being candid when he said this about defeating isis in syria: >> but i don't want to put the cart before the horse. we don't have a strategy yet. >> reporter: spokesman josh earnest said mr. obama is reviewing options from the pentagon, but has deemed them insufficient. >> the president hasn't yet laid out a specific plan for military action in syria, and the reason for that is simply that the pentagon is still developing that plan. >> reporter: military advisers say part of that plan must include air strikes in syria, the base of isis operations. yesterday, the president indicated a decision on air strikes was not imminent. >> there are some who probably would make the case that it's okay to not have a formulated, comprehensive strategy. that is not what the president believes is a smart approach. the president believes it's important for us to pursue a comprehensive strategy where military action is one component of that strategy. >> reporter: a senior adviser told us there's

early as monday, which could provide, for example, for confiscating the passports of anyone wanting to join isis or even revoking their citizenship while they're abroad so they can't come back. as you

videos, jihadists speak english. ha we have people from all over the world. >> reporter: the sophisticated campaign targeting europeans and americans is produced by the terror group's multilingual

come back home. so they're going to have-- they're going to come back hardened, disillusioned, trained, and that makes for a pretty tough situation. >> reporter: maurice, isis' propaganda outreach is so sophisticated, in part, because it's the western fighters with their media savvy who are bringing their knowledge to the fight. >> dubois: juliana goldman in our washington newsroom tonight. the

spinout. other drivers missed the 20- year-old, but stewart's car hit him. >> i know that the pain and mourning that kevin ward's family and friends are experiencing is something that i can't possibly imagine. every day, i'm thinking about him and praying for them. >> reporter: the three-time nascar champion has a reputation as one of racing's toughest drivers with a temper that has made him a fan favorite. there was none of that today. >> i also understand that all of you have many questions and want a lot of answers, but, however, i need to respect the ongoing investigation process. >> reporter: stewart's team said he sent flowers and a card to trd's family but has not spoken with them. a week after the accident, nascar adopted new rules prohibiting drivers from exiting their car after an on-track accident unless there's danger. trey boggs is camping outside atlanta motor speedway, waiting to see the race. nascar has changed the rules, mod idea or bad idea. >> good idea but

the proposed law. she says she learned no is not enough when she was raped by a fellow student. >> i had said no numerous times. but after a while, i just stopped saying anything at all. i don't think that had i said no nine times versus the eight ghmes that i did it would have made a difference, so i just stopped talking. and that could technically be used against me without this affirmative consent bill. >> reporter: the california bill is unique because it requires an e firmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement before students have sex. the legislation also says a lack of resistance or silence cannot be interpreted as a yes. ultimately, whether it's yes means yes or no means no, it's still going to be a he said/she said. >> that's always going to be a concern. what i can say is if a survivor goes to a hearing committee and says, "i was so scared i didn't say anything at all," before affirmative consent, that means that you could have been consenting. >> reporter: if the measure passes, it would apply to california colleges and universities receiving state financial aid. steve meister, a defense attorney specializing in sexual assault cases, thinks the proposed law is confusing and would make little difference. >> the more chances you give a sexual assault victim to talk and tell her story in different ways to different people, the more you create problems for the prosecutor and opportunities for the defense. and that's what this bill does. >> reporter: advocates say that this bill will provide a consistent standard that isn't currently in place and, maurice, california colleges and tiiversities will also have to improve their assault-prevention programs. >> dubois: teri okita in los angeles tonight. it is all systems go for nasa as it gets set to choose

