Grossberg alleges that Carlson believed he could broker a deal to make Kevin McCarthy the House Speaker on his show.

The plan involved McCarthy appearing on the show and "begging and groveling."

Matt Gaetz would then set his terms, followed by Carlson setting his terms that McCarthy would have to agree to.

The plan was intended to save the Republican party.

However, McCarthy eventually became Speaker without appearing on Carlson's show.

Carlson had texted Grossberg, claiming that McCarthy had agreed to some of his terms.
