oh, no, there was nothing before-- you know who santorum is like? he's like the guy who shows up to the party late going, "oh, yeah, let's get this party started." no, my man, the party was going on for a few thousand years long before you got here with your whack-ass moves. there probably would have been more native american culture if their land hadn't been taken for pizza huts. as you know, coronavirus has been with us for over a year now. it has changed everything about our lives. we've lost jobs, we spend all day long on zoom, we've forgotten how to interact with people-- i don't even remember how to shake hands. like, do i grab the other person's hand, or do i just shake mine in front of their face? this is it, right? no? for a long time we've been sitting in our homes and washing our face masks, waiting for the day when things start to get back to normal. well, my friend, it looks like that day may finally be here. >> tonight the c.d.c.'s about-face changes daily life for all americans, especially those fully vaccinated, releasing this new ch

what rick santorum had to say is not surprising because rick santorum has been saying these things fora couple of minutes in a history class, assuming they still teach history class, that what he said is not true. he is still part of this legion of people who are sort of living in this fanciful mythical view of how this country was formed, how this country started. and were it not for projects like the 1619 project and a whole slew of books that have been out there that shows that this country's origins were not pure as they're portrayed. they were not beneficent as they've been portrayed. in making this country there was a lot of pain, there was a lot of killing and murder and genocide and a whole lot of other stuff that we as a nation more than 200 years after our founding, we still try to ignore. and if there is one silver lining about the year of hell that we've been through, and i'm not even talking about the pandemic. i'm talking about the killing, the murder of george floyd is that at least there are a few more eyes that are open to the history of this country and why these thin

amy: the national congress of american indians criticized cnn for not firing santorum.the group's president fawn sharp said -- "televising someone with his views on native american genocide is fundamentally no different than putting an outright nazi on television to justify the holocaust." and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i am amy goodman, joined by my co-host nermeen shaikh. hi, nermeen. nermeen: welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. amy: a warning to our viewers, footage in this segment will include disturbing images. india has topped 18.3 million covid-19 cases after adding one million new cases in just the past three days. at least 205,000 deaths have been reported since the start of the pandemic. over the past day, 380,000 new infections and 3645 deaths have been reported -- both record highs. researchers say the true toll of the pandemic is likely exponentially higher. in india's capital new delhi, one covid-19 death was being reported every fou

. >>> joining me is republican senator rick santorum. led by the former vice president mike pence, rick, nice to have you back. >> thanks, jim. great to be with up. >> so you are invested in this, yourself. you are a part of a bipartisan group, bobby jingle, julian castro, looking for regulatory form as it relates to infrastructure. but you are plugged into this issue. i wonder, what would a compromise bill look like if there is hope still of getting, say, ten republicans on board? what would it look like? what would the price tag be? what would be included? what would not be included? >> i would say it would be smaller. it would, include, obviously, the infrastructure that i think republicans embase, which is everything from roads, bridges, water, broadband, all those basic infrastructures for making us more competitive. i think republicans are bracing that it's all the other things that are in there, in that package, that, you know, some of which republicans would support, like paid family leave. things like that. the support for that

. >>> last thing before we go tonight is that guy, rick santorum.one-off cable stardom as republican guy on numerous cnn panel discussions where he's mastered the art of sounding candid while slowly migrating his positions from republican to full-on trumper. he ran for president for about ten minutes in 2016, got out after the iowa caucus. he has said his share of remarkable things over the years, comparing homosexuality to bestiality comes to mind, as does his use of the word nazis to describe the pro-choice crowd. when this surfaced, a portion of his remarks to the young america's foundation, it has to do with the first europeans arriving here. >> we birthed a nation from nothing. there was nothing here. yes, we had native americans, but candidly there isn't much native american culture in american culture. it was borne of the people who came here. >> you before being wiped out and then having their survivors segregated to this day. that's the history, but there's always another version. it's not unlike cable in that way. there is the history chan

politician called, i just want to get this name correct, because i haven't seen it lately, rick santorum, and i'm reading this horrible quote, "there isn't much native american culture in american culture." it's a disgusting comment. it shows how little he knows about american culture and history and its central importance, the central importance of native american history and culture to all of our history. and i guess the main thing is, if i were taking history or culture lessons, i would not take them from rick santorum. >> a fair point. i'm running over on time. in one sentence, cassidy, tell people what pass the mic is. >> pass is mic is a personal, intimate sing-along, in which i pass the mic from home to home, from legendary artist to legendary artist for them to sing along to the most iconic and prolific records. >> i love it. and it's been a great thing. and i know it's brought a lot of joy and a lot of cultural conversation during this era, so we did want to shout that out. a busy day with all of this news. so we are out of time. i thank michael beschloss. everyone can catch out

democrats lack the guts to negotiate the differences over the budget and complaining about rick santorum will. little did i know i would live to see the big means. >> there's some great senators now because of the divisiveness it is kind of hard for them to put together the coalitions that require leadership and it is so essential for the legislation that i don't want to name who the giants are because some i don't want to tell you who even the disappointments are that are not living up to what should be the great tradition so as always the divisiveness in the country has been spawned and increased recently by president trump. to take positions that will not lead to their own defeat because there is a hard-core base particularly in the republican party. the cost is there and we should try to see if we can't do can do everything we can to promote the kind of bipartisanship because of the base being so strongly speaking. >> in your book that i already mentioned is a great read, you call the decision by president george w. bush to go to war with iraq the most misguided strategic decision of
