- Dr. Anthony Fauci in conversation with Sean Penn at Live Talks Los Angeles discussing his memoir,
"On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service." This event was taped on June 24
The memoir by the doctor who became a beacon of hope for millions through the COVID pandemic, and whose six-decade career in high-level public service put him in the room with seven presidents.
Dr. Anthony Fauci served as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health from 1984 to 2022. He also served as the Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden. He is currently a Distinguished University Professor at Georgetown University with a joint appointment in the School of Medicine and the McCourt School of Public Policy. He has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Science, and the Mary Woodard Lasker Award for Public Service and has been awarded 62 honorary doctoral degrees, and is the author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,400 scientific publications.
Sean Penn is a two-time Academy Award-winning actor, filmmaker and author. In January 2010, Penn established J/P HRO in the immediate aftermath of the catastrophic Haiti earthquake. The emergency relief nonprofit was renamed CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) and continues to bring immediate aid and recovery to underserved communities across the globe.
Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this is only part of his story. Over five decades in public health, he’s played a crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and provided leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises.
His memoir reaches back to his boyhood in Brooklyn, New York, and carries through decades of caring for critically ill patients, navigating the whirlpools of Washington politics, and behind-the-scenes advising and negotiating with seven presidents on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home. On Call is an inspiration for readers who admire and are grateful to him and for those who want to emulate him in public service. He is the embodiment of “speaking truth to power,” with dignity and results.

Some people spend their life blaming people. Some make a difference even against all odds
Thank you Dr Fauci You are truly deserving of any praise you get . He strikes me as being quite humble 😊
@@arlenemulqueeney7891 He's great!!
It's his lying accusers who are traitorous garbage!
I surely hope Dr Fauci knows how grateful America is! A great doctor and just one heck of a classy gentleman!
Dr. Fauci, yes - you gave it 100 percent . God bless you.
From my heart, thank you Dr. Fauci for all your honorable and valuable service. We live is dishonorable times.
The important word Service to others
Humanitarians, I know Trump can't even spell the word. Utmost respect for Sean and Dr. Fauci!
Much respect and thanks for this man!
Both of these gentlemen have earned a Nobel Peace acknowledgment. I hope they receive the honors so well deserved due to their commitment to humanitarian efforts.
I do to so that was why trump didn't like fauci he was up for an honourable degree something else he will never have
...in such difficult times.
Much admiration for Dr. Anthony Fauci from Ireland 🇮🇪
💛Thank you🌻😎
Thank you for the gifts the doctor gave the world 🌎 ❤ may you always be held in the greater light of the world 🌎
All I can think while watching this is that Im not the one that needs to be watching this.
His contributions to public health & research over the course of his career is immeasurable. I believe he'll go down as one of the most important people of our time... absolute legend. We are fortunate to of had him and should be thankful. He got a lot of shit done. Nothing but gratitude & respect from my view.

Dr. Fauci is EXCELLENT - and the very opposite of the insurrectionist fascists such as rand pall, "gen" flynn, Cancun cruz, and ShayDee vontz.
Hearing him talk about HIV in the 90s is when I was a nurse hearing for HIV patients it made me weak remembering how sick they were. I didn’t realize I was so effected
We all owe
Dr. Fauci.. our very lives and our very future..@ 78+ years young..
thank you Dr. Fauci..
Bob Roberts VT
Thank you so much for this...Dr Fauci is a true American hero... to keep engaged in the face of all the negative nonsense of the last administration is simply wonderful, simply awe inspiring... We love you Dr. Fauci!
And Sean Penn is also a true American hero for his many selfless, self funded actions to help people in difficult tragic circumstances the world over...
We have been so diminished by negative political nonsense, that it is hard to know for the average American what a true American hero looks like.
thank you both so much!
I personally would like to thank me Sean Penn, for all his efforts to bring to our attention about all terrible things/ places going on around the world for a very long time now, ie Haiti, Katerina, I think dafua , Ukraine etc. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for this chat, very much appreciated gentleman.
