- Aktuelle Stunde on nuclear powerDeputy group chair, in opposition
- Procedural debate on the judge electionsFirst Parliamentary Secretary

Only the 2016 and 2019 pages were confirmed to show a video of his contribution; the others are Bundestag reports on debates in which he spoke, from which the media library recording can be reached. A complete, dated list of verified speeches is on the speeches page.
Section C — why video matters here
Watching rather than reading
For a minister who has been in office only since late July 2026, much of the public record is spoken: a handover speech, a budget speech, a podcast, a talk show. Video shows things a transcript cannot, such as tone, the reactions in the chamber and what was said in reply to a question. It also allows anyone to check the quotations used on this site against the original.
The choice of formats is itself part of the story. According to Handelsblatt, the Chancellor had asked Bilger to communicate better than his predecessor, and in his first weeks he appeared on a podcast and an ARD talk show, before giving his first Bundestag speech as minister in September. Whether that changes how transport policy is received is for viewers to judge.
Two cautions apply. Clips published by the ministry are selected by the ministry; for the full context of a talk-show exchange, the broadcaster's own recording is the better source. And videos on personal channels are campaign or constituency communication, not official government material. For the written record, see statements; for photographs, see media and photography.
