1
00:00:01,425 --> 00:00:04,981
– I'm Carl Sciortino, and I'll never forget that conversation with my dad.

2
00:00:04,981 --> 00:00:06,182
– That's me!

3
00:00:06,182 --> 00:00:07,565
– Where I had to come out and tell him...

4
00:00:07,565 --> 00:00:08,770
– Wait for this...

5
00:00:08,770 --> 00:00:11,372
– ...that I was a Massachusetts liberal.

6
00:00:11,372 --> 00:00:13,001
– And he's proud of it!

7
00:00:13,001 --> 00:00:14,397
– Dad's in the Tea Party.

8
00:00:14,397 --> 00:00:15,854
– Damn right!

9
00:00:15,854 --> 00:00:16,982
– [laughs]

10
00:00:16,982 --> 00:00:20,732
– It was bad enough, him picking on the big banks and corporations in the legislature.

11
00:00:20,732 --> 00:00:22,681
– They weren't paying their fair share in taxes.

12
00:00:22,681 --> 00:00:24,680
– And he wrote the buffer zone law!

13
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,483
– To protect women entering abortion clinics from harassment.

14
00:00:27,483 --> 00:00:29,435
– It's gone all the way to the supreme court!

15
00:00:29,435 --> 00:00:31,647
I was kind of proud of that.

16
00:00:31,647 --> 00:00:33,520
– But here's the one that drives him crazy.

17
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,480
– He wants to go to Congress to take on the NRA and the Tea Party!

18
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:39,524
– I won't give up on an assault weapons ban.

19
00:00:39,524 --> 00:00:43,271
– Or universal background checks, or banning high-capacity magazines...

20
00:00:43,271 --> 00:00:45,736
– There are some things you don't stop fighting for.

21
00:00:45,736 --> 00:00:47,527
– [sighs]

22
00:00:47,527 --> 00:00:49,315
– Also, the right to choose, equal pay for women,

23
00:00:49,315 --> 00:00:52,410
and equal rights for... well, everybody.

24
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:55,057
– He's been like this for 35 years.

25
00:00:55,057 --> 00:00:57,063
– That's why I approve this message!

26
00:00:57,063 --> 00:00:58,916
And I still love you, Dad.

27
00:00:58,916 --> 00:01:00,583
– Me too, son.
