Overview

• Markus Söder labeled Robert Habeck “kein guter Wirtschaftsminister,” claimed he was voted out, and argued his record ranks among the worst for the post.
• He accused Habeck of having “Mist gebaut,” blaming the end of the e-car subsidy for a market slump and asserting the minister bore responsibility.
• He promoted regionalizing the inheritance tax so states could set their own rates, saying SPD-led Länder could raise it as Bavaria cuts it.
• He denounced the Länderfinanzausgleich as “die größte Sauerei” and a “Riesenscheiß,” complaining about Bavaria’s large net contributions.
• He renewed his call for reinstating conscription, contending voluntary recruitment falls short, as guests Anna Lehmann and 17-year-old Otto Ellerbrock criticized the rhetoric and tone.