DR FAUCI your presence, perspective and your voice were essential to my health and wellness throughout the pandemic and yes, beyond. For you to have to tolerate such idiocrocy through such trying times was so very excessive and dusterbing to say the least. Your grounded intelligence, experience and grace in the presence of such a lunitic/conman was so very reasuring as a represenative of sanity, thank you again with complete sincerity,
Tara
So wonderful! Dr.Fauci you’re and will be the best, your legacy of knowledge, experience combined with decency and honesty will endure for centuries to come. I take my hat off to you and I thank you for your service. I had and have faith in you as an honorable scientist who works for the well being of people. God bless you each moment of your life ❤
Thank you Dr Faucci American Hero
Absolutely fantastic show.
Dr Fauci is amazing, and I thank him for everything he's done for our country, our people, and for the world 🌎❤
Many thanks to you both for sharing this
💙💙👍👍💙💙❤️🌎❤️
Dr. Fauci you are such a blessing for our country. Thank you for all your work and helping everyone. God bless you.
dont ya just love a conversation between 2 intelligent people...
Dr. Fauci, a truly great human being !
Enjoyed this! Thanks Sean, Thanks Dr Fauci.
This was a beautiful program....thank you LiveTalks.
GREAT interview! Thanks! I've never seen or heard of these talks.
Thank you, thank you thank you!!💖💖👍👍This is what the people need to hear! It has been horrific hearing negative crap from the maggots. Greatest respect for both of you. Sean, you are so right on to celebrate this wonderful scientist!! Very good interview....Dr. Fauci is a national treasure for sure👍👍💖
Thank you Dr Fauci for all you have done to help and to give hope to scores of people worldwide ❤
Im SO SO GRATEFUL for this convo...and Im only at 1:00. Except for maybe Tom Hanks, I cant think a celebrity Id love as much to have a chat with Fauci. Probably everyone alrdy knows this but Penn is an authentic genius.
A needed informative talk, Thank you , this was good.
Dr Fauchi, you are an American 💎 gem. Trump disrespecting you is a disgrace. Trump will have his comeuppance soon enough. Big jail, hopefully.
Fauci is a criminal as are each of our last few decades of presidents. Dem and republican.
Thank you SO much Dr Fauci! You went thru unbelievable (and completely unwarranted) opposition. I can't begin to imagine how hard that must have been!!
I admire Dr. Fauci and the great actor Sean Penn, two intelligent lovely guys.
@@ines3171
Omg..............
Sean Penn is my favorite. Doctor Fauci is my hero.
Anthony. For someone who has worked their whole life to help people going through the wrath of MAGA must have been really hard. Thank you.
The maga cult is scared of intelligence and anyone not on their level. That's why they worship an unfit liar.
That’s true William.
He remindes me of my father,who worked on Polio vaccine ❤
@LauraCollins-eq3ou
Many covid deaths were of anti-vaxxers; people who refused to pay attention to the facts shown to them..
A tragic waste, partly caused by strongly held ignorance.
I'm old enough to remember the polio epidemic. Two of my friends got polio and lost their ability to walk. I admire doctors like Dr Faci who are dedicated to curing these diseases. Thank you, Dr Faci.
He doesn't come close to the polio vaccine.I resent that comparison, my mother had polio
Thank you for posting this interview.
I love this man.
THANK YOU "DOCTOR FAUCI " WE APPRECIATE YOU
So good to hear him still say the vaccine is 90% effective. I started to have my doubts. Thank you.
I have respect for the good Dr. He is proof that we can work with all parties of the government if we are honest and fact driven. If we also respected the diffeences of opinion. No one way is perfect, Demacrate vocalize this. Republicans are now in belief that they should run us into a world that has no diffreces, that has no other beliefs. This is a way to deem all persons who are not like this party should be dealt with, they should either submit or they should be kicked out of this Country. Really we see in Hostory how these ways always turn into exsplosive and demolishing ways for us to become as the very Countries we have praised ourselves for being better than. The Country is made great for being inclusive, now we are veing told they no longer want this, so we all who are diffrent will be kicked out or put into consideration camps. For real the Project 2025 has a part that plans to put the people no longer concidered Americans, into such gated facilities that Trump plans to build on the boarder, remember the communist scare where they rounded up the asian communities, or the Americans accusation against neighbors, were enough to have families carted off to these terra le places. History tells us what come next, but Americans no longer look to educate our future gennerations this truth because dumbing us down as free and equal citizens makes it more easy to control, to lie too, to decie e
Dr. Fauci is a legend and national treasure. Point.
