the stress of a campaign.

363
00:18:48,917 --> 00:18:50,291
- I think Koch loved him

364
00:18:50,375 --> 00:18:51,917
because he was authentic

365
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,667
and he was as brash
as Koch was.

366
00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:57,125
I was in
the administration already.

367
00:18:57,208 --> 00:18:59,417
I was in
a leadership training program,

368
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:04,000
and there is this obnoxious...

369
00:19:04,083 --> 00:19:06,792
leader who wouldn't stop.

370
00:19:06,875 --> 00:19:08,625
You would say something,

371
00:19:08,709 --> 00:19:11,750
respond to his question,

372
00:19:11,834 --> 00:19:13,750
and he was never satisfied,

373
00:19:13,834 --> 00:19:15,959
and he would just get
more and more irate

374
00:19:16,041 --> 00:19:17,333
and belligerent,

375
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:21,417
and so we finished the session.
I said, "Who was that asshole?"

376
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,458
- I think part of the reason
why Koch liked him is because

377
00:19:23,542 --> 00:19:25,917
he was a Puerto Rican version
of Koch.

378
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
There's a bluntness
about Luis.

379
00:19:29,083 --> 00:19:32,333
He can be absolutely unsparing

380
00:19:32,417 --> 00:19:34,792
in his criticisms

381
00:19:34,875 --> 00:19:38,000
of the people that he's trying
to bring together.

382
00:19:38,083 --> 00:19:39,875
He doesn't pull any punches,

383
00:19:39,959 --> 00:19:42,375
and I think
Koch probably appreciated that.

384
00:19:42,458 --> 00:19:44,333
- You know, I am not someone

385
00:19:44,417 --> 00:19:48,166
who turns the other cheek
if you hit me, right?

386
00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:49,333
I hit back.

387
00:19:49,417 --> 00:19:52,500
- Also, one of the things
that Luis was able to do

388
00:19:52,583 --> 00:19:54,667
at a critical moment
during the Koch years

389
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:58,000
was to recognize
that the story of New York

390
00:19:58,083 --> 00:20:02,333
by the 1980s wasn't just going
to be a Puerto Rican story.

391
00:20:02,417 --> 00:20:04,667
- I knew in my position

392
00:20:04,750 --> 00:20:07,166
that Puerto Ricans were

393
00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:12,041
the largest numbers of Latinos

394
00:20:12,125 --> 00:20:14,625
and the one that voted,

395
00:20:14,709 --> 00:20:17,375
but I began to see

396
00:20:17,458 --> 00:20:20,083
the large numbers

397
00:20:20,166 --> 00:20:23,041
of Dominicans, of Colombians,

398
00:20:23,125 --> 00:20:24,583
of Ecuadorians

399
00:20:24,667 --> 00:20:27,875
that were moving
into the city,

400
00:20:27,959 --> 00:20:31,166
and then
President Reagan approved

401
00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:33,208
the amnesty law.

402
00:20:33,291 --> 00:20:34,625
- President Reagan
today signed

403
00:20:34,709 --> 00:20:36,709
a massive
immigration reform law.

404
00:20:36,792 --> 00:20:39,542
The new law grants amnesty
to illegal aliens

405
00:20:39,625 --> 00:20:42,166
who lived here before 1982.

406
00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:46,208
I saw that
as an incredible opportunity

407
00:20:46,291 --> 00:20:49,208
to reach out to other Latinos

408
00:20:49,291 --> 00:20:52,375
to open government to them.

409
00:20:52,458 --> 00:20:53,458
[percussive music]

410
00:20:53,542 --> 00:20:57,250
- What he did was
quite innovative.

411
00:20:57,333 --> 00:21:00,583
He used the power
of the numbers

412
00:21:00,667 --> 00:21:02,250
by doing research.

413
00:21:02,333 --> 00:21:03,917
How many were registered?

414
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,917
How many were voting?

415
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,583
And then transferring that data

416
00:21:09,667 --> 00:21:10,917
into action

417
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,083
to say to elected officials,

418
00:21:14,166 --> 00:21:17,291
"This is a growing population

419
00:21:17,375 --> 00:21:20,750
"that not only are
your constituents.

420
00:21:20,834 --> 00:21:23,417
"We are here,
and we're gonna stay here,

421
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:27,917
and we intend to flex
our political muscle."

422
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,417
[upbeat music]

423
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,041
- There's
an indispensable person

424
00:21:32,125 --> 00:21:33,959
in our community.

