In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet...
For just a moment
A yellow sky
I was twelve when my mother died.
she was holding me..
we were sick and she was holding me

To comment on Chef Andres’s statement.... Puerto Rican’s are not immigrants. As American citizens, Puerto Rican’s do not migrate to the “main land”. They simply move there.
he is a immigrant from Spain
You right
@Carlos Baez Lin-Manuel was born in NY to Puerto Rican parents. Chef Andres was born in Spain.
Good man. I support statehood for Puerto Rico. Not that it would solve everything, but at least they would have equal representation in Congress and in the eyes of all americans.
I know you said that thinking is good , but why we dont have our freedom ? Why we can be free like the rest of the countries ? We are an invaded and military occupied nation with a different language , customs and culture and invaded nations at the end only have one destiny and is freedom.
@@guajon1 Well, if that is the choice of Puertoricans, then I respect it, they should decide. But I feel that staying a territory of the US (neither independent nor an US state) is detrimental to the Island. I will also say this: most countries in the world have been invaded at one point in history, which almost always results in a population that has multiple identities. If Puerto Rico were to become independent, some would feel their american side is taken away. In theory, the US constitution allows a state to have its own language and culture. Plus, look at other islands in the West Indies, most are "americanized" anyway. I'm not sure independence would make it easier for you to preserve your identity and culture. What do you think?
@@guajon1 So, you're saying that no U.S. aid should be given to Puerto Rico?
@@jonothandoeser If we become independent not need for that, we can have agreements with USA and other countries in the world and in our case after 120 years or more of relation and 100 years as American citizens we can be the best partner. What we need is the power as a free nation to develop our economy and stop the dependence.
@@georgethompson3763 Choice is when you decide the color of your car or what to wear or eat, for an invaded nation freedom is a right not a choice. And yes staying as a colony is not only detrimental for us but a shame to the USA to keep a colony in the 21 century
As a Puerto Rican an a young artist myself I see Lin Manuel Miranda as an inspiration for all Latinx people. He was able to reach out to the Island and help fund the island when it seemed like no one was going to. Thank you Lin from the depths of my heart for all you have done not only as an artist but for the island as well!! I hope one day I can be just like you! Congratulations to you and the cast and may you and the cast have a FANTASTIC run!
Gracias Lin🇵🇷
Or at leats make an exception to jones law for PR, it makes everything shipped more expensive by literally taxing it twice.
I thought they already made an exception
@@jonothandoeser just for a week or two after the hurricane
AH! Ok, well they still seem to be looking into a permanent waiver for Puerto Rico.

@@jonothandoeser and hopefully for the neighboring St Thomas and the rest of the US Virgin Islands
Not only is it double tax, its a double overall fee because the shipment has to travel to florida and then again to the original destination.
Lin Manuel used to live in my building in Inwood, New York
Diego Fernandez lucky
Lucky!
Really appreciate you Lin Manuel , your Dad, and David for the great coverage on CBS news. Thank you!
Lin's looking more gorgeous than normal lately... Don't you agree?
Mauro Telles absolutely !!
"Everything daddy is doing on that stage is pretend." Lin calling himself daddy is adorable, not that no other parent does it, but there's something about the way he says it that gets to me. Love you, Lin.
What a great person and artist Lin Manuel is!
"Who are going to make it great again"
Can we talk about this please... It couldn't have been irony
forgive my student loans..
Charlie OConnor me too
Question, would Hamilton have forgiven the debt? What would Hamilton have done?
I think the bigger question is, is that debt going to get forgiven now? It's all well and fun to speculate but in reality, Hamilton's not here. And Puerto Rico is in desperate need of it now.
Evalynn
Interesting how you can make a career off of Hamilton without gleaning some lessons from his central role, namely how he got the U.S out of debt.
It’s not like PR owes that money to the U.S government, they went around selling bonds for 40 years to bankers and investors and never paid them back.
Even if it was forgiven nobody would ever invest in the country given that their word means nothing, so what then? Debt forgiveness and then loans to rebuild?
