KING: Welcome back. Hillary Clinton raising eyebrows for responses she gave during a CBS interview that aired Sunday. She says she played no role in criticizing any of the women who accused her husband Bill Clinton of sexual assault in the early '90s.

What do you say? What is the answer? We didn't have anything perfectly or, you know, just to say --</s>RAJU: We made mistakes. You can</s>JOHNSON: Yes. There's a better answer than I think reiterating for everybody why you lost the campaign.</s>KING: That's a good way to put it. The why three weeks before a consequential giant election critical to the rebuilding of the Democratic Party.</s>MARTIN: Well, you're a central figure in lot of these races too, John.