425
00:21:34,041 --> 00:21:35,792
I nominate Luis Miranda.

426
00:21:35,875 --> 00:21:38,875
[cheers and applause]

427
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,458
- Sorry, Ed, I can't
produce the show tonight.

428
00:21:43,542 --> 00:21:44,583
No.
[laughter]

429
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:47,709
Okay.

430
00:21:48,375 --> 00:21:52,667
- Luis has this talent
of bringing people together.

431
00:21:52,750 --> 00:21:54,458
He also has a gift
for fundraising,

432
00:21:54,542 --> 00:21:56,291
which is not unimportant.

433
00:21:56,375 --> 00:21:57,709
[punchy music]

434
00:22:05,083 --> 00:22:08,083
[all singing a cappella]

435
00:22:22,417 --> 00:22:25,667
[cheers and applause]

436
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:27,083
- I always thought

437
00:22:27,166 --> 00:22:30,667
about my next step,

438
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:34,166
and now that I have been
in this Latino lane

439
00:22:34,250 --> 00:22:36,333
and have
pretty good connections

440
00:22:36,417 --> 00:22:39,333
in government,
in the nonprofit sector,

441
00:22:39,417 --> 00:22:43,000
it's probably
a good moment to move

442
00:22:43,083 --> 00:22:45,667
into doing my own thing.

443
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:47,875
[upbeat music]

444
00:22:47,959 --> 00:22:49,458
- When I became elected

445
00:22:49,542 --> 00:22:50,500
and when I emerge

446
00:22:50,583 --> 00:22:52,333
as member of the DNC
and all this stuff,

447
00:22:52,417 --> 00:22:55,041
Luis was my Sancho Panza.

448
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:56,208
Let's put it that way.

449
00:22:56,291 --> 00:23:00,041
But Luis was always the guy
telling me,

450
00:23:00,125 --> 00:23:01,709
"This is measurable.

451
00:23:01,792 --> 00:23:03,583
"These are the things
that are right.

452
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:05,417
These are the things
that are wrong."

453
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:09,709
- Roberto came to me and said,

454
00:23:09,792 --> 00:23:14,000
"I met with this guy
who's running for the Senate.

455
00:23:14,083 --> 00:23:16,834
"His name is Chuck Schumer,

456
00:23:16,917 --> 00:23:19,375
"and I think
it's a good campaign

457
00:23:19,458 --> 00:23:22,667
for you to begin to do
some work."

458
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:25,041
- Next--what is it--senator?

459
00:23:25,125 --> 00:23:26,750
- Your mouth to God's ears.
- [laughs]

460
00:23:26,834 --> 00:23:29,208
- Congressman Charles Schumer
has his sights

461
00:23:29,291 --> 00:23:30,417
on the U.S. Senate.

462
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:33,000
Tonight, Schumer is
officially in the race

463
00:23:33,083 --> 00:23:34,792
and faces a tough fight ahead.

464
00:23:34,875 --> 00:23:38,041
- The only real thing
that I learned

465
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:41,667
in my psych PhD was statistics,

466
00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:44,417
so I told him,
"I wanna see a poll."

467
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:47,750
He was, like, 5%.

468
00:23:47,834 --> 00:23:51,417
So I remember going to Roberto
and saying,

469
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:54,250
"Dude, I wanted to go
into politics,

470
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:57,041
"but I don't wanna start
my career

471
00:23:57,125 --> 00:24:00,917
with this guy
who has not a prayer."

472
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,875
Then I met with Chuck Schumer,

473
00:24:03,959 --> 00:24:06,291
and I was fascinated

474
00:24:06,375 --> 00:24:08,542
by his energy.

475
00:24:08,625 --> 00:24:09,834
- Atta-baby!

476
00:24:09,917 --> 00:24:11,917
- He was a good fundraiser,

477
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,625
and he was relentless

478
00:24:15,709 --> 00:24:18,917
in his conviction
that he could do the job.

479
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,208
So I took on the job

480
00:24:22,291 --> 00:24:26,291
doing the Latino part
of the campaign.

481
00:24:26,375 --> 00:24:30,333
- When Luis came on the scene,
there was a Latino community

482
00:24:30,417 --> 00:24:31,917
that was
basically not organized.

