During Thursday's edition of The View, the panel reacted to a clip of Wednesday's Tucker Carlson Tonight, where the eponymous host pointed to studies showing that "when men make less money than women, women generally don't want to marry them." Carlson went on to point out that men making less money leads to higher out-of-wedlock birthrates and "all of the disasters that inevitably follow."  Co-host Joy Behar mocked Carlson's analysis, saying "it's like...when they blamed women for pregnancy as if he had nothing to do with it."  Co-host Abby Hunstman, who once worked with Carlson at Fox News, argued that his commentary was out of character but stressed that "if you know Tucker personally, you would say he has a heart of gold."  Behar disagreed: "I don't see what good that is when he's promoting this bad stuff to millions of people." Behar also argued that Carlson's comments come as part of a broader effort to "keep women down." After describing Carlson as "nutty," co-host Sunny Hostin basically admitted that what he said was true, saying "I have had friends that, you know, make a lot of money and don't necessarily want to marry a guy that isn't ambitious."
