Episode 82 of Straight Politicking discusses the shocking scandal involving former Cal State Bakersfield assistant basketball coach Kevin Mays. The episode details the allegations against Mays, who was charged with multiple felonies including human trafficking and pimping while serving on the coaching staff. The discussion explores the fallout of these charges, which ultimately led to the departure of longtime head coach Rod Barnes and a subsequent lawsuit from the athletic director.
Federal indictment “Operation Dead Horse,” is a major federal crackdown targeting the 18th Street gang and its ties to the Mexican Mafia. This segment features clips of the FBI announcing high-profile arrests in the MacArthur Park area and raises the critical question of whether federal intervention can truly dismantle such a deeply rooted transnational organization.
The harrowing case of Deputy Aimee Hidalgo, charged in the fatal shooting of her fiancée, Brittany Shaw, in their Tustin apartment just months before their planned wedding. The narrative then moves behind prison walls to profile Jon Blaylock, described as one of the most violent inmates in the state.
The segment revisits the 2004 killing of Correctional Officer Manuel Gonzalez at the California Institution for Men, a tragedy that resulted in a million-dollar settlement for the Gonzalez family. With the inclusion of Blaylock’s 2023 mugshot and reports of his continued violence as recently as March 2026, the episode provides a sobering look at the ongoing dangers faced by those working within the correctional system.
