"content": "\u003cp>The Trump administration put into place new restrictions on refugee admissions Tuesday after a 120-day suspension of entries came to an end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump's \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/10/24/presidential-executive-order-resuming-united-states-refugee-admissions\">new executive order\u003c/a> resumes the refugee resettlements but with additional vetting procedures for applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials from the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies said during a press call that the extra review will include officers assigned to help detect fraud and an expansion of the classes of refugees who are subject to higher levels of scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, nationals of 11 countries -- which the officials declined to name -- will be subject to additional restrictions during a 90-day review period and will have their cases reviewed on a \"case-by-case basis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The security of the American people is our highest priority,\" one official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"b8vGaN36lqZYFVgV1QHltcU8C6sg7B2G\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's executive order does not list the 11 countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. State Department officials said in an emailed statement earlier Tuesday that federal agencies had “conducted a review to further intensify the screening process of individuals seeking admission as refugees to uphold the safety of the American people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's order reiterated this theme, stating it is the policy of the United States to protect its people from terrorism and other public safety threats and that screening and vetting of foreigners entering the country \"play a critical role in implementing that policy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspension of refugee entries was originally part of Trump’s travel ban first announced in January, and revised in March following legal challenges. The revised ban, which targeted travelers from six Muslim-majority countries along with refugees, was also challenged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the travel ban \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/06/29/73355/trump-travel-ban-could-be-implemented-thursday/\">to move forward\u003c/a> but said that it could not be applied to people who had “a credible claim of bona fide relationship\" with a person or entity in the United States, like immediate family or a job. An appeals court \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/09/07/75398/appeals-court-grandparents-not-part-of-trump-s-tra/\">ruled in September\u003c/a> that ties to family members like grandparents or cousins would also count as qualifying relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"JX6OUIvr68JrTjNniCXUyDfyOypLlgeF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/07/11/73656/trump-travel-ban-to-hit-refugees-seeking-entry-thi/\">were applied this summer to refugees\u003c/a>, who were not allowed to use their relationship with a U.S. resettlement agency as a qualifying U.S. tie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the travel ban, those from the six Muslim-majority countries -- Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen -- were also required to prove close family or other U.S. ties. Those rules expired late last month, when the Trump administration announced a similar set of country-specific restrictions. These were set to take effect last week, but were blocked by two federal courts and are now on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One part of the latest travel ban affecting North Korea and Venezuela remains in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, refugee resettlement agencies said the vetting process for refugees is already stringent, and can take from a year and a half to several years, depending on the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MBvEdOae5EQpyZ6SYvVzgh8jgiRGirz7\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The vetting process for refugee resettlement involves up to, like, six different agencies,\" said Jose Serrano with World Relief, a refugee resettlement agency with offices in Garden Grove. \"Counter-terrorism organizations, Department of Homeland Security, CBP, FBI, Department of Justice. And even Syrians go through a sixth one. So the truth is refugees already go through a very in-depth screening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those who don't want more refugees in the United States support the idea of longer wait times and more background checks for applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The waits are long, but if they turn out to be slightly longer, well then, that's just something that will have to happen in exchange for the more secure processing of refugees,\" said Joe Guzzardi with Californians for Population Stabilization, an immigration restriction group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration recently announced that the fiscal year 2018 ceiling for refugee admissions to the U.S. has been set at 45,000, the lowest number in years. The Obama administration set a cap of 110,000 last year, a number that was halved after Trump took office.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The revised ban, which targeted travelers from six Muslim-majority countries along with refugees, was also challenged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the travel ban \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/06/29/73355/trump-travel-ban-could-be-implemented-thursday/\">to move forward\u003c/a> but said that it could not be applied to people who had “a credible claim of bona fide relationship\" with a person or entity in the United States, like immediate family or a job. An appeals court \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/09/07/75398/appeals-court-grandparents-not-part-of-trump-s-tra/\">ruled in September\u003c/a> that ties to family members like grandparents or cousins would also count as qualifying relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/07/11/73656/trump-travel-ban-to-hit-refugees-seeking-entry-thi/\">were applied this summer to refugees\u003c/a>, who were not allowed to use their relationship with a U.S. resettlement agency as a qualifying U.S. tie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the travel ban, those from the six Muslim-majority countries -- Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen -- were also required to prove close family or other U.S. ties. Those rules expired late last month, when the Trump administration announced a similar set of country-specific restrictions. These were set to take effect last week, but were blocked by two federal courts and are now on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One part of the latest travel ban affecting North Korea and Venezuela remains in effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, refugee resettlement agencies said the vetting process for refugees is already stringent, and can take from a year and a half to several years, depending on the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The vetting process for refugee resettlement involves up to, like, six different agencies,\" said Jose Serrano with World Relief, a refugee resettlement agency with offices in Garden Grove. \"Counter-terrorism organizations, Department of Homeland Security, CBP, FBI, Department of Justice. And even Syrians go through a sixth one. So the truth is refugees already go through a very in-depth screening.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those who don't want more refugees in the United States support the idea of longer wait times and more background checks for applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The waits are long, but if they turn out to be slightly longer, well then, that's just something that will have to happen in exchange for the more secure processing of refugees,\" said Joe Guzzardi with Californians for Population Stabilization, an immigration restriction group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration recently announced that the fiscal year 2018 ceiling for refugee admissions to the U.S. has been set at 45,000, the lowest number in years. The Obama administration set a cap of 110,000 last year, a number that was halved after Trump took office.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

