In this episode, Dr. Valdes talks about a video that a priest named James Altman posted about how Democrats can never be Catholic. Father Altman continues to spew hatred and ugliness, calling DACA children criminals, young men/women brought here against their will who have shed their blood defending our Freedom, that same freedom that allows a priest to spew hatred and horror condemning people to hell. People like this are the reason why I love Jesus and hate Most of His so-called "believers."

Episode #33 - Narco Mindset Podcast - What is ugly about America Today
In this episode, Dr. Valdes talks about James Altucher's article on how New York was not coming back this time. Interestingly enough another New Yorker, Jerry Seinfeld attacked him vehemently in another opinion piece. Seinfeld did not refute Altucher’s very well laid out arguments, he simply attached the man personally with very ugly language. This is what is happening in America today there is no longer dialogue, it's simply camps of warriors waiting to attack those that think differently. We must bring civility back.

Episode #28 - Narco Mindset Podcast - How can we become civil again? Part 2
Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Valdes talks about how we can not make people like us but we surely can make people respect us. He depicts his struggles coming to America and being discriminated against. How he had to work three times as hard just to be accepted and recognized. Yet, for Dr. Valdes working three times as hard did not make him Angry instead it made him better. We are living in hateful times and perhaps it is a great idea if we start a civility movement where a person calls an old friend or relatives and invites him/her to dinner if they live in the same town and spend a night talking about everything but politics, perhaps remembering what made them close friends, or if they are relative remembering the times growing up and fun shared together. If we live far away then let us use technology to have an hour of sharing wine and cheese or coffee, and do the same. Somehow we must go back to being civil again.

What is the Ultimate Narco Mindset?
As a young man, before I joined the cartel, I looked at gangsters as the ultimate man. They had power, people feared them, lived a luxurious life, and it seemed that they had all the women. As an up and coming young executive with the Federal Reserve Bank, with immense potential, I also was fascinated by these people, and deep down inside I wanted to be like them, without the criminal element. So, I found myself rooting for the bad guy even though I knew they were horrible human beings that had caused a lot of pain to many people.

ALL THE PROTEST IN THE WORLD WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING UNTIL WE HAVE CRIMINAL and SOCIAL JUSTICE REFORM
After being released from prison, twenty-five years ago, I began to speak to African American and Latino gangs across America. I saw the hatred among these young people, not only for those of the opposite color but also for many of their own. I began to hear their stories, and the one common denominator that most of them shared was being born in the wrong place to parents who were out of control, in jail, or addicted to drugs and no opportunity for an education. Their only form of schooling and ""parenting"" was provided by the gangs themselves. For many of these young men and women, positive role models were not there, but the gang became their security, their parent, their schoolteacher, and their pastor-like leader.

Episode #23 - Narco Mindset Podcast - We shall be Free
In this episode Dr. Valdes talks about how the song WE SHALL BE FREE BY
GARTH BROOKS in 1992 is so much more relevant today than it was in 1992. In the song Garth talks about when we would truly be free, yet as we see the lyrics we realize that nothing has changed in 28 years. We still look at the color of people’s skin, we have homeless people dying and in a country with a serious obesity problem we have children going to be hungry every day.CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE »

Episode #22 - Narco Mindset Podcast - Challenges that people of color face - Part 2
In this episode, Dr. Valdes addresses the challenges our nation faces today as a result of some police brutality and a sorely neglected community, finally erupting as a result of the many years of abuse.
For Dr. Valdes, a person of color, he sees the problem is much more complicated. Dr. Valdes stresses that it is vital that we do not judge the many good police officers who leave their homes every day and risk not coming home so that they can protect the community they serve. This specific incident to Dr. Valdes it almost seems like the officer was possessed.
Dr. Valdes believes that no matter how much of America we burn and destroy, it will never change other's perceptions against people of color; on the contrary, the looting and vandalism only affirm the belief for those who dislike people of color.
The crux of the problem that needs addressing is criminal justice reform, here is where all the issues lie. In the year 2016, in Georgia of the 8760 people convicted of drug offenses, 22% were white, and 78% were people of color. This is where all the leaders who want to make a difference need to direct their energies to; it is in the ballot boxes and in Washington DC, where we need to stand and protest.
Last, Lebron James is the model to follow, we who succeed can not abandon our communities we must reinvest in them. Sadly, the minute a person of color makes it the first thing they do is leave their town and move to the white suburbs where the people we criticize the most live.
