Pop star Kid Rock joined “Fox & Friends” to explain his reasons for arranging a summit between liberal HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher and Republican President Donald Trump.

He also spoke about how the meeting went and how stunned he was by how the two men interacted.

“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,” he said to the hosts.

“Everyone was so surprised, so pleasant. The most shocking thing to me was, you know, Bill’s obviously a very big liberal, been very hard on the President, but he’s donated a lot of money to other politicians. You know, you’ve had Biden, Clinton, Obama, everybody,” the rock star said.

“He had never been to the White House, and the President was so gracious, he took us up to the private residence. We saw the Gettysburg Address in the Lincoln Bedroom, 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,” he said.

“And we talked about things we had in common, you know, ending wokeness, you know, securing the border. You know, the President was asking him what he thought about policy, you know, going on with Iran and Israel and things. It just blew my mind. I was, you know, very, very proud,” he said.

Host Lawrence Jones asked if he believed Maher left the meeting liking the president and Rock said he did.

“Me and Dana both said there was like, there’s never been anybody that’s ever, ever met the President in any scenario that’s walked away without saying like, wow, what a great guy. So funny. So engaging. He’s so smart,” the singer said.

“And absolutely. Bill even said to me, you know, after that, he goes, wow, that was, you know, everybody’s mind was kind of blown. Even the president’s, I think, because the president called me late night last night and, you know, everyone was a little suspect about going into this,” he said.

“And even the president kind of alerted me a little bit like, what do you got me doing? I go, man, we’re just trying to show people that, you know, even though we’ve been pretty hard on each other, that when you get face to face, maybe we can have a little more civility in this country and try to bring people together. And that was my whole intention,” he said.