As \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/05/01/how-hollywood-remembers-steve-bannon\">the New Yorker reported\u003c/a>, the investment bank wanted to \"expand its presence in the entertainment business.\" Soon after, Bannon decided to start his own investment company, and got interested in producing films himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that time, Bannon created his own film company, called Bannon Film Industries, where he worked with his brother, Christopher T. Bannon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film company, like Bannon himself, went on to focus on politics. Its most famous production is probably the anti-Hillary Clinton film \u003cem>Clinton Cash\u003c/em>, based on a book released around the time Clinton launched her 2016 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's not how it started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR's Embedded team unearthed a 1993 article in the \u003cem>Richmond Times-Dispatch\u003c/em>, Bannon's hometown newspaper, featuring the kind of headline you don't usually see associated with Steve Bannon: \"THE FAMOUS CHICKEN IS POISED FOR BARNEY-STYLE CAREER LAUNCH\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Famous Chicken is also known as The San Diego Chicken, who is also known as Ted Giannoulas, who is also known as \"a guy who dons a chicken suit for fun and notoriety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1993, Christopher Bannon co-wrote \u003cem>The Chicken's Greatest Bits\u003c/em>, a 37-minute tape, available by mail order, featuring highlights of some of Giannoulas' act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a lot of film products we're shopping around,\" Christopher Bannon told the newspaper, \"but 'The Chicken's Greatest Bits' is the first one to carry the Bannon Film Industries banner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625021\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625021\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"The Chicken's Greatest Bits, featuring sports mascot the San Diego Chicken, was produced by Bannon Film Industries in 1993.\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-375x248.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 'Chicken's Greatest Bits,' featuring sports mascot the San Diego Chicken, was produced by Bannon Film Industries in 1993. \u003ccite>(Tom Dreiscbach/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to the paper, Bannon Film Industries had big plans for The Famous Chicken, including \"a series of videos, a possible TV show, toys, games and maybe a low-budget movie along the lines of '\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je3jfepymQM\">Ernest Goes to Camp\u003c/a>.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ultimately our goal is to build a Barney-the-dinosaur-like industry,\" Christopher Bannon said\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong> \"This video is really just the gateway event into The Chicken industry, as silly as it sounds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR was able to buy the used VHS tape from Amazon for $2.99.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The Famous Chicken \"laying\" a baseball like an egg.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The \"Grand Hatching,\" where, \"with all the pomp and circumstance of a coronation\" the Chicken punches through a giant 10-foot egg to the soundtrack of \"Thus Spake Zarathustra.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And \"The Homebird Rap,\" where the Chicken performs an \"Ice Ice Baby\" parody song while wearing an American flag jumpsuit, black sunglasses and a Vanilla Ice-esque toupee.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=558906151&mediaId=559057077\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how much direct involvement Steve Bannon had with \u003cem>The Chicken's Greatest Bits\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ted Giannoulas told NPR in an email, \"Thanks for the interest, but I don't have anything to add to your story.\" And Christopher and Steve Bannon did not respond to multiple requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fact that the film was the first to have the Bannon Film Industries banner suggests the company was not launched with politics in mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mindy Affrime, a producer of independent films who describes herself as a \"big lefty,\" met Bannon in the early 1990s. Affrime says she saw no hints of Bannon's ideology in those days. Instead, she says, he focused on projects with buzz or money attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My opinion about Steve and why he did anything he did while he was in Hollywood was it was the lowest-hanging fruit,\" says Affrime.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Big Thinkers' and Shakespeare in Space\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Another piece of evidence that Bannon's views evolved in Hollywood comes from Julia Jones, a screenwriter who worked on and off with Steve Bannon for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones, who is a Bernie Sanders supporter, met Bannon in the early 1990s, and says that she and Bannon planned dozens of projects that had little or nothing to do with politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We adapted Titus Andronicus in outer space,\" Jones says. \"It was a horrible script. Oh, so embarrassing. And we thought it was brilliant!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"DRufHtyGfnF7ZjXU2Mm8awGkv8whwUcy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones provided NPR with a document listing their planned projects as of March 2004, none of which are overtly partisan. This document has not previously been reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On that list was a TV show about ancient philosophers and \"big thinkers\" called \"Those Who Knew.\" (\"He was very into Plato, very into Marcus Aurelius,\" Jones says.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones says they also talked about developing a film about the Carter family — but not the political Carters. They wanted to make a film about the musical Carters (as in June Carter).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are multiple projects on the list featuring melodramatic storylines about naval officers, like \"That Hamilton Woman\" and \"Navy Cross.\" (Bannon was himself a lieutenant in the Navy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some hints of Bannon's ideology in that list, like \"Weedpatch,\" a documentary series that would tell the true stories of working-class struggle that inspired \u003cem>The Grapes Of Wrath\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these projects ever came to fruition.