Hey Kid President!
like your talking about awesome girls, why don't you talk to one?!
I'm like....
Well today because I'm BRAVE!
I'm going to talk to an AWESOME girl!
I got my presidential laptop here, which got hit by some water.
So....We had to glue it.
Today I'm going to be talking to an awesome girl.
You can do this, man!
She's a superstar,
She's an artist,
Rachel Platten!
*screaming*
I'm scared out of my mind !
Okay, Okay Pep talk Kid President. Pep talk!
I can do this. I can do this.
Rachel Platten: Kid President is that you!?
*gibberish*
Kid President: Rachel! Whats up?! Rachel Platten everybody!
Rachel : You're acting really weird. You aren't really acting like yourself.
Are you okay?
KP: Um I'm sorry. I called you too early um I'll just call you back later.
RP: Don't be nervous!
KP: I'm not nervous. Do you ever get nervous?
RP: Yes, all the time, I just... I get nervous all the time.
KP: C'mon no! You can't get nervous!
RP: Yes I get nervous! I just.. I danced for three hours just before I got here.
And I don't feel like I'm a very good dancer But honestly you inspire me with your little
like..... Everybody can dance.
KP: Everybody CAN dance!
KP: So here's what I'm trying to do,
I'm trying to celebrate girls who are awesome.
What message do you want to send to girls all over the world?
RP: To girls? You are the cutest thing ever!
KP: *giggles* Aww thank you.
RP: I want to tell girls that,
they are strong and powerful,
and that have EVERY EVERY ounce of the ability
to do ANYTHING that boys can do.
And not to feel like there are any ceilings that they can't break.
KP: What were you like when you were a kid?
RP: Umm I worked really hard,
Like i was always doing so many activities and I was hard on myself.
You know?
I think I look back and I realize.
God I never felt like I was good enough at anything!
And I wish I was nicer to myself.
KP: Everybody should be nice to themselves.
RP: Do you ever feel like that?
KP: I do, I do.
RP: You are an incredibly special, special person and
you should never be nervous.
You should just be completely yourself.
And If you are being yourself then if someone is doing anything else than sending
love back to you that they are clearly hurting inside.
But you never have to be nervous around girls. You know?
Girls are just people too!
KP: Wait wait a second.
*whispers* Girls are people too.
RP: We're just people!
KP: What is a way music can empower girls?
RP: What honey? Say it again.
KP: *giggles* She just called me honey! Hello!
RP: How does music help empower girls you say?
KP: How CAN music...
RP: How can music ...oh It can make you feel good about yourself you
know,
when you hear a song that you connect with and those lyrics express something
in you that you don't know you felt.
But all of sudden you have words for this feeling
that you had whether it was pain,
or joy,
or happiness,
or silliness.
Than all of the sudden you have a groove.
You have like, a vibe
and you have a way to express that feeling.
I think empowering ourselves is all about being honest
and speaking up.
And speaking what's in our heart.
KP: Like your song stand by you?
RP: (singing) Cause I'm goin' stand by you!
Umm it's my next single
and it's a love song.
You know I wrote it,
OH, oh ooh!
This is a good thing for you to talk to girls with
You can be like
"I'm going to be there for you no matter what."
This is a little down the road.
KP: Yeah, definitely down the road.
*RP giggles*
KP: Okay Rachel you ready?
RP: Okay.
KP: This is a question that I ask everybody.
Finish this sentence..
The world would be more awesome if......
RP: If we understood how similar we are.
to each other, and we understood
that, you know, we are all hurting inside
and we're all facing the same things
and if we're all a little kinder to each other, I think.
I think then we could spread more love.
KP: True that.
Will you dance with me?
( dance break !!!)
RP: This is Robby's fight song!
KP: Thank you so much Rachel bye!
RP: BYE honey !
I called you honey again, Haha.
KP: Gross.
I hope you have a good day.
Perfect talking (more giggles)
and that's how you talk to Rachel Platten!
I didn't totally ruin that phone call
I did okay.
She was awesome.
You know what else?!
There is lots of girls out there that don't know
that they're awesome!
So tell us their stories!
Who is a girl who is awesome?
#KPAwesomegirls
Now I gotta go
but first I have to think of the
fact that she called me honey.
Not a bad day.
KP out.
