  Did you recently invite someone somewhere and then regret it a little bit later on?
• 0:05
  Introducing Take It Back, the first service that lets you uninvite people from
• 0:10
  plans that you already invited them to.
• 0:12
  Maybe you said to somebody, you should totally come, and then they said, absolutely, what time?
• 0:18
  And then you said, oh shit, they actually do want to come.
• 0:23
  With Take It Back, they'll send them a professionally worded cancellation before you have to.
• 0:28
  Like, unfortunately, Lindsay has decided she would rather not see you.
• 0:33
  Or for a softer option, something came up.
• 0:36
  Something about Lindsay doesn't want to go out anymore.
• 0:39
  Take it back even works for birthdays, dinner parties, vacations,
• 0:43
  weddings, and that extremely aggressive, you have to come.
• 0:47
  But you don't have to come. In fact, please don't take it back.
• 0:51
  Because the worst part of making plans is when someone actually accepts them.
• 0:56
  Take It Back cannot be responsible for any post that is on social media after uninviting someone.
• 1:01
  Superpowers cannot solve the world's problems alone. UN Secretary General Antonio Gerties.
• 1:09
  Insert theme song here. This is the Daily Starcast. I give you the news and maybe a laugh.
• 1:14
  I'm Lindsay Vernick and today is September 23rd, 2026.
• 1:19
  Guys, if you're not doing anything tomorrow night and you want to schlep to Brooklyn,
• 1:24
  I am having my first show at the Flophouse at 6 30
• 1:28
  and I am going to be talking about girl problems and what it's like to be a
• 1:33
  girl and how fun it is so if you want to come by please do I know it's a schlep but it'll be worth it.
• 1:42
  In real news so Trump addressed the UN yesterday and he defended the war with
• 1:48
  Iran and says he has a big decision to make.
• 1:51
  Reach a deal with Iran or annihilate the Islamic Republic.
• 1:56
  Right after that, he announced that his friends Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner
• 2:01
  just met with the Iranian officials for about three hours and said it was very good.
• 2:07
  So that's like kind of confusing, right?
• 2:10
  It's kind of like texting somebody, I never want to see you again,
• 2:14
  but then texting them a few minutes later, are you free on Thursday?
• 2:18
  Trump also mentioned that these Iranian officials weren't like of the highest
• 2:22
  level, but it was something.
• 2:24
  Like, did he just meet with a couple of random people in Iran?
• 2:27
  Is that what he's talking about?
• 2:29
  Trump also discussed Venezuela, Greenland, Ukraine, and AI during his big speech.
• 2:35
  And he said that AI does not need to be more regulated.
• 2:39
  So basically, his message to the world yesterday was, I might destroy Iran.
• 2:45
  I might build military bases in Greenland. And also, like, who cares about AI?
• 2:50
  Honestly, I was expecting crazier from this one.
• 2:53
  Meanwhile, over in Kentucky, there was this mega festival called Patriot's Day
• 2:59
  Freedom Fest, and it was canceled like just a few days before the event because
• 3:04
  they only sold six VIP tickets.
• 3:08
  The festival was supposed to be free, and Kid Rock, Doug the Bounty Hunter,
• 3:13
  and other very conservative people were going to be there.
• 3:16
  They were trying to sell 100 VIP tickets for $1,000 each to cover the cost of the event.
• 3:23
  But then the organizer, this guy Eric, got on Facebook on Monday to announce
• 3:28
  that he canceled the whole festival.
• 3:30
  And the video was psychotic he made this whole video about how he found out
• 3:35
  that only six people bought the thousand dollar vip ticket and he was so mad
• 3:40
  because these are people who he does favors for all day long
• 3:44
  and he said he never says no to these people,
• 3:47
  and then he said none of these people will ever ever ever get a favor from me again ever,
• 3:53
  and then he blamed rich people for not buying more tickets because rich people as a whole suck.
• 3:59
  But then right after, he said, now I'm a rich person. I live in one hell of a house. I don't suck.