Again Hamilton has a lot to say about situations like this that is very insightful.
@@jollybekson1736 You do realize that was centuries ago right? And things have changed?
Evalynn
Of course, I’m just pointing out the irony of celebrating him without realizing why he should be celebrated, namely the work he did for getting the U.S out of debt.
The reason you study the past is to learn from it.
One of Hamilton's biggest accomplishments was to have the federal government assume the state's debts to allow everyone to pay them together and for the states that were struggling to recover and then build credit for the US. I don't see why he'd see the need for anything different when it came to Puerto Rico, maybe not forgive it but have the US assume their debt so they can focus on recovery and not have that over them. But that's an important point about learning for the past.
Dad bod Lin is the best Lin
4:25 it’s gonna take independence and decolonization
Hey here's an idea, change the laws pertaining to how we do US territory operates so that it can actually file for bankruptcy, or so that the law can then be amended. Better yet give it something more akin to statehood, heck actual statehood, considering that its status as a commonwealth was meant from the beginning to be temporary!
Good idea, PR has been saying that for years
It's not our fault PR isn't a state, it's PR's. They have to choose to pursue statehood, and they haven't decided whether they want to or whether they should pursue independence instead.
I Commend all of you LIn and All the actors. GREAT JOB! Mi Isla! and yours! VIVA PUERTO RICO!
Viva Puerto Rico Libre! 🇵🇷
Hey portoricans, lets stop talking about hurricane Maria, specially portoricans living in tha USA. It kinda like "the flavor of the month" since Sept 2017. Stop pretending the rest of the world to feel sorry for us. Let it go. Smfh. Just get up every day and go to work, stop the excessive partying, save for the future and raise a decent family.
Ya linn m. why don't you donate all your earnings to p.r. and stop asking American tax payers to pay for it,
Awesome 👍🏼🇵🇷🇺🇸
Should recover the corrupt distribution of funds.
I can't hate on this guy anymore.
How about he sends some of his money and his rich friends money to p.r.
I'm not crying at the sight of Dorado ... totally not crying.
It's so beautiful there!
Jayma Ojeda , I know 😢
I need to go back to my hometown 🌴🏄♀️🏖☀️
My Shot is my anthem!
Lyn & David! El dúo dinámico 💪💪 Los amo 😘😘
We puerto ricans are proud to be americans but i dont feel america feels the same way sometimes . This work is amazing!
How was this published yesterday when last night was the first performance? Is it a dress rehearsal they’re talking about?
Yes, a dress rehearsal
I am just crying. Thank you so much for being here in Puerto Rico. Thank you all for what you people do. I am in tears. I hope I had just the chance to see it. My house is still broken.
This clip has been edited. The white newscaster lady forgets Puerto Rico is an US territory 👎🏾
Lin I love you bb💛
Lin Manuel, David and the Chef are very fond of the island! Thanks a lot!
Deja a que lo coja la coma y le saque la verdad buscon. Viva la comay
Favor de leer mi respuesta a Elba Rosa bajo reply de: Ruizart..
Arriva Lin! Mahalo nui loa, y Aloha nui, kanaka aina a o ke honua!
He is such an angel, honestly.
Ha ! Theyut the part where one of them said oh and being a immigrant your parents being immigrants lol she doesn't know Puerto Rico is Part of USA
They took the original video down and uploaded this edited version! How embarrassing
I got mad but I like how he took so calm down and explained to this lady the Puerto Rico is part of USA
VIVA PUERTO RICO STAND FOR RIGHTS WHAT WE ARE ABOUT😊😊😊😊😊😊☝ONE
Is forgive the debt a campaign? Sorry for my ignorance, but if it is, I’m all for it!
I'm scrolling down to the comments for discourse, and not disappointed!
AAmerica has changed. George W Bush didn't pledge to rebuild New Orleans and Trump treated Puerto Rico as though it was some third world country. That's okay. Large corporations can take advantage of global stability and push the defense bills into America's debt. Make America great again.