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Ronald Reagan Changed Bannon's Trajectory\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Later in 2004, Bannon got involved with a project that actually got made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a documentary about Ronald Reagan called \u003cem>In The Face Of Evil: Reagan's War In Word And Deed\u003c/em>, and the film dramatically changed his trajectory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film casts Reagan's struggle against the Soviet Union as a war between good and evil. The film's narrator describes communism as just one more example of \"the beast,\" a kind of recurrent evil force that gave the world Bolshevism, fascism and Nazism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film was not a major success. It has an 11 percent rating on the review aggregator \u003ca href=\"https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/reagan_in_the_face_of_evil\">Rotten Tomatoes\u003c/a>, and the film grossed only $110,000, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=inthefaceofevil.htm\">Box Office Mojo\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ZxOpmOi54CF9gVKosJbpzL8N9m6WWOaE\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Bannon screened the film at a conservative film festival in Los Angeles, and according to Joshua Green, author of \u003cem>Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency\u003c/em>, that's where Bannon met Andrew Breitbart. At the time, Breitbart had just co-written a book that excoriated Hollywood's culture of celebrity, and would soon start making plans for his own website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breitbart often described using the tools of Hollywood to take down what he saw as the liberal media and political elite. Bannon was attracted to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Breitbart had this effect on a lot of people, not just Steve Bannon,\" Joshua Green says, \"the idea that he was this kind of pied piper, who was doing something very fun and exciting and important and doing it, you know, in the belly of the beast — in liberal Hollywood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that same time, Bannon also met David Bossie, the head of the conservative group Citizens United, a key source of funding for conservative documentaries. Bannon and Bossie would both go on years later to hold top positions in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at that point, the list of projects from Steve Bannon and Julia Jones changes. Jones provided NPR with a second document from November 2004, which includes many overtly partisan projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some examples:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\"Michael Moore Hates America\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Jihad: The War Against the West\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Is It True What They Say About Ann (The Ann Coulter Project)\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The bottom of the document also includes this paragraph, \"The key to the success of the conservative documentary lies in tying together compatible funding sources, e.g., the NRA, church and political groups, while leveraging off the media base of AM Talk Radio and Cable news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, Jones says, Bannon told her he wanted to be \"the Leni Riefenstahl of the GOP.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riefenstahl was an infamous and highly effective German propagandist, who made films for the Nazis. And it seems Bannon has \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/12/steve-bannon-films-movies-documentaries-trump-hollywood-214495\">embraced the association.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones says Bannon simply became too political for her, and the two eventually parted ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"sr2iCqD79CTaxuIvAZFJECKCyehDKALI\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Subsequently, Bannon focused on political documentaries like \u003cem>District of Corruption\u003c/em>,\u003cem> Generation Zero \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Battle for America\u003c/em>. And while obtaining funding for independent films proved difficult, Bannon found a steadier stream of funding for conservative films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That strategy ended up propelling Bannon to Breitbart News and eventually his job as chief strategist at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon learned from Andrew Breitbart how to use the tools of Hollywood against its elites. Now he's trying to take those lessons to blow up the Republican establishment and keep himself at the center of American politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

As \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/05/01/how-hollywood-remembers-steve-bannon\">the New Yorker reported\u003c/a>, the investment bank wanted to \"expand its presence in the entertainment business.\" Soon after, Bannon decided to start his own investment company, and got interested in producing films himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that time, Bannon created his own film company, called Bannon Film Industries, where he worked with his brother, Christopher T. Bannon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film company, like Bannon himself, went on to focus on politics. Its most famous production is probably the anti-Hillary Clinton film \u003cem>Clinton Cash\u003c/em>, based on a book released around the time Clinton launched her 2016 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's not how it started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR's Embedded team unearthed a 1993 article in the \u003cem>Richmond Times-Dispatch\u003c/em>, Bannon's hometown newspaper, featuring the kind of headline you don't usually see associated with Steve Bannon: \"THE FAMOUS CHICKEN IS POISED FOR BARNEY-STYLE CAREER LAUNCH\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Famous Chicken is also known as The San Diego Chicken, who is also known as Ted Giannoulas, who is also known as \"a guy who dons a chicken suit for fun and notoriety.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1993, Christopher Bannon co-wrote \u003cem>The Chicken's Greatest Bits\u003c/em>, a 37-minute tape, available by mail order, featuring highlights of some of Giannoulas' act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a lot of film products we're shopping around,\" Christopher Bannon told the newspaper, \"but 'The Chicken's Greatest Bits' is the first one to carry the Bannon Film Industries banner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625021\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625021\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"The Chicken's Greatest Bits, featuring sports mascot the San Diego Chicken, was produced by Bannon Film Industries in 1993.\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-375x248.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/BannonChicken-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 'Chicken's Greatest Bits,' featuring sports mascot the San Diego Chicken, was produced by Bannon Film Industries in 1993. \u003ccite>(Tom Dreiscbach/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to the paper, Bannon Film Industries had big plans for The Famous Chicken, including \"a series of videos, a possible TV show, toys, games and maybe a low-budget movie along the lines of '\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je3jfepymQM\">Ernest Goes to Camp\u003c/a>.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ultimately our goal is to build a Barney-the-dinosaur-like industry,\" Christopher Bannon said\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong> \"This video is really just the gateway event into The Chicken industry, as silly as it sounds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR was able to buy the used VHS tape from Amazon for $2.99.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The Famous Chicken \"laying\" a baseball like an egg.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The \"Grand Hatching,\" where, \"with all the pomp and circumstance of a coronation\" the Chicken punches through a giant 10-foot egg to the soundtrack of \"Thus Spake Zarathustra.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And \"The Homebird Rap,\" where the Chicken performs an \"Ice Ice Baby\" parody song while wearing an American flag jumpsuit, black sunglasses and a Vanilla Ice-esque toupee.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=558906151&mediaId=559057077\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how much direct involvement Steve Bannon had with \u003cem>The Chicken's Greatest Bits\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ted Giannoulas told NPR in an email, \"Thanks for the interest, but I don't have anything to add to your story.