The company needed this meeting ASAP because:
1) there was “significant attention coming from the [White House] staff on this issue”; and
2) Google was seeking “to work closely with [the Biden] administration on multiple policy fronts” and needed to appease them.

Privately, Google understood what this request meant as internal docs obtained by @JudiciaryGOP reveal:
“Rob’s questions were very YT focused” & he “dug in on our decision making for borderline content,” which YT says is content that doesn’t “violate our Community Guidelines”

Henry Kissinger saw combat during the Battle of the Bulge and served our county as a top diplomat for years.
President Trump said he was a man of “immense talent, experience, and knowledge.”
There will never be another like him.
God Bless him and his family.