Gracias desde Ponce, Puerto Rico!!!
Gotta love that nerd Pokémon reference...
I always lisen to “My shot” for inspiration
Forgive my debt too while you're at it!
love this
I think he meant like Goku not a pokemon
🖐🏼🇵🇷💯👍🏼♥️♥️
We love you, Lin Manuel.
Somehow, Lin manages to stay dignified, humble, friendly, etc. even under the constant magnifying glass lately. He's such a mensch. :)
Gracias
5:41 tho 😂
Yes!
This huracan changed your life Lin-Manuel Miranda. Puerto Rico is blessed to have you 🙏❤️🇵🇷
U
This guy is a hoax. He can pay for the debt.
I named my teddy bear after this multi-talented guy... 🤗💜👏🏻
Lo más importante para echar mi isla es dejar la política y escuchar al pueblo!
ABSOLUTELY señor! The amazing people of the Isla Del Encanto deserve to be heard, and not continue to be political pawns!
Cambiar de mentalidad unirse y escoger un buen Gobierno que trabaje para la Isla y no para sus bolsillos.
@@eugeniasantiago23 Es que no hay nadie bueno que se postule , nombra uno.
Thank you Lin Manuel ! We love you and are in debt with you.
Lin Manuel is an International treasure!
I love❤Puerto Rico!! I love ❤Lin- Manuel!! Gracias por compartir!!
Lin, as a fellow idealist, I understand your passion, but we can't forgive Puerto Rico's debts until Puerto Rico DECIDES what they will do with that forgiveness. Otherwise we're just facilitating an unhealthy addiction to government aid, and that will destroy Puerto Rico entirely. Puerto Rico's biggest fault is their indecisiveness. That's why it's taking them so long to recover. Here's hoping Hamilton's resolve in the face of his island's hurricane will inspire them.
Lin..I am so proud of you...That I don't even have words of appreciation to everything you have done and continue doing for my islan.... all I can say is God Bless You!!!
Love this two mans. One because always report the true of Puerto Rico David and Miranda because your love for Puerto Rico and feeling proud of your nationality. Thanks
I love Puerto Rico, but we have enough debt on the US mainland.
So we can keep going into debt to give the rich tax cuts and to buy bombs and planes but not to help Puerto Rico recover from a hurricane? Is that where we want our priorities to be?
rene tobar ........PR is not asking for a hand out .......they simply want to restructure their debt like detroit did in filing for chapter 9 bankruptcy. If I'm not mistaken detroit is coming back .....so why can't puerto rico do the same ?? Not to mention in necessary JONES ACT that doubles if not triples the tax on inport/exported good from the ports of puerto rico. It's jacking up prices on goods in puerto rico to a people that are already not making any kind of real money.
Imaging detroit in their past financial condition ....except that everything they receive or ship out gets taxed 2 to three times the amount from every other state ??? A 2 liter soda costing $2 dollars in boston .......in detroit ....would be paying $ 7 to $ 8 dollars . Sounds fair to you ????? A bit exaggerated ....but just trying to make you see how just a portion of this debt came about. Puerto Rico has capablilites to pay into the treasury . Back in 2016 they paid 3.5 billion dollars toward the treasury.
It's a bunch of little stupid laws , acts and crooked business practices done by both local and US federal government that is a major reason why puerto rico's debt is so huge that most folks do not know about. What's sad is that no one wants to help . All it takes is for someone to simply eliminate the jones act......and allow PR to file for bankruptcy so that they can restructure their debt .......not eliminate it.
haven't we had enough of actors telling us what we should do? I know I have. F Hamilton anyway.
How dare people who just happen to be actors have political opinions.
@@CyanAnn - we all have opinions. telling me yours like it means more than mine is the problem. it's a problem because actors and musicians aren't any smarter than you or I. in fact, they are often visibly dumber and yet we constantly hear their ridiculous opinions like they mean something. of course, all of this is just my opinion.