\" And Christopher and Steve Bannon did not respond to multiple requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fact that the film was the first to have the Bannon Film Industries banner suggests the company was not launched with politics in mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mindy Affrime, a producer of independent films who describes herself as a \"big lefty,\" met Bannon in the early 1990s. Affrime says she saw no hints of Bannon's ideology in those days. Instead, she says, he focused on projects with buzz or money attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My opinion about Steve and why he did anything he did while he was in Hollywood was it was the lowest-hanging fruit,\" says Affrime.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Big Thinkers' and Shakespeare in Space\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Another piece of evidence that Bannon's views evolved in Hollywood comes from Julia Jones, a screenwriter who worked on and off with Steve Bannon for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones, who is a Bernie Sanders supporter, met Bannon in the early 1990s, and says that she and Bannon planned dozens of projects that had little or nothing to do with politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We adapted Titus Andronicus in outer space,\" Jones says. \"It was a horrible script. Oh, so embarrassing. And we thought it was brilliant!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones provided NPR with a document listing their planned projects as of March 2004, none of which are overtly partisan. This document has not previously been reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On that list was a TV show about ancient philosophers and \"big thinkers\" called \"Those Who Knew.\" (\"He was very into Plato, very into Marcus Aurelius,\" Jones says.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones says they also talked about developing a film about the Carter family — but not the political Carters. They wanted to make a film about the musical Carters (as in June Carter).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are multiple projects on the list featuring melodramatic storylines about naval officers, like \"That Hamilton Woman\" and \"Navy Cross.\" (Bannon was himself a lieutenant in the Navy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some hints of Bannon's ideology in that list, like \"Weedpatch,\" a documentary series that would tell the true stories of working-class struggle that inspired \u003cem>The Grapes Of Wrath\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these projects ever came to fruition.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Ronald Reagan Changed Bannon's Trajectory\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Later in 2004, Bannon got involved with a project that actually got made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a documentary about Ronald Reagan called \u003cem>In The Face Of Evil: Reagan's War In Word And Deed\u003c/em>, and the film dramatically changed his trajectory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film casts Reagan's struggle against the Soviet Union as a war between good and evil. The film's narrator describes communism as just one more example of \"the beast,\" a kind of recurrent evil force that gave the world Bolshevism, fascism and Nazism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film was not a major success. It has an 11 percent rating on the review aggregator \u003ca href=\"https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/reagan_in_the_face_of_evil\">Rotten Tomatoes\u003c/a>, and the film grossed only $110,000, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=inthefaceofevil.htm\">Box Office Mojo\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Bannon screened the film at a conservative film festival in Los Angeles, and according to Joshua Green, author of \u003cem>Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency\u003c/em>, that's where Bannon met Andrew Breitbart. At the time, Breitbart had just co-written a book that excoriated Hollywood's culture of celebrity, and would soon start making plans for his own website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breitbart often described using the tools of Hollywood to take down what he saw as the liberal media and political elite. Bannon was attracted to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Breitbart had this effect on a lot of people, not just Steve Bannon,\" Joshua Green says, \"the idea that he was this kind of pied piper, who was doing something very fun and exciting and important and doing it, you know, in the belly of the beast — in liberal Hollywood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around that same time, Bannon also met David Bossie, the head of the conservative group Citizens United, a key source of funding for conservative documentaries. Bannon and Bossie would both go on years later to hold top positions in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at that point, the list of projects from Steve Bannon and Julia Jones changes. Jones provided NPR with a second document from November 2004, which includes many overtly partisan projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some examples:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\"Michael Moore Hates America\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Jihad: The War Against the West\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"Is It True What They Say About Ann (The Ann Coulter Project)\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The bottom of the document also includes this paragraph, \"The key to the success of the conservative documentary lies in tying together compatible funding sources, e.g., the NRA, church and political groups, while leveraging off the media base of AM Talk Radio and Cable news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, Jones says, Bannon told her he wanted to be \"the Leni Riefenstahl of the GOP.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riefenstahl was an infamous and highly effective German propagandist, who made films for the Nazis. And it seems Bannon has \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/12/steve-bannon-films-movies-documentaries-trump-hollywood-214495\">embraced the association.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones says Bannon simply became too political for her, and the two eventually parted ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Subsequently, Bannon focused on political documentaries like \u003cem>District of Corruption\u003c/em>,\u003cem> Generation Zero \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Battle for America\u003c/em>. And while obtaining funding for independent films proved difficult, Bannon found a steadier stream of funding for conservative films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That strategy ended up propelling Bannon to Breitbart News and eventually his job as chief strategist at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We have found that the golf club's charitable giving has followed the same pattern — falling far short of what the organization claimed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as this summer, the club declared on its website: \"We are proud to have provided $5 million to the following charitable causes since our opening.\" It listed nearly 200 recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For weeks, NPR's \u003cem>Embedded\u003c/em> podcast and conflicts-of-interest team combed through that list to verify the assertions.\u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2797213/Trump-Donations.pdf\"> NPR cross-referenced the golf club's website with a document\u003c/a> that the Trump campaign gave to The Associated Press in 2015, detailing charitable gifts from 2010 to 2015. NPR also called and emailed dozens of organizations to find out whether they have a record of a donation from the Trump National Golf Club, the Trump Organization or VH Property Corp., the LLC that technically owns the golf course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That reporting suggests the club's donations have fallen well short of $5 million and are much closer to approximately $800,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/558352411/558558747\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR has repeatedly contacted the Trump Organization and the golf club manager, sending questions via phone calls, emails, letters and a fax message.

