evan, nia-malika, jeffrey, dana, thank you all for the analysis. really helpful. >>> now to this, the capitol police chief told lawmakers today the force is quote absolutely better prepared to defend the capitol. but the challenge is dealing with those threats to lawmakers. >> cnn's whitney wild joins us from washington. tell us what more did the chief say? >> reporter: he pointed out there are dueling issues, issues that the capitol has to protect against a large scale demonstration, the event that there's going to be a january 6th seems minimal. the reality is they have to deal with a flood of people all the time so the capitol police chief is trying to weigh how to make sure to shore up the capitol, and he says he's done that through this 25-page blueprint that they have to prepare for tomorrow. basically what they have done is created a blueprint for these big large scale events. we saw it september 18th when there was a demonstration, justice for january 6th, a way to bring justice to the rioters that had been mistreated in the d.c. jail, a fa

that's for nia-malika henderson. >> listen, i think it is a stark message.hink it is a clear message. i think it is a message that points to the racist past of the filibuster, the way it has been used historically to block the advancement of civil rights. so he is pointing to that. barack obama called it a relic of jim crow, biden agreed with that. i don't think this will work in terms of pulling republicans to the side of democrats because of all of the things that ron brownstein just laid out. for decades they've tried to make it more difficult for people to vote across this country and democrats have been on the other side of that. they are playing catch-up now, right. biden at this point goes down to georgia, the cradle of civil rights, to make this big speech, but it is probably too late if you think about what's already happened in states across the country to make it much more difficult to vote. also, to make the counting of votes a much more partisan, republican-controlled effort in some of these states as well. >> yeah. you know, the people who have

with us now, cnn political analyst, thinkia malika henderson. and also, fareed zakaria, host of fareed zakaria gps here on cnn. dana, what are you hearing from your source about how the president did how they think the president did and how democrats are -- are feeling tonight? >> well, people i checked in with just when it comes to the political calendar are some house democrats. those who are in the most competitive seats and the word i had back was a couple things. number one, they were happy that he was open to the notion of breaking up his massive spending bill that is stuck in the senate. and doing so piecemeal which he revealed today in his press conference because it shows a willingness to -- to change in order to get things done. and just on the performance part of it, um, the fact that he spoke for almost two hours -- i was getting texts during the press conference from some political operatives saying make it stop. but from the -- another political perspective it was -- the response i got was well it shows that he has stamina -- which

nia-malika henderson, thank you. we're following this major breaking news this hour, the supreme court justice stephen breyer, we are told, plans to retire. that decision, of course, means president biden gets to nominate his replacement in the thick of this mid-term election year. justice breyer is 83 years old. he is expected, we are told, to stay on the bench until the end of this term and until -- this is an important condition -- until his replacement is confirmed by the united states senate. president biden has said in the past he would nominate a black woman if given a first pick. let's bring in our court analyst, joan biskupic. it's a big decision for him to make which then hands his friend, the president of the united states, an even bigger decision. >> reporter: that's right. he's known joe biden for a long time, and, you know, this will give president biden the chance -- the first time in 12 years that a democratic president is going to be able to name someone to a lifetime seat on the supreme court, and y

it because the european council, under the leadership of mrs. malika was not capable to do it. the part you had done was got forest lo said they would get it on. they forgot they had a car, sorry. the commission launched the procedure on it. and european court of justice also took its responsibility. the only institution would didn't take into responsibility was the european council. and i think my expectation is that with new german government arriving empower now. this will change and we will see really european union who is active using the instruments or to make sure that the values in european union also applied in countries like poland and hungary. you've criticized european leaders for lack of courage. you said the, the instruments, for instance, with ad for dealing with rule of law issues in pakistan and hungry to exist it. the instruments exist. you said only the courage among leaders is failing. so why do you think you leaders are so gutless on this issue? the of for the simple reason at that in the council, everything is decided between them. i have never seen in eur

the terrorist who held a rabbi and three others hostage is identified as a british citizen named malikahe was shot dead after letting those he held hostage go, late last night the fbi says the standoff was not an attack on the jewish community even though it happened at a synagogue. >> we believe from our engagement with the suspect he was focused on one issue and not specifically related to the jewish community but we will work to find a motive and we will continue on that path. lara: during the standoff the terrorist called himself a brother of lady al-qaeda a convicted terrorist who is serving an 86 year prison sentence for trying to kill the u.s. military officers. today president biden would not say anything about a possible motive but he did make the standoff about guns. where is president biden, too busy making this about gun control. >> allegedly he purchases on the street. what that means, i don't know. the idea of background checks are critical but you cannot stop something like this if somebody is on the street buying from sobey else on the street. there are so many guns and