Beautiful….great synergy between interviewer and interviewee….two great men…bravo
creepy, to me
Sean Penn is very intelligent on so many humanitarian topics
He's always been one of my favourite actors. I can't help but notice he isn't looking well here though. Hope he is fine.
He dedicated his life to helping people. I am in awe. Very articulate, honest, admits when he's wrong.
He is a well paid con artist.
Mad respect and thank you Dr. Fauci. I kept a social distance, I wore a proper mask and I’ve had all my vaccines. It wasn’t a big deal, my health is preserved and therefore I didn’t infect anyone else either. I am an elderly woman. My age group was at serious risk of death. Btw, neither have I been maimed by polio, measles, rubella, tetanus. . .
Because of a past life threatening allergy to ibuprofen,
I chose not to be vaccinated. I have also never had a flu shot and I am 68 years old. I never went out without my mask, however, for about three years. When I finally did get the omicron and a doc told me I should take Paxlovid bc of my age and non vaccinated status or I'll wind up in the ICU, I went to my local ER room and had my lungs looked and they were perfectly clear. So I did not take the Paxlovid. I used lots of fresh garlic, ginger, tumeric and chamomile tea and ate really well and had a mild to moderate case.
The problem with Dr. Fauci and Pres Biden was that they demonized anyone who did not want to be vaccinated, including ppl with allergies to meds or who suffer with certain medical conditions. I was very careful and stayed in for two full weeks, until I had a negative test.. Thank God my friends were so nice and not paranoid and we'd meet often outdoors in the nice weather. But it was not easy being unvaccinated and I had plenty of snide remarks from relatives and doctors about how I was not doing my part. I do not regret my decision, however, and do not plan on getting any shots in the future.
I did none of the above except wote mask only to enter places that required it .... and I got covid once (based on symtoms - loss of taste /smell but I was never tested). Covid was mild. I'm close to 50 yrs young.
Live in the united states.
So many died after their vax but were counted as unvaxxed deaths due Fauci saying that you are not considered vaxxed until 2 weeks after your second shot.
It's just disgusting.
@@faithe54 Sorry you felt stigmatized. I’m fully loaded with vaccines and happy to be so. What I wanted to say is that there was plenty of information out there about people who shouldn’t receive the Covid vaccine, just as certain people shouldn’t take the flu vaccines.
Word! Same here.
@@DeliveringSolutionsstop repeating Trump's lies. Trump is who lied, he's why we lost so many people. Trump lies.
I just think SO HIGHLY of these 2 men!God bless both of you!
thank you for the video😊
I love Sean Penn, he used to be thought of as a bad guy. Wrong! Sean Penn has so much love for humanity, he is amazing! He's helped Ukraine, etc. etc. Who knew?! He's truly a very, very good guy, a extremely talented actor as well. He's got chutzepah! You go Sean Penn! Love you!
It IS really something when you find out a celebrity is the polar opposite of what they seemed.
You probably already know but Sean is an authentic genius. My first impression of him was per "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". Imagine my surprise to find out he's actually a genius. Have you seen "I AM SAM" ??. its BRILLIANT & I've never seen a character that's so diff from the actor, played so convincingly.
And Haiti. And in Africa. He is a humanitarian and he walks the talk.
SUGGESTION: Run this discussion presentation side by side with a presentation showing what had transpired concerning the "putting down" antics (for political reasons) of certain persons against the vaccine---and who, by name, the so-called anti-vacers actually had been.
@@johnmenapace1747 I agree what we need to do is find ways that we can put educational information that puts their issues at front and center and how and what is planned where do they fit? Exactly they won't have a clue till late before they turn against those of not pure blood must mean servitude for you too. Lol. He just like us.......
Mr Fauchi, the whole world owes you an enormous amount. Thank you for all you have done, seems so inadequate a response to you and your work and achievements. Because of you, millions of lives have been saved. Love and respect to you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵💙 vote Blue from bow to stern.