In early September, about a month into NPR's reporting, the Trump Organization took down the list of organizations from its website and removed the claim about having donated $5 million.

The discrepancies involve the amounts of gifts and numbers of recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through interviews and examinations of publicly available documents, here's what NPR has found:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Seventeen organizations listed on the Trump National website said that they could not find any record of a donation from the golf club.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Several organizations listed on the website are not charities at all. The list includes a city government, a state agency and a branch of the U.S. military.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Most organizations received small contributions from the golf club, including donations of $140. Most of the contributions to organizations on the list were not in the form of cash but in-kind donations, like a gift certificate for a round of golf or \"Sunday brunch for two.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In the end, NPR was able to confirm only about $800,000 in donations, less than one-fifth of what was claimed.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[TrumpGiving]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Missing Donations and Discrepancies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As several organizations pointed out, the fact that 17 of them could not find a record of a donation does not necessarily mean they never received one. It could suggest that the donations were not significant enough to be remembered or written down, or it might be chalked up to a lack of precision in naming the recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the Trump Campaign document listed more than $21,000 in donations to the \"UCLA Foundation\" and the \"UCLA Women's Golf Program.\" Brian Haas, a spokesman for the university, said UCLA searched multiple times for records of donations, but came up empty-handed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are unaware of these particular donations,\" Haas wrote in an email. \"If you can coax some additional information from the Trump Organization, perhaps that would help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"rFyxKo32ECifNdOhdcK1YHBkIwYr2KC9\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump website also cited a donation to \"Cystic Fibrosis\" — as in the genetic disease, rather than a specific charity supporting research. The Trump Campaign document also has an entry for a $1,182.50 donation to \"Child Abuse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several organizations listed are not charities at all, such as the City of Avalon, California, and the California Department of Veteran Affairs. Both said they could find no record of a donation from Trump or his golf club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the entry for a $152.14 donation to the \"U.S. Department of the Navy.\" (That amount indicates the donation was for a gift certificate for \"Sunday brunch or two\" at the golf club.) In an email, a Navy official told NPR, \"We have no information about whether or how this specific gift was given to the Navy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of organizations in the Rancho Palos Verdes area do report receiving \"generous\" cash contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example comes from John Williams. A former Kiwanis Club president, Williams now runs the Peninsula Symphony, a small orchestra that performs free concerts. He says Trump helped support the Kiwanis Club's Palos Verdes Marathon from 2005 to 2007, with three donations of $15,000 each, and has supported the symphony through in-kind donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would have to say he's been a very good community supporter,\" Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>In-kind Donations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>NPR's other key finding was that overwhelmingly, charitable giving by Trump National involved gift certificates, such as the \"Sunday brunch for two\" or \"twosome for golf\" (worth approximately $600).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em> has \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-portrait-of-trump-the-donor-free-rounds-of-golf-but-no-personal-cash/2016/04/10/373b9b92-fb40-11e5-9140-e61d062438bb_story.html?utm_term=.fe3ad4ea93f4\">documented\u003c/a> that Trump properties around the country also prefer this type of donation. Some nonprofits welcome such gifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It may not be altruism. It may just be marketing his business.'\u003ccite>Daniel Borochoff, CharityWatch\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Judith Opdahl, the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancersupportredondobeach.org/\">Cancer Support Community Redondo Beach\u003c/a>, did not offer specific dollar amounts but says the Trump Organization has been \"very philanthropic\" by providing discounted event space and in-kind donations for charity auctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Borochoff, of the charity watchdog CharityWatch, says many companies use in-kind donations as a way to promote their business and build goodwill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the public or potential customers have good feelings towards the business, they're more likely to play golf there or shop there,\" Borochoff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he is skeptical about the value of such philanthropy, noting that such donations help build the Trump brand and bring in new customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may not be altruism,\" Borochoff said. \"It may just be marketing his business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borochoff says another reason companies offer in-kind donations is that such gifts rarely cost the company much money. They also frequently come with strings attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"fYC7k4IloWdidnt6quuJg3b6SSC9DqcR\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cui.edu/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=S1iocEalHjA%3D&portalid=0&language=en-US\">charity event held by Concordia University, Irvine\u003c/a> auctioned a \"twosome of Golf\" at the Trump golf club. But the gift certificate was valid only Mondays through Thursdays and expired within six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, experts say, cash donations are also much more valuable to a charity than in-kind donations. To turn a gift certificate into cash, a charity typically must hold an auction, which takes time and effort. And the bid usually comes in at less than the market value of the in-kind donation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacob Harold, the president of GuideStar, which tracks nonprofits, says when companies claim an in-kind donation is worth the full sticker price, it can create a false impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you are saying, 'We gave $5 million away over the last few years,' and that's at market prices,\" says Harold, \"that's actually somewhat misleading.