• 4:05
  Okay. And then he went on to explain that MAGA people always turn out for this event.
• 4:11
  And he insisted that the reason why they canceled was not because of Kid Rock.
• 4:16
  I don't think people are that worried about Kid Rock going to see him or not.
• 4:20
  I just, I don't think people want to go to that, clearly.
• 4:25
  Yesterday, the White House launched something called Trump TV,
• 4:29
  a 24-hour streaming channel featuring Trump administration announcements,
• 4:35
  past events, and a massive amount of television that they did not make.
• 4:41
  The promo video for Trump TV uses clips from Friends, Seinfeld,
• 4:45
  The Simpsons, Family Guy, Breaking Bad, The Office, Spongebob,
• 4:48
  Modern Family, and The Dark Knight.
• 4:50
  It even opens with Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad turning on his TV.
• 4:55
  And the promo is set to a remix of Video Killed the Radio Star.
• 4:59
  Like, this isn't satire news, which is so insane.
• 5:04
  The White House says that Trump
• 5:05
  TV will bring viewers the administration's latest and greatest moments.
• 5:10
  So basically, it's a streaming service where the only genre is previously on Donald Trump.
• 5:16
  I mean, this is pretty scary, right? Like, now the White House can just release
• 5:19
  whatever information that they want, totally unfiltered, doesn't matter what it is.
• 5:26
  They're probably going to try charging for it, too, like $20 a month.
• 5:30
  And then when nobody signs up for it, they'll probably make it free again and
• 5:34
  give some bullshit excuse like, oh, we want it accessible for anybody when really
• 5:38
  nobody wanted to pay for it.
• 5:40
  What a great country we live in.
• 5:43
  In Lindsay life, I feel like I'm on vacation right now, or I'm like in my social era.
• 5:48
  Like I'm constantly having plans with friends every day, and I'm not working,
• 5:53
  and it's fun, but I do miss working, definitely.
• 5:56
  But yesterday, something crazy happened. I was in H&M with my friend,
• 6:01
  and this guy like came up to her, and like this really tall man,
• 6:06
  like very, very tall man, and he was in like cycling clothes,
• 6:10
  and he was like kind of bouncing around the store I saw him before he was like maybe,
• 6:15
  six something he was like six five and he's bouncing around he comes up to us,
• 6:20
  and he towers over us and we kind of like literally we're startled so we kind
• 6:24
  of like take a few steps back and he's like don't worry don't worry I just there's
• 6:28
  cameras everywhere I just want to tell you girls something or he looks at my friend,
• 6:33
  and he goes you're just so beautiful and I need to invite you to my hotel room later tonight.
• 6:38
  And she was like oh my god what and i was like okay no thank you and he's like
• 6:43
  no no no like it's nice like i'm not like i'm not trying to be creepy like no
• 6:48
  thank you and like yeah that was crazy that was a crazy thing,
• 6:52
  this also happened like before noon which was even crazier things i'm thinking about how people,
• 6:59
  yesterday were literally like in crowds waiting for trump and who else from
• 7:06
  the un meeting to, like, drive down the street.
• 7:10
  Like, have they never seen a group of black cars before?
• 7:14
  Like, who cares? Like, why are we all fascinated by this guy,
• 7:18
  by this orange Oompa Loompa?
• 7:21
  Go about your own day. And, like, people, and it doesn't even matter,
• 7:25
  like, what cars drive by. People are taking videos.
• 7:27
  Like, have you never just seen a group of cars and some cops drive down the
• 7:31
  street before? It was, like, mind-blowing to me how people were so fascinated by this.
• 7:36
  And, like, we're literally just standing there on the side of the street like it was this big parade.
• 7:41
  Like, what are you doing with your life? And I'm really sorry if that was you
• 7:45
  waiting for Trump to pass you by in a car.
• 7:48
  But like if you're that easily entertained by a car driving by you might as
• 7:51
  well go home and just put on the tv it'll probably be more enjoyable more productive,
