The velar quality of /k/ is audible in the velarization of the preceding nasal, and its voiceless quality merges with the following voiceless fricative /s/. It is normal for stops in the middle of consonant clusters to be elided or reduced, especially at normal speech rates. | |

But I always attributed this to his accent. (Wikipedia says he was born in a German-speaking community in the United States.) | |
