Alexandra Geese On EU AI Healthcare, Sanders Targets Big Tech, Bolivia Revolts
Alexandra Geese explains EU lessons on AI and healthcare as Sanders challenges AI oligarchs and Bolivia erupts against elite betrayal.
📢 Introductory Paragraph for the Radio Show
This morning, Politics Done Right connects three stories that reveal one truth: democracy cannot survive when oligarchs, algorithms, and political elites control people’s lives. European Parliament Member Alexandra Geese lays out how Europe approaches AI, healthcare, and public responsibility in ways the United States must study. Bernie Sanders pushes legislation to make the public a 50% stakeholder in giant AI corporations so the wealth created by collective human knowledge benefits everyone, not just billionaires. And in Bolivia, the people are rising after political leaders betrayed campaign promises and imposed neoliberal pain on the majority. This is not just policy. This is power.
🧠 10 Talking Points
Alexandra Geese’s EU perspective matters because Europe treats AI as a public-interest challenge, not merely a profit machine.
The United States must learn from Europe’s willingness to regulate technology before corporations lock in harm, exploitation, and monopoly control.
AI in healthcare can improve outcomes only when patients, doctors, transparency, and accountability remain at the center.
The American healthcare system already allows insurers, private equity, and tech vendors to extract wealth from sickness; AI could worsen that unless people demand public rules.
Bernie Sanders’ proposal for a 50% public stake in major AI companies challenges the core question: who owns the wealth created from humanity’s collective knowledge?
AI giants rely on public research, public data, public infrastructure, and the creativity of ordinary people, so the benefits must flow back to the public.
Big Tech oligarchs want artificial intelligence to become another wealth-concentration machine, but democracy requires shared ownership and public oversight.
Bolivia’s revolt shows what happens when political representatives campaign on relief and then govern for elites, markets, and austerity.
Neoliberalism always tells working people to sacrifice while protecting the powerful; Bolivia reminds the world that people eventually resist betrayal.
These stories connect across continents: Europe’s regulatory model, Sanders’ public-ownership demand, and Bolivia’s uprising all point to a global fight for democracy over corporate rule.

I remember sitting in my office one night when I screamed at the TV because the purported liberal media was asking all the wrong and irrelevant questions. I remember reading blogs that were just milktoast. I remember the night when I said somebody needs to do something about it. I realized then that there are many of us who ask that question, who know t…
