Pakman and Midweek Politics are strong supporters of same-sex marriage a topic which often has become adversarial with guests on the program. Additionally, a strong belief in evolution and a rebuking of literal Bible interpreters who believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old have created conflict with guests on the program. Pakman has regularly indicated that the more outrageous, extreme guests are not only interesting to interview, but create the most interest and engagement on behalf of the audience.

“Our frigate takes fire,
The other asks if we demand quarter?

We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Whoever is content with the world, and who profits from its lack of justice, does not want to change it.”
