Matt was MIA. Kmele arrived at the studio and promptly excused himself, supposedly to attend to an unnamed "emergency." So Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani, friend of the Fifth and lefty journo extraordinaire, was cruelly stuck arguing with Moynihan, her former colleague and fellow Vice News Tonight on HBO alum. It’s a wide-ranging discussion that touches on liberalism in Iran, how to be a socialist married to a libertarian, her infamous R. Kelly interview, the efficacy of #metoo and the idiocy of cancel culture. Why this episode never made it to air has been the subject of intense debate, though an internal investigation found that Kmele's Adderall withdrawal and resurgent ADHD was the most likely culprit.