You are a good Doctor blessed you in every thing you do for the people thank you very much blessed 🙏
So impressed with Penn’s interview skills. Of concern, he’s 63 and Fauci is 83. Penn’s a heavy smoker, I assume spends lots of time in the sun and he’s a worrier. Fauci doesn’t smoke, jogs but keeps sun exposure to a minimum and he is an optimist. I fear Penn will live a short life, but I’d bet Fauci lives well into his 90s.
Thank you, Dr Fauci. My hearts still aches when I think of my friends who were lost. And then there were many who lived much longer because of the work you did.
@@kathyjohnson1911 the US had the highest death rate per capita in the world. How did he help especially since his program spawned the gain of function virus
Thank you, Dr. Fauci for giving us a sense of sanity and hope during the most scary and uncertain time of our lives. Your sacrifice and hard work will never be forgotten. I am so ashamed and hurt the way the naysayers treated you. Please do not listen to them.
I lost both my sisters 1991and 2003 from HIV. God Bless President BushJr. my
Nephew is alive because of the program. He has 4 healthly children. Thank you Dr. Fauci. God Bless you and your family.
Sean is 20 years younger than Fauci. Fauci looks better.
Fauci RUNS at 80+
Smoking cigarettes will do that to you.
Love Dr. Fauci!! xoxox
Bot? Or 🐑
People who chided, scapegoated and accused Dr. Fauci just broke my heart and I still see Congress members who do this today. It's debilitating to our values to have them throw down the gauntlet on medicine, professional experience and best practice. I wish I knew what to say to help them out of that fugue state.
Many of us feel the exact same sentiment about Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
@@cbtriplett Don't know, don't care to know.
@@mrs.awhiggins450 Yes, of course. The truest thing Mr. Fauci said was that people are content to live in their own echo boxes. He was talking to you.
@@mrs.awhiggins450 Yes, of course. The truest thing Mr. Fauci said was that people are content to live in their own bubble. He was talking to you. It's very condescending of you to say people like me are living in a "fugue state," yet I sought as much info as I possibly could, and you don't care to know who Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is.
@@cbtriplett Nope.
I love Dr faucie
What a privilege to listen to Dr Fauci: expert, deeply experienced, modest, balanced, humanitarian, outstanding and admirable. We owe him huge respect and gratitude.
@@eileendight5098 I posted earlier about what the procedure is to have Dr. Fauci awarded the Presidential Medal? What do you think?
@@mthouse5490 Absolutely. He deserves the highest honour.
Dr. Fauci, national treasure. Thank you for your commitment and your service throughout your life. We appreciate you, sir. 👏👏👏🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your service!
What an amazing interview from one humanitarian to another. I think both of you from the bottom of my heart.
We live in a toxic world. Live organic. Climate change matters. We get to choose
I love and appreciate Dr. Fauchi

I think Sean Penn looks fantastic. Men are 'lucky': society allows them to grow old in a natural way, their wrinkles give them character whereas for a woman are the end of the road, they make her invisible.
Lovely, both of you. Thanks
I am so deeply thankful for Dr. Faucci - my uncle is still alive after being on death row in the ‘80s… he’s in his 70’s now and was one of the first patients to use these drugs spoken of here. HIV has been undetectable in his blood for a long, long, long time now. His partner, my other uncle, died that terrible death - and I know Dr. Faucci is a real human b/c PTSD after his work back then makes complete sense. I’m glad there are still heroes out there - it’s harder to see them in this current climate where a cult of personality is sucking the air out of the room and spreading stupidity. Thank you LiveTalks for this platform and fantastic interview! Thank YOU Dr. Faucci for saving lives, thank you for my uncle.
If we had more people like this centered around truthfulness and self service America would be in a lot better place right now. Thank you Dr Fauci and Sean! ❤
Thank you both
I just got here. This is really cool. Dr. Fauci is an American Patriot. Thank you, Sean for this. You are awesome.
Sean Penn - Bono of Holywood.
Everyone should read Dr. Fauci’s book…it is fantastic! We love you and your wonderful wife…THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY💙💙💙!!!
