The Guardian reports:

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is set to launch his own imprint and publish books by the likes of Russell Brand and “alt-right” commentator Milo Yiannopoulos. The imprint, Tucker Carlson Books, will be part of the US-based publisher Skyhorse.

Among the titles set to be published by Carlson’s imprint is Brand’s How to Become a Christian in Seven Days,described by Skyhorse as a “testimony and guide to a timeless, yet zeitgeist-capturing, grounded, yet psychedelic encounter with Christ”.

Carlson’s imprint will also publish Yiannopoulos’s book, Ex Gay. Yiannopoulos has previously been shunned by publishers, with one insider calling his 2017 memoir,Dangerous, a “toxic book”. Its publication was subsequently cancelled by Simon & Schuster after footage surfaced in which he made comments that appeared to condone sex between adult men and underage boys.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

His banner’s initial book slate includes titles by Russell Brand, Robert F. Kennedy, Gavin de Becker and Peter Navarro as it features works with anti-vaccine, conspiracy theories and deep state themes, among other hot button subjects.

Russell Brand faces a London trial over allegations of rape and sexual assault later this year. Despite that legal trouble, Carlson touted Brand’s book title featured on his namesake book imprint site: “Russell Brand’s message of promise of forgiveness and joy through Jesus is the message this country needs most. I’ve read it, it’s amazing.”

Among the other featured books are Killing Cancer by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, The Los Angeles Times owner, The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity by Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale, Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics, by Donald Jeffries, and Surveillance and Surveillance Detection, written by former CIA counterterrorism officer John C. Kiriakou.

Yiannopoulos is a regular on Carlson’s podcast.
