In conversation with Michael, Dr. Fauci addresses his differences with the president, how he views his role amid “the fog of war” and what he hopes his legacy, and America’s legacy, will be after this crisis.

“I think it will be remembered of really showing what a great country we are. We have been through, as I’ve said, if you look at the history of our country, some extraordinary ordeals. I mean, world wars and diseases and depressions,” he said. “And we’ve gotten through it. I have a great deal of faith in the spirit of the American people. We’re resilient. We’re going to get over this. And this is going to end.”
