Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sat down with Today , Explained 's John Sutter on Saturday at SXSW in Austin , Texas .

Walz: "I felt like the messaging from the Democrats was muddled at that joint session. Some didn’t show up at all. Some left early, some wore pink and held up these feeble signs that said, “False!” or “This is not normal”.

You didn't swing a single swing state in your direction in the 2016 election, says Sen. Ted Cruz .

Cruz: "I would have taken back getting myself sucked into the conversation around what was happening in Springfield , Ohio , since that election" Cruz : I think I come down on Trump ’s side on Daylight Savings Time , and I’m with him: "We should get rid of the penny".

It's not like we're blindly loyal, like, you know, the Trump folks are, but it's okay to criticize people you like.

I think we need to name [racism] when it happens, but also need to tell the average person — who I do not believe is racist, but [who] doesn’t understand what we’re saying.