"the post" says conservatives have exchanged privately right wing articles which highlight decades old connections to the muslim brotherhood and his work as a reporter covering osama bin laden. >> that is remarkable. let's bring in sarah westwood for analysis. we know jared kushner and mike pompeo want more time here. they want more time so the saudis can find someone to pin this on so they can move forward here. that's not the crown prince so they can move past this. >> the entire middle eastern policy is built over the realignment with saudi arabia that the trump administration pursued to counter iranian influence in the middle east. the iran piece of it is important because this week, the white house has been signaling it wants to move forward with more sanctions on iranian groups and individuals. they clearly want to keep up the campaign that has been championed by john bolton and mike pompeo and get rid of the nuclear contract that the obama administration pursued. if the trump administration is clearly reluctant to throw away all of the work they have done in reestablishing that firm alliance with saudi arabia. as you noticed and sources told cnn jared kushner has been withdrawn from the frontlines of the saudi arabia policy because he is under so much scrutiny for the fact he did champion crown prince muhammad bin salman and now that relationship is questioned in light of the khashoggi disappearance. >> the white house is waiting for this to blow over and saudis come up with a cover story and hoping it is not a midterm issue. here is how the president attempted to frame the midterms now 18 days away. last night in montana. >> this will be an election of kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order and common sense. it will be an election of those things. >> there's also another way the president went last night, sarah, not just kavanaugh and the caravan, but the new line that was crowd tested last night. >> the choice could not be more clear. democrats produce mobs. republicans produce jobs. >> now, of course, setting aside the fact that during the obama years, the line was government does not create jobs. the private sector does that. which of the two arguments resonates in the midterms? >> president trump has been trying to marry both. he is pointing the opposition to kavanaugh that they are extreme and they have mob-like tendencies. that has been echoed since president trump started rolling it out this month after kavanaugh was confirmed to the supreme court. now trump clearly trying to give himself some cover if republicans lose and he is not on the ballot, he brings up the fact he is not on the ballot. he doesn't want to accept the blame if republicans lose. he is banking on the fact it could bring republicans to the polls. that is the factor that is contributes to the predictions of the blue wave so president trump trying to use this mob language to make up that gap. there's less than three weeks left now and it is difficult to make up so much ground in so little time. >> when he is talking about the mobs. you hear him talking about assaulting or body slamming a reporter and the crowd goes wild and cheer and enthusiasm. a bit of irony there. let's talk about the democrats here. we have two running for senate who basically are running away from their party in doing so. listen here. >> i split with my own party to support funding for trump's border wall. the liberal left wants to chop defense spending. no way. >> are you a democrat? >> i am. >> proud democrat? >> oh, gosh. it is hard to say proud. i'm not sure that people are even proud of parties anymore. i feel the parties are not doing a good job. >> not doing a good job. that is joe donnelly and then kyrsten sinema. if you look at the polls, this may be working for them. >> that is right. there have been the two schools of thought in the democratic party. one is to double down on the progressive energy to make the party impose litmus tests on the candidates. that is what we will see in the 2020 primary. and the aggressive approach will not work in the country and democrats need to be given the space in middle america to fit their districts and states and adopt the moderate positions and what you are seeing is those democratic politicians who are running in states that supported trump where trump and republicans have high support are finding success if they seem more moderate. perhaps that is a lesson that democrats can take if the candidates are successful in the democratic primaries in 2019 and 2020. >> what we are seeing now 18 days out is the house going left and the senate going right. 18 days to find out. sarah, thanks. have a great weekend. last night at the montana rally, the president took a shot at senator elizabeth warren blasting his potential 2020 rival over the dna test she made public. >> the only good thing she did, and i think she disqualified herself. i can't call her pocahontas anymore. she has so little indian in her. i cannot call her pocahontas anymore. if you don't mind, i'll continue. do you mind? it will show everybody what a phony she is. >> senator warren's test revealed she is between 1/64 and 1/1000 native-american. democrats accusing trump of a clear conflict of interest on efforts to replace the fbi headquarters. government e-mails show the president was more involved than had been known scrapping plans to move the fbi out of the decaying hoover building to the washington suburbs. it may benefit the president financially. his hotel is one block away and could be in competition with any hotel built on the current fbi site. >> the hoover building will be replaced on the same site. according to the gsa inspector general. democrats released cite e-mails and one a top opfficial describs what potus instructed everyone to do. outgoing u.n. ambassador nikki haley drawing the biggest laugh at the alfred e. smith dinner in new york. she was the featured speaker at the catholic charities dinner. >> the president was here and made waves with his remarks. apparently no one here could have predicted that. so last year -- last year you we went with paul ryan who is a boy scout. that's fine, but a little boring. so this year you wanted to spice things up again, right? i get it. you wanted an indian woman, but elizabeth warren failed her dna test. >> good delivery. haley ended her remarks on a far more serious note. >> our toxic political environment, i heard some people in both parties describe their opponents as enemies or evil. in america, our political opponents are not evil. >> remember the president called democrats evil during the brett kavanaugh confirmation process. a very close call in america's longest war. a top u.s. commander in afghanistan narrowly escapes injury in the insider attack that killed a powerful police chief. more from the pentagon next. what's the #1 new skincare product in 2018?