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Controversial Source for the $5 Million Estimate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So how does the total charitable giving of Trump's golf club stack up? NPR was able to verify only about $800,000 in charitable gifts, even treating in-kind donations at full market value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the Trump Organization did not respond, NPR could not ask how the club reached the $5 million figure listed on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible the club was including a sometimes controversial federal tax break: conservation easements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January 2015, Trump made an agreement with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to set aside the golf course's 11.5-acre driving range as environmentally valuable open space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"XzZs3sMTB9Fc5FpydKa5CTq40Kp5g1Vy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The easement protects the land and prohibits harmful uses on the property such as dumping, landfill, and also has restrictions on waste and impermeable surfacing among many other items,\" said a \u003ca href=\"http://pvplc.org/_news/docs/releases/TrumpConEasementEDNoQuote.pdf\">press release\u003c/a> from the land conservancy. \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybreeze.com/environment-and-nature/20150115/donald-trump-turns-over-115-acre-easement-in-rancho-palos-verdes-for-open-space\">Trump said\u003c/a> the easement represented a significant gift, because the land was worth \"much more than $25 million,\" and he could get a windfall if he built and sold houses on that property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/review-finds-trumps-charity-donations-modest/\">as The Associated Press has reported\u003c/a>, it's unclear whether Trump ever had concrete plans to build houses on the property. City officials also told NPR that Trump faced significant barriers to building because of the area's geological instability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservation easements can help protect the environment and can also offer valuable tax breaks for companies, especially golf courses. They've also come under \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-land-donations-put-him-in-line-for-conservation-tax-breaks-1457656717\">increased scrutiny from the Internal Revenue Service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's California golf course before and after the agreement looks the same. The driving range is still a driving range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The smell test isn't great in that case,\" Harold, of GuideStar, said. Claiming a charitable donation for preserving a driving range as open space \"doesn't feel like a sacrifice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear what, if any, deductions Trump or the Trump Organization claimed from the easement agreement. The land conservancy itself says it does not assign dollar values to the land. So that may be a question only Trump's tax returns can answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has not released those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>If your organization has received a donation from Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles, or if you believe your organization was wrongly included on the golf club's website, please let us know.

The discrepancies involve the amounts of gifts and numbers of recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through interviews and examinations of publicly available documents, here's what NPR has found:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Seventeen organizations listed on the Trump National website said that they could not find any record of a donation from the golf club.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Several organizations listed on the website are not charities at all. The list includes a city government, a state agency and a branch of the U.S. military.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Most organizations received small contributions from the golf club, including donations of $140. Most of the contributions to organizations on the list were not in the form of cash but in-kind donations, like a gift certificate for a round of golf or \"Sunday brunch for two.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In the end, NPR was able to confirm only about $800,000 in donations, less than one-fifth of what was claimed.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[TrumpGiving]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Missing Donations and Discrepancies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As several organizations pointed out, the fact that 17 of them could not find a record of a donation does not necessarily mean they never received one. It could suggest that the donations were not significant enough to be remembered or written down, or it might be chalked up to a lack of precision in naming the recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the Trump Campaign document listed more than $21,000 in donations to the \"UCLA Foundation\" and the \"UCLA Women's Golf Program.\" Brian Haas, a spokesman for the university, said UCLA searched multiple times for records of donations, but came up empty-handed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are unaware of these particular donations,\" Haas wrote in an email. \"If you can coax some additional information from the Trump Organization, perhaps that would help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump website also cited a donation to \"Cystic Fibrosis\" — as in the genetic disease, rather than a specific charity supporting research. The Trump Campaign document also has an entry for a $1,182.50 donation to \"Child Abuse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several organizations listed are not charities at all, such as the City of Avalon, California, and the California Department of Veteran Affairs. Both said they could find no record of a donation from Trump or his golf club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the entry for a $152.14 donation to the \"U.S. Department of the Navy.\" (That amount indicates the donation was for a gift certificate for \"Sunday brunch or two\" at the golf club.) In an email, a Navy official told NPR, \"We have no information about whether or how this specific gift was given to the Navy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of organizations in the Rancho Palos Verdes area do report receiving \"generous\" cash contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example comes from John Williams. A former Kiwanis Club president, Williams now runs the Peninsula Symphony, a small orchestra that performs free concerts. He says Trump helped support the Kiwanis Club's Palos Verdes Marathon from 2005 to 2007, with three donations of $15,000 each, and has supported the symphony through in-kind donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would have to say he's been a very good community supporter,\" Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>In-kind Donations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>NPR's other key finding was that overwhelmingly, charitable giving by Trump National involved gift certificates, such as the \"Sunday brunch for two\" or \"twosome for golf\" (worth approximately $600).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em> has \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-portrait-of-trump-the-donor-free-rounds-of-golf-but-no-personal-cash/2016/04/10/373b9b92-fb40-11e5-9140-e61d062438bb_story.html?utm_term=.fe3ad4ea93f4\">documented\u003c/a> that Trump properties around the country also prefer this type of donation.