Yes..read it! "
The Real Dr Fauci"....
Everybody should also read RFK Jr.'s book "The Real Doctor Fauci."
Thank you Dr Fauci 🤗💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Imagine another pandemic with T as president & no Tony Fauci to help us. It is terrifying! Vote blue America!
We wouldn’t have hurt our economy and the social distancing and mask mandates would never had been implemented? Plus we would know where covid came from because Fauci wouldn’t have been covering it up?
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Plsss nooo
Will do!!💙

The cover-ups were and are the work of trump, rand paul, and other liars
Decent, intelligent, dedicated, people. What a blinding contrast to the toxic MAGA sludge that is poisoning the world these days.
Thank you Dr
Amazing, at 83 Dr. Fauci is more articulate and definitely more intelligent than Trump ever was.
tRump is dumb as a doorknob. Not a fair comparison.
Listen to him in front of Congress and in front of the senate.
"Remember to listen for the ring of truth"
Your heart knows.
Did your heart go to med school and do residencies in Epidemiology and immunology?
Mine didn’t
I love Dr. Fauci. Thank you doctor for getting us through Covid 19. Love from Canada.
😅
And thank you from Australia as well.
Not me. Read the book The Real Dr Fauci. It's eye-opening.
@@kashheitkamp815 it's junk. propaganda. a smear attempt. bogus. manipulative. gaslight attempt. panders to conspiracy theories.
Dr Fauci … 83 years young
Thank You, Dr. Fauci! You are an American Hero! 🇺🇲
MTG and MAGA should be ashamed of affronted this Scholar with their pure nonsense!
❤on call is the book of the year ❤
What a great interview Dr. Fauci is so articulate, caring human being.
Two amazing dudes.
Dr. Fauci and Sean Penn are two very decent people of which the world needs more of !
That’s funny
Fauci is a modern hero. I would like more people like him in this world
Bill Maher needs to see this! MTG, Bobert, Trump and the like needn't bother.
They couldn't understand!
Unfortunately Maher has too much Marijuana in his blood stream and it has involved his brain’s frontal cortex which effects memory loss,attention and judgment.
In this country children (and their parents) are not taught the difference between Faith which is immutable and Science that is "self correcting," as Fauci put it. Carl Jung pointed out this difference between reliigious faith (in doctrine that is absolute) and scientific thinking that changes in accord with new intormaton -- over 100 years ago.
Because Faith is immutable it can be wrong 100% of the time.
Actually, if we can adopt Popper’s falsifiability criterion for the nonce, any theory that involves faith has zero explanatory power
I pray for a day when those of us long-suffering from the chronic excruciating pain, utter exhaustion, and physical deterioration from Lyme and other vector-borne diseases get the medical help and respect that Cancers, AIDS, Ebola, and other devastating diseases get. I’d rather have gotten Ebola and either suffered briefly and died or been cured than living in hell for decades.
Yes Bush did. He is the reason I came to the USA. Clearly remember, I was watching the news in Lima Peru my hometown when I heard that president Bush was encouraging medical professionals to come to the United States and offering to get easier immigration visas. A month later, I was not sure if that was true. I gathered all my papers ( I had already passed the foreign exam for nurses) in told the ambassador I wanted to work as a nurse ( of course after interviewing with hospitals who were crying for nurses) and Yes I got the visa that said it allowed me to come to the USA to interview with hospitals prior to working as a nurse. That changed my life. Love this country. Now I am a nurse practitioner serving veterans. Thanks, president Bush Sr.
Dr. Fauci is my # 1 hero, such a brilliant mind! Proud to say, I met him in Aspen couple of yrs ago. I got totally, idiotically stupid and could't say anything intelligent. My son though, took a pic of me with him, which is one of my treasures, I must say.💙
🇺🇲💙 Dr. Anthony Fauci 🩺🔬 American Hero 👏 🇺🇲💙 Sean Penn 🏆 Humanitarian & American icon 👏
Agree with you 💯. This is a great interview 👍 👏!!!
Without people like this with their knowledge and dedication, we would be struggling to survive. Thank you ❤
This very amazing man for so many reasons will be in history ❤❤
