Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, and happy Friday. The weekend is near, but the news is not slowing down, except in California, where the vote count from Tuesday's primaries isn't anywhere close to wrapping up. This is ridiculous. The only thing that has changed is that the numbers keep getting worse for Republicans, and somehow the number of votes still outstanding to be counted continues to go up, I guess maybe this is because they keep receiving imaginary new ballots, I mean, actual new ballots. I don't know, today's Friday, so I would presume that the ballot inflow should be kind of over since everyone there should be mailing it, for the most part, from California to California, and they had to be postmarked by Tuesday. But yeah, the updates are uniformly bad for Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton. What a shock, and no one's going to trust this. No one is going to trust this outcome if those two are eliminated from the general election, given the leads that we've seen. I'm going to, when the panel's here, yesterday we didn't get to it with Maureen. Today I am going to get to the actual numbers as we know them so far and get on the record as we go into the weekend with where we think the vote is. If you look at the betting markets, and they don't know anything more than we do, I mean, well, generally they don't.
They're all now voting against Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton even making it into the top two. They don't believe at all that Californians are going to let that happen in one way, shape or form. So what we're seeing is the Republicans do well on the day of, and then we slowly watch their leads evaporate as the massive mail-in vote from more left-leaning districts gets tabulated. That's such a nice insurance policy, isn't it? Such a nice insurance policy. Don't you worry, if you don't make it in the day of vote, we got you covered. I mean, we saw that here in Connecticut, where there was film of these Democrat operatives literally stuffing mailboxes full of ballots that they'd managed to get their hands on to try to get that in there, let's shove it in there.
And it just undermines the faith in integrity of elections to allow this kind of voting. I don't care how convenient you want to make it for people. Do we really want to make it that convenient? I mean, these are lazy ass people. If they can't get off their fat asses and get to election polling stations on election day, then we don't want you. Okay, we don't want your vote. Who gives a shit about you? You're too lazy, you're too busy, sure. To make it down to the polling station on election day, then get out, good, goodbye. You don't get to vote. That's how it always has been. Why wasn't that system okay? Because we needed to widen the field so we could get people too lazy to get down there to have their ballot counted. I mean, it's just absurd. If you don't prioritize the vote, your vote shouldn't be prioritized.
So what we know today is that decision desk is projecting the former California Attorney General and HHS Secretary under Biden, Javier Becerra, is moving on to the general election. So Becerra, who was in no man's land in this entire election until Swalwell bit it and then rocketed up, is now secure. His place is secure. Republican Steve Hilton, who's been leading the pack from the start, less certain. Yeah. It turns out that the far left loser, Tom Steyer, never seen a tranny, I don't want to throw my arms around or allow into girl sports, is searching. Oh, it's so convenient for Tom Steyer and his billions.
Technically, right now, Steve Hilton still leads the vote total, but the betting markets, they have these two hovering around 50% each. They have Steyer slightly above Steve Hilton last we looked, but only by a couple of points.