It may just be marketing his business.'\u003ccite>Daniel Borochoff, CharityWatch\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Judith Opdahl, the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancersupportredondobeach.org/\">Cancer Support Community Redondo Beach\u003c/a>, did not offer specific dollar amounts but says the Trump Organization has been \"very philanthropic\" by providing discounted event space and in-kind donations for charity auctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Borochoff, of the charity watchdog CharityWatch, says many companies use in-kind donations as a way to promote their business and build goodwill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the public or potential customers have good feelings towards the business, they're more likely to play golf there or shop there,\" Borochoff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he is skeptical about the value of such philanthropy, noting that such donations help build the Trump brand and bring in new customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may not be altruism,\" Borochoff said. \"It may just be marketing his business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borochoff says another reason companies offer in-kind donations is that such gifts rarely cost the company much money. They also frequently come with strings attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cui.edu/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=S1iocEalHjA%3D&portalid=0&language=en-US\">charity event held by Concordia University, Irvine\u003c/a> auctioned a \"twosome of Golf\" at the Trump golf club. But the gift certificate was valid only Mondays through Thursdays and expired within six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, experts say, cash donations are also much more valuable to a charity than in-kind donations. To turn a gift certificate into cash, a charity typically must hold an auction, which takes time and effort. And the bid usually comes in at less than the market value of the in-kind donation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacob Harold, the president of GuideStar, which tracks nonprofits, says when companies claim an in-kind donation is worth the full sticker price, it can create a false impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you are saying, 'We gave $5 million away over the last few years,' and that's at market prices,\" says Harold, \"that's actually somewhat misleading.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Controversial Source for the $5 Million Estimate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So how does the total charitable giving of Trump's golf club stack up? NPR was able to verify only about $800,000 in charitable gifts, even treating in-kind donations at full market value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the Trump Organization did not respond, NPR could not ask how the club reached the $5 million figure listed on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible the club was including a sometimes controversial federal tax break: conservation easements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January 2015, Trump made an agreement with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to set aside the golf course's 11.5-acre driving range as environmentally valuable open space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The easement protects the land and prohibits harmful uses on the property such as dumping, landfill, and also has restrictions on waste and impermeable surfacing among many other items,\" said a \u003ca href=\"http://pvplc.org/_news/docs/releases/TrumpConEasementEDNoQuote.pdf\">press release\u003c/a> from the land conservancy. \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybreeze.com/environment-and-nature/20150115/donald-trump-turns-over-115-acre-easement-in-rancho-palos-verdes-for-open-space\">Trump said\u003c/a> the easement represented a significant gift, because the land was worth \"much more than $25 million,\" and he could get a windfall if he built and sold houses on that property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/review-finds-trumps-charity-donations-modest/\">as The Associated Press has reported\u003c/a>, it's unclear whether Trump ever had concrete plans to build houses on the property. City officials also told NPR that Trump faced significant barriers to building because of the area's geological instability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservation easements can help protect the environment and can also offer valuable tax breaks for companies, especially golf courses. They've also come under \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-land-donations-put-him-in-line-for-conservation-tax-breaks-1457656717\">increased scrutiny from the Internal Revenue Service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's California golf course before and after the agreement looks the same. The driving range is still a driving range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The smell test isn't great in that case,\" Harold, of GuideStar, said. Claiming a charitable donation for preserving a driving range as open space \"doesn't feel like a sacrifice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear what, if any, deductions Trump or the Trump Organization claimed from the easement agreement. The land conservancy itself says it does not assign dollar values to the land.

Four are solid concrete; four are made of steel and concrete; one is topped with spikes. They all approach 30 feet in height.

"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge in Maryland has blocked parts of President Trump's most recent attempt to impose broad limits on who can enter the U.S., granting a motion for a preliminary injunction that was filed by plaintiffs led by the International Refugee Assistance Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs \"have established that they are likely to succeed on the merits,\" District Judge Theodore Chuang wrote in the Tuesday order in dealing another setback to the Trump administration's attempt to ban travel to the U.S. by citizens of certain countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his ruling, Chuang wrote that the president's own tweets helped convince him that the latest policy is an \"inextricable re-animation of the twice-enjoined Muslim ban\" that Trump called for on the campaign trail, and is therefore likely to be found unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"wgnoDHWxXqij0Wvjbo06OkodU7bz6qRj\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang said the plaintiffs \"are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of injunctive relief, and that the balance of the equities and the public interest favor an injunction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge's order was filed one day before Trump's ban was set to take effect. It follows a similar order Tuesday from a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/17/federal-judge-in-hawaii-blocks-trumps-third-attempt-at-travel-ban/\">federal judge in Hawaii\u003c/a> in a related case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time the administration's proposed travel restrictions have been put on hold by the courts. Both judges say the latest version suffers from the same problems as the first two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4112212-Md-Memo-Opinion.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Maryland injunction is the more limited of this week's rulings. It would allow some of the administration's new restrictions to take effect, but only for people who lack \"a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States\" — echoing the language \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/26/533934989/supreme-court-will-hear-cases-on-president-trumps-travel-ban\">used by the Supreme Court\u003c/a> when it partially restored part of an earlier travel ban in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two cases had been on the Supreme Court's calendar for the current term, but the court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/25/553490088/supreme-court-removes-cases-over-trumps-travel-ban-from-calendar\">removed them \"pending further order\"\u003c/a> in September, after Trump issued a revised and expanded ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's ban primarily targeted people from Muslim-majority countries — Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. In an apparent attempt to avoid the \"Muslim ban\" label that was applied to previous restrictions, Trump's proclamation also included citizens of North Korea and some officials of Venezuela's government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MgVGROl91QeSrdS0LpRkJKxh4o1QTlgi\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both Maryland and Hawaii, the judges limited their latest rulings to travelers from the six Muslim-majority countries on the list. North Korea and Venezuela are not affected by these rulings; the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memorandum opinion, Chuang noted that then-candidate Trump posted a document called \"Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration\" on his website in December 2015. He also traced other references by Trump, including repeated calls for keeping Muslims out of the U.S. and, once in office, an embrace of the presidential order as a \"travel ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After federal judges blocked the president's earlier executive orders, Trump tweeted that the ban should be larger and tougher. \"This Court is obligated to pay attention to such statements,\" Chuang wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union has been arguing the case on behalf of the IRAP. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said Wednesday, \"Like the two versions before it, President Trump's latest travel ban is still a Muslim ban at its core. And like the two before it, this one is going down to defeat in the courts. Religious discrimination with window dressing is still unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's latest attempt at a travel ban came in late September, when he issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/27/2017-20899/enhancing-vetting-capabilities-and-processes-for-detecting-attempted-entry-into-the-united-states-by\">Presidential Proclamation 9645\u003c/a>, titled Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues the travel restrictions are needed to protect national security. Justice Department lawyers say the government conducted an extensive worldwide review of other countries' security and intelligence-sharing practices, and then crafted new, tailored travel restrictions targeting countries that failed to comply with baseline U.S. standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"7C6ygmTQtee8YOC5RM3ct4wJszng5gtL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent iteration of the ban, five of the countries had been named in previous versions; a sixth country, Chad, was added to the list, while Sudan was removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those changes, the courts found the ban to be tainted by the same problems that tripped up the administration's earlier travel ban orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To the extent that the Government might have provided additional evidence to establish that national security is now the primary purpose for the travel ban, it has not done so,\" Chuang wrote in his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration justified the new travel restrictions in part by referring to a classified report issued by the Department of Homeland Security, dated Sept. 15, 2017. But, Chuang notes, the administration did not share that report with the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang also seems skeptical that the administration has applied its own security findings consistently. For example, Somalia was found to have adequate information-sharing practices, but it's still included in the total ban on immigration. The administration found that Venezuela, meanwhile, has inadequate information-sharing practices — but only government officials are barred from entry to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department is expected to appeal both rulings, meaning this version of the travel ban may also be headed for the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

It follows a similar order Tuesday from a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/17/federal-judge-in-hawaii-blocks-trumps-third-attempt-at-travel-ban/\">federal judge in Hawaii\u003c/a> in a related case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time the administration's proposed travel restrictions have been put on hold by the courts. Both judges say the latest version suffers from the same problems as the first two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4112212-Md-Memo-Opinion.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Maryland injunction is the more limited of this week's rulings. It would allow some of the administration's new restrictions to take effect, but only for people who lack \"a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States\" — echoing the language \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/26/533934989/supreme-court-will-hear-cases-on-president-trumps-travel-ban\">used by the Supreme Court\u003c/a> when it partially restored part of an earlier travel ban in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two cases had been on the Supreme Court's calendar for the current term, but the court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/25/553490088/supreme-court-removes-cases-over-trumps-travel-ban-from-calendar\">removed them \"pending further order\"\u003c/a> in September, after Trump issued a revised and expanded ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's ban primarily targeted people from Muslim-majority countries — Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. In an apparent attempt to avoid the \"Muslim ban\" label that was applied to previous restrictions, Trump's proclamation also included citizens of North Korea and some officials of Venezuela's government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both Maryland and Hawaii, the judges limited their latest rulings to travelers from the six Muslim-majority countries on the list. North Korea and Venezuela are not affected by these rulings; the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memorandum opinion, Chuang noted that then-candidate Trump posted a document called \"Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration\" on his website in December 2015. He also traced other references by Trump, including repeated calls for keeping Muslims out of the U.S. and, once in office, an embrace of the presidential order as a \"travel ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After federal judges blocked the president's earlier executive orders, Trump tweeted that the ban should be larger and tougher. \"This Court is obligated to pay attention to such statements,\" Chuang wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union has been arguing the case on behalf of the IRAP. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said Wednesday, \"Like the two versions before it, President Trump's latest travel ban is still a Muslim ban at its core. And like the two before it, this one is going down to defeat in the courts. Religious discrimination with window dressing is still unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's latest attempt at a travel ban came in late September, when he issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/27/2017-20899/enhancing-vetting-capabilities-and-processes-for-detecting-attempted-entry-into-the-united-states-by\">Presidential Proclamation 9645\u003c/a>, titled Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues the travel restrictions are needed to protect national security. Justice Department lawyers say the government conducted an extensive worldwide review of other countries' security and intelligence-sharing practices, and then crafted new, tailored travel restrictions targeting countries that failed to comply with baseline U.S. standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent iteration of the ban, five of the countries had been named in previous versions; a sixth country, Chad, was added to the list, while Sudan was removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those changes, the courts found the ban to be tainted by the same problems that tripped up the administration's earlier travel ban orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To the extent that the Government might have provided additional evidence to establish that national security is now the primary purpose for the travel ban, it has not done so,\" Chuang wrote in his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration justified the new travel restrictions in part by referring to a classified report issued by the Department of Homeland Security, dated Sept. 15, 2017. But, Chuang notes, the administration did not share that report with the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang also seems skeptical that the administration has applied