Podcast appearances and mentions of remy danton

Kevin Spacey är på tapeten på nytt, varför vi påminner oss om handlingen i den första säsongen av House of Cards, en produktion han fick lämna i samband med #Metoo skandalerna... - Frank Underwood, en makthungrig demokratisk kongressledamot från South Carolina och parlamentets majoritetspiska , firar 2012 års val av president Garrett Walker, som hade gått med på att utse honom till utrikesminister i utbyte mot hans stöd. Underwood får dock veta att presidenten vill att han ska främja sin agenda i kongressen och kommer inte att respektera deras överenskommelse. Invärtes sjudande presenterar Underwood sig själv som en hjälpsam löjtnant för Walker. I verkligheten börjar Underwood en utarbetad plan bakom presidentens rygg. Franks fru Claire driver en NGO , Clean Water Initiative, som hon använder för att odla sin egen kraft; hon försöker utöka dess räckvidd till den internationella scenen, ofta med hjälp av Franks kopplingar. Claire delar sin mans kallhjärtade, hänsynslösa pragmatism och maktbegär, och de planerar ofta tillsammans för att säkerställa framgången för varandras satsningar. De arbetar båda med Remy Danton, en företagslobbyist och tidigare Underwood-anställd, för att säkra pengar för sin verksamhet och utöka sitt inflytande. Underwood inleder ett symbiotiskt och i slutändan sexuellt förhållande med Zoe Barnes, en ung politisk reporter, som i hemlighet matar henne med skadliga berättelser om hans politiska rivaler för att påverka opinionen efter behov. Samtidigt manipulerar han Peter Russo, en orolig alkoholiserad kongressledamot från Pennsylvania , för att hjälpa honom att undergräva Walkers val till utrikesminister, senator Michael Kern. Underwood låter så småningom ersätta Kern med sitt eget val, senator Catherine Durant. Underwood använder också Russo i en komplott för att avsluta en lärarstrejk och godkänna ett utbildningsförslag, vilket förbättrar Underwoods ställning med Walker. Eftersom den nye vicepresidenten är den tidigare guvernören i Pennsylvania, ska ett särskilt val hållas för hans efterträdare. Underwood hjälper Russo att bli ren och stöder hans kandidatur, men använder senare sexarbetaren Rachel Posner för att bryta sin nykterhet och utlösa hans fall kort före valet. När Russo bestämmer sig för att berätta om sin roll i Underwoods planer, dödar Frank Russo och iscensätter hans död som ett självmord. Med det särskilda valet i kaos övertygar Underwood vicepresidenten att avgå och kandidera för sin gamla position som guvernör – och lämnar vicepresidentskapet öppet för Underwood, vilket var hans plan hela tiden. Underwood presenteras för Missouri-miljardären Raymond Tusk, Walkers vän och rådgivare. Tusk avslöjar att han har påverkat Walkers beslut hela tiden och övertygat honom om att säga upp det ursprungliga avtalet, och förklarar att han kommer att påverka Walker att nominera Underwood till vicepresident om han gör en tjänst som gynnar Tusks intressen. Underwood motföreslår Tusk att de arbetar tillsammans för att uppfylla båda sina intressen, vilket Tusk accepterar. Under tiden, efter att ha avslutat deras affär, börjar Zoe plocka ihop ledtrådar om Underwoods olika planer. Säsongen slutar när Underwood accepterar nomineringen till vicepresident i USA .

It’s “House of Cards” week on DecodeDC. We are helping get YOU ready for the release of Season 3 of the Netflix series with a five-podcast special series, “Inside House of Cards.” Today’s installment – the third – is all about the business, or maybe the bloodsport, of lobbying and politics. One day, you’re an elected official or a political staff member. The next, you’re a member of a K Street firm trying your best to influence the very same government officials and legislators you just worked with.That’s the revolving door Jimmy Williams spun through when he went from Senate staffer to lobbyist. In the Netflix series, Remy Danton is a former press secretary and protege of Frank Underwood turned lobbyist. He uses his connections and contacts on behalf of one main client, an energy company. Jimmy Williams says Danton is a great character – he’s just not realistic. “You know what a lobbyist does in Washington, D.C.?” he rhetorically asks podcast host Andrea Seabrook. “Fund-raises. Nothing more and nothing less.” Williams says being a successful lobbyist means raising and delivering the most cash to a politician. “You raise the most money, you have the most access.” And it’s all legal. We go inside the real and fictional world of lobbying in today’s installment of “Inside House of Cards.”

February has been a brutal month for most of us – snow and cold and ice and kids home from school and trips cancelled. Perhaps the only thing that redeems this month is the release of season three of “House of Cards” on Feb. 27. Perhaps it is our fascination with the dysfunction of Washington that makes the Netflix drama so irresistible. Perhaps it’s the fact that the series takes you where no journalist is allowed to go - into the fantastical and not so fantastical political wheeling and dealing going on all around us – with a large dose of dramatic license. Where exactly is that line between truth, fiction and Washington politics? That’s the question we try to answer with a special series of podcasts – that’s right, it is “House of Cards” week on DecodeDC. Whether you are a series fan or just want to get the inside scoop on the dirtiest deeds of politicians, journalists and the political operatives that occupy Washington, you will definitely want to listen. **Spoiler alert – we’re going to talk about things that happened in seasons one and two.** In case you missed the first two seasons – here are the essentials. Francis Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, has wheedled and schemed his way from Congress to the vice presidency to the Oval Office. Together with his equally conniving wife, Claire, played by Robin Wright, they knock down every conceivable barrier, using any means necessary, in their quest for power. Along the way there’s murder, blackmail, a risque assortment of sexual forays, a crazy trade deal with China, a lot of seduction and deception. Those on the Underwoods’ side are rewarded, those obstructing their path are mowed down. Where do these people come up with these plots? We go to the sources for the answer. In episode one of “Inside House of Cards,” we take you into the writers room. Staff writer Bill Kennedy explains the narrative and the relationships and the key scenes that define seasons one and two. Journalism takes a shellacking in the series and in our second episode, we speak with Matt Bai, formally a political reporter at The New York Times Magazine. Bai plays a political reporter for The New York Times in season two and says the series gets at some essential truths about Washington and journalism. In episode three, we enter the world of Capitol-Hill-staffer-turned-lobbyist. Jimmy Williams has led the real life of one of the fictional characters in the series, Remy Danton. Williams says the life of a lobbyist is about one thing, raising money for members of Congress. House of Cards has a lot of nasty people, but some of the nastiest are female reporters. In episode four, we talk to two real-life women journalists who cover Washington -- Pam Kirkland of the Washington Post, the paper fictionalized in "House of Cards", and Carrie Wells of the Baltimore Sun, stand-in and real life set for the imagined "Washington Herald." In our fifth and final episode, we speak with Beau Willimon, the man behind the series. Willimon adapted the British version of “House of Cards” for the American audience and runs the show. A former campaign staffer, Willimon knows how the system works from the inside out, and as playwright he knows how to do drama. Download the DecodeDC's "Inside House of Cards" special series starting today and all next week – or, you can just binge listen to them all before the 27th!
