Kid Rock Dishes On Trump's Meeting With Bill Maher: "Everybody’s Mind Was Kind Of Blown"

On Tuesday, Kid Rock shared details of President Donald Trump’s meeting with 
liberal comedian Bill Maher, declaring that “everybody’s mind was kind of 
blown.”

The rock star, who got to witness Trump sign an executive order designed to 
crack down on price gouging in ticket resales, joined Fox News to discuss how 
he convinced Maher to meet Trump and what actually happened when they all got 
together for dinner, along with UFC CEO Dana White.

Both Trump and Maher — who have been heavily critical of each other over the 
years — had previously credited Kid Rock with brokering the get-together on 
Monday.

“I went on Bill’s show, I went on his podcast and I said, ‘Man, you know, 
nothing happens if people don’t break bread together and meet face-to-face.’ 
He’s been one of the president’s hardest critics. And we came to dinner, me, 
Bill, Dana White, and it could not have been better,” the rock star said.

“Everyone was so surprised. It was so pleasant,” Kid Rock added. “The most 
shocking thing to me was Bill is obviously a big liberal and very hard on the 
president. He’s donated a lot of money to other politicians. You know, you’ve 
had Biden, Clinton, Obama — everybody — he had never been to the White 
House.”

But, Kid Rock said, Trump was “gracious” and gave them a tour of the White 
House.

“He took us up to the private residence. We saw the Gettysburg Address in the 
Lincoln Bedroom,” he continued. “And I was like, you’ve never been here, 
Bill? And I was like, how about this? President Trump, you know, extending 
this olive branch and we talked about things we had in common.”

Kid Rock said they discussed “ending wokeness” and “securing the border.” He 
noted that Trump asked Maher about policy on Iran and Israel, and remarked, 
“It blew my mind. I was very proud.”

“Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones asked, “Do you think he walked away 
liking him? Because, you know, Trump is the type of person you have to meet 
him to understand him,” to which Kid Rock responded in the affirmative.

“100%. 100%. Me and Dana both said there was like — there has never been 
anyone who has ever met the president in any scenario who has walked away 
without saying, like, wow, what a great guy. He’s so funny, so engaging, he’s 
so smart. And absolutely, Bill even said to me — after that he goes, ‘Wow, 
that was — ‘ you know, everybody’s mind was kind of blown.”

Kid Rock went on to say: “The president called me late last night. Everyone 
was a little suspect about going into this. Even the president [said to me], 
like, ‘What have you got me doing?’ I go, man, we’re trying to show people 
that even though we’ve been hard on each other, that when you get face-to-
face, maybe we can have more civility in this country and try to bring people 
together, you know. That was my whole intention.”
