Kid Rock kicked off the first show of his Freedom 250 Tour in Dallas with a pre-show hype video featuring himself and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth riding in twin Apache helicopters.

The video opens with Rock touching down at an airport on a private jet. As he steps onto the tarmac, he’s greeted by Hegseth. After a familiar bro hug, Rock asks Hegseth, “Mr. Secretary, what are you doing here, sir?” Hegseth replies, “I’m going to your show tonight!” Rock then exclaims, “Awesome! Jump in, I’ll give you a ride.” Hegseth then says, “Well, I appreciate that. But, how about I give you a ride?” The video then cuts to two Apache helicopters whirling up. Rock throws his hands in the air in excitement. He then shares a triumphant high five with Hegseth before they board the choppers.
