Kid Rock spills the beans in a late-night chat with President Donald Trump.

Kid Rock, a longtime friend of the president, is a regular in the Oval Office, has played golf with Trump and in February hosted the conservative group Turning Point USA’s halftime show, which was pitched as “All American” to replace Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.

During an interview with Kid Rock, Sky News Australia host Paul Murray asked Kid Rock, “What’s it like to have people running the world?” “It’s amazing,” said Rock, real name Robert Ritchie. Chatting with President Trump is “one of my late night drinking secrets,” the music star said in an interview. This interview is part of Sky News Australia’s upcoming feature ‘Trump’s America: 250 years of progress’.

‘He always cheers me up’: Kid Rock talks about friendship, phone call with Trump

“I know when to pick him up and he’s been very nice, always picking me up and most of the time just calling and checking in just for the shoot,” Rock said. “He’s not calling me like, ‘Hey, Bob, what should we do in Iran?’ I can’t take that call.”

Locke said a typical moment to chat is when he’s sitting down and having a few beers. It’s Friday or Saturday around 11 or 12 p.m. I know he’s awake. He sleeps like I do…for about five hours, I’ll be like, ‘Hey Bob, what’s going on? Blah, blah, blah.’ That’s the best. I really enjoy hanging out with him, talking to him, and having a front row seat to him. To the greatest show on earth. ”

The musician’s ties to the Trump administration led to a video of him training with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in February and an apparent flyby of Locke’s home near Nashville a month later by a U.S. Army helicopter.

Locke said he achieved the American Dream and that others can too. “There’s a lot of talk about, ‘Are you alive? Are you well?’ Yes, you are, but you don’t work 40 or 50 hours a week. That’s not how you get the American dream. You have to be willing to make sacrifices,” he said. “But if you want to get to the top of that food chain, it’s going to take a lot of effort.”