483
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,625
They didn't have
many elected officials,

484
00:24:33,709 --> 00:24:35,959
they didn't have people
in positions of power,

485
00:24:36,041 --> 00:24:40,333
and Luis knew how to take
the large numbers of Hispanics,

486
00:24:40,417 --> 00:24:42,291
but more importantly, the needs

487
00:24:42,375 --> 00:24:45,625
and channel it
into organizations

488
00:24:45,709 --> 00:24:47,667
that were powerful
and had effect,

489
00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:49,500
and you knew
as a political leader,

490
00:24:49,583 --> 00:24:52,959
when Luis asked for something,
people were gonna listen.

491
00:24:53,041 --> 00:24:54,458
[percussive music]

492
00:24:54,542 --> 00:24:55,959
I ran against Al D'Amato.

493
00:24:56,041 --> 00:24:57,667
He was a giant of the Senate,

494
00:24:57,750 --> 00:24:59,792
conservative Republican,

495
00:24:59,875 --> 00:25:02,291
and no one thought
I could beat him.

496
00:25:02,375 --> 00:25:04,166
- And Luz was like,

497
00:25:04,250 --> 00:25:06,333
"Alfonse D'Amato is a good guy.

498
00:25:06,417 --> 00:25:07,709
"Every time we have a problem,

499
00:25:07,792 --> 00:25:09,834
I call his office,
and they fix it."

500
00:25:09,917 --> 00:25:14,166
I'm like, "Not even my wife is
in favor of my candidate."

501
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,375
- When he took on
the Schumer race,

502
00:25:16,458 --> 00:25:17,667
this was a difficult race.

503
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:19,667
You know, in some ways, it was
a bit of a suicide mission.

504
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:24,375
- The Spanish campaign I did
was based on a slogan:

505
00:25:24,458 --> 00:25:28,166
"No te vistas que no vas."

506
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:30,375
And it was the motto,

507
00:25:30,458 --> 00:25:32,667
"Don't think
that you're going places.

508
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:36,000
You are not,
and we're gonna stop you."

509
00:25:36,083 --> 00:25:38,375
We got overwhelming support

510
00:25:38,458 --> 00:25:40,500
in the Latino community,
and then...

511
00:25:40,583 --> 00:25:42,125
[cheers and applause]
- I'm Chuck Schumer,

512
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:44,250
the next senator of New York.

513
00:25:44,333 --> 00:25:48,875
- He became the senator.

514
00:25:48,959 --> 00:25:51,375
And here comes
Hillary Clinton.

515
00:25:51,458 --> 00:25:54,875
She wants to run
for the Senate.

516
00:25:54,959 --> 00:25:57,667
- I am honored today

517
00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:59,583
to announce my candidacy

518
00:25:59,667 --> 00:26:03,709
for the United States Senate
from New York.

519
00:26:03,792 --> 00:26:05,333
- I get approached

520
00:26:05,417 --> 00:26:08,375
to work with her campaign.

521
00:26:08,458 --> 00:26:10,709
[patriotic orchestral music]

522
00:26:10,792 --> 00:26:14,041
So now, you know,
in a couple of years,

523
00:26:14,125 --> 00:26:17,417
we have the two senators
from the state of New York

524
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:20,250
as part of our portfolio.

525
00:26:20,333 --> 00:26:23,041
- Now Congressman
Adriano Espaillat,

526
00:26:23,125 --> 00:26:25,083
Mayor de Blasio,

527
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:26,208
Tish James,

528
00:26:26,291 --> 00:26:28,709
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

529
00:26:28,792 --> 00:26:30,750
- How he evolved

530
00:26:30,834 --> 00:26:33,959
in terms of identity politics,

531
00:26:34,041 --> 00:26:37,291
Luis became
a political consultant

532
00:26:37,375 --> 00:26:41,250
that was able to provide advice

533
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:42,875
and shape a message

534
00:26:42,959 --> 00:26:45,250
beyond the Latino community.

535
00:26:45,333 --> 00:26:47,125
[indistinct chatter]

536
00:26:47,208 --> 00:26:49,917
- It's wild here,
because we have a year ahead

537
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,959
with the appropriations bill,
with the farm bill...

538
00:26:53,041 --> 00:26:55,250
- As political operatives,
there weren't too many

539
00:26:55,333 --> 00:26:58,083
that were Latino
that crossed over.

540
00:26:58,166 --> 00:27:01,875
Luis mainstreamed

541
00:27:01,959 --> 00:27:04,083

as a result of that was
