Unpleasant scene in the ARD: Maischberger guest gossips about Söder and does not notice that he is present 

Maischberger gets Söder upset in an interview with questions about Corona and Laschet.

And bite heart leather against the CSU boss.

After Armin Laschet in the talk show “Maischberger.

Die Woche “was a guest and openly voiced his disappointment about the behavior of Markus Söder, Markus Söder now had the opportunity to clarify his point of view.

At the beginning of October, Laschet reported to Maischberger about his calls and requests to Söder: "Markus, leave it!" Talk on first the ball back. The Bavarian Prime Minister once again made it clear where the core problem lay for him: It was not the swipes but the “candidate decision” that would have led to “great uncertainty” both “in the population and above all at the base of the CDU”.

The CSU boss does not accept that he let the Union down, as Maischberger Söder accuses.

The campaign against the "left slide" was done together - and thus averted even greater damage to the CDU.

In conclusion, Söder explains: “Even if Armin Laschet and I would have swayed every day”, he had “the feeling” that a “majority of Germans” were ready for “another option and another idea,” that is, the political change.

The mood of the studio guests is more distant towards Söder than that of Armin Laschet

The mood in the studio is much more distant than during the benevolent talk with Laschet: Instead of a friendly entree, as with the failed CDU chancellor candidate, expert guest Micky Beisenherz declares Söder to be the "loser of the week" because of the increasing corona numbers in the Free State and leaves properly from the leather. Because a “Söder cannot fail”, according to the commentator, it would simply be said from Munich: “All the scientists didn't see it coming.” For that, the “Anti-Armin-Laschet-Booster” would now take revenge, according to Beisenherz gleefully, because Söder will soon offer archenemy "Friedrich Merz the forehead as CDU party chairman". 

“You know that Markus Söder is already connected to us ?!”, the talk show host slows down the expert and switches to Munich, but Söder skilfully brushes the commentator aside with a subordinate sentence: “He likes me,” claims the CSU boss in the direction of Beisenherz and then strictly adds: The situation is much too "serious" to joke about it.

But now it is Maischberger's turn and Söder is probing them.

She enumerates the inactivity in Bavaria, throws Söder the highest incidences in Germany in the counties at the feet.

Söder railed against vaccination refusals and lumped “citizens of the Reich” and “esotericists” into one pot

Söder evades and refers to others.

No. 1 guilty party: "Our friend Jens Spahn".

As the “head of all the authorities in the health sector”, he was the first to proclaim the “end of the epidemic situation”.

Second culprit: AfD-loyal "vaccine opponents", "Reich citizens", "lateral thinkers" and "esotericists" who refuse to take the corona vaccines in principle.

Söder emphasizes: low vaccination rates and high incidences were “naturally linked”.

Söder guilty party No. 3: the Stiko.

The fact is that "vaccination breakthroughs have been underestimated," said the CSU man and points out that the vaccination commission only recommended boosting in old people's homes for people over 70 in late summer.

Markus Söder speaks out in favor of a lockdown for unvaccinated people at Maischberger

Maischberger has the applause on her side when she holds up the mirror to Söder: “Franz Beckenbauer was able to turn every defeat into a victory.

It's the same with you: you never do anything wrong, it was always the others! "Söder barks back:" I didn't say that we did everything right, but you said we did everything wrong! "

Maischberger now turns to the facts, knocks at Söder to see what will happen to the people in Bavaria.

Lockdown for the unvaccinated?

Söder is in favor: "Contact restrictions are the only option we currently have!".

Compulsory vaccination?

Söder - who initially criticized the lack of compulsory vaccination - then spoke out in favor of a “partial compulsory vaccination” - i.e. for the health system and in schools and daycare centers.

Christmas market and stadium events?

Söder: "Christmas market - if only with a mask and without alcohol." In the stadium there must be "upper limits", 2G should apply to visitors and players.

3G in the workplace?

Söder: "Yes.

If you refuse to work from home ”.

Pop singer Roland Kaiser reports at Maischberger about his youth as an orphan in poverty

At the end, Roland Kaiser says what many have suspected for a long time: There is a lot of joke in Schlager. His first hit "Santa Maria" was originally about Columbus' flagship and the discovery of America - but the producer waved it off: "The ship cannot work ..." One night Kaiser then "exaggerated" as he could and his hit In one night it was rewritten as a Schnulzen ballad. “How much alcohol did you drink?” Maischberger wants to know. “A bottle of wine”, the pop star admits spontaneously.

Almost devoutly, Maischberger fades in a picture from 2002: The SPD general secretary at the time presented Roland Kaiser with an SPD party book.

Kaiser tells of his childhood in poverty.

Son of a supposed prostitute, grew up with a simple cleaning lady, his foster mother in Wedding in Berlin: one-room household, coal stove, no bathroom.

Kaiser is nevertheless grateful: “She endowed me with great values, she loved me.” When his mother died, Kaiser lived in the home for a while.

The SPD was the "political home" of this woman, so Kaiser and so his closeness to the Social Democrats has grown.

Maischberger: "Which song would you sing for Olaf Scholz's inauguration?" Kaiser ambiguous - with laughter on his side: "Why didn't you say 'No'?"

Conclusion of the “Maischberger.

The week "talks

Tight Söder update, which, despite all the criticism, probably brought the Prime Minister more pluses in the end than expected at the beginning.

In addition, interesting insight into the life of Roland Kaiser, which made the Schlagerbarden appear in a whole new light.
