh why didn't the Biden administration
• 10:56
  expose this? Well, they'd expose their own people, and they
• 10:59
  weren't ready to do it, That's why. And the same
• 11:03
  goes for people like Tish. He could have came out,
• 11:05
  he could have come forward, he could have given information
• 11:08
  about what went down. But no, So now reap what
• 11:12
  you've sown, and I don't care about your reputation. We
• 11:16
  had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women,
• 11:20
  and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments. Tish
• 11:24
  said in a statement. I did not take him up
• 11:27
  on any of his invitations and never went to his island.
• 11:31
  As we all know now, he was a terrible person
• 11:34
  and someone I deeply regret associating with. The NFL said
• 11:38
  in February that it was aware of the emails between
• 11:41
  Tish and Epstein, and we'll look into the matter. Oh,
• 11:45
  I'm sure they looked into it. And they told Tish
• 11:47
  it was time to go. It's not unheard of for
• 11:51
  sports owners to be forced out of their league for
• 11:54
  their indiscretions. Former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was
• 11:58
  banned for life from in two thousand and four after
• 12:02
  he was caught making racist comments on a tape conversation
• 12:05
  with his ex girlfriend. Yo. Imagine owning an NBA team
• 12:09
  and making racist comments. I'm sure your employees are gonna
• 12:12
  love that. Steve Tish's father, Bob, bought into the Giants
• 12:16
  in nineteen ninety one. Bob Tish made a fortune with
• 12:20
  his brother Lawrence, demolishing movie theaters and selling the property
• 12:24
  through their Lowes Corporation. NYPD commissioner Jessica Tish is a
• 12:29
  granddaughter of Lawrence Tish. So look, folks, I highly doubt
• 12:33
  that mister Tish is going to be the last person
• 12:36
  that we see stepping down due to their ties with
• 12:40
  Jeffrey Epstein. And I don't feel bad about any of it.
• 12:43
  They only have themselves to blame. Nobody told them to
• 12:46
  hang out with that dude. Nobody told them to try
• 12:48
  and have him hook them up with women. So, as
• 12:50
  the saying goes, you made this bad mister Tish and
• 12:54
  now you have to lie in it. All the information
• 12:58
