Huckabee lines up Trump as first guest on new talk show: report
By Olivia Beavers - 09/17/17 03:07 PM EDT

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) is kicking off his new television show with a big league first guest: President Trump.

Huckabee points to the strong support Trump received from evangelicals during last year's election in a new interview with The Atlantic published Sunday, comparing his level of support to other past Republican presidential contenders or even former Republican presidents.

"Nobody pretends that he would be an ideal Sunday-school teacher, to be fair. I don’t think he is a person who is deeply acquainted with the Bible and he’s not known to set attendance records at church. But he’s very respectful of people of faith. And that’s really all people in the Christian community want. They don’t care whether or not the guy believes as they do," Huckabee said.

The new show, set to air on Trinity Broadcasting Network next month

Do people really watch these religious channels? They're not like commercial networks, where they need viewers to bring in the money. They sell their airtime to televangelists that are often as shady as the owners (and usually get their viewers by buying more time on commercial stations that people do watch). As long as the tithes and profits keep rolling, those channels could be broadcasting to nobody and they'd still be OK.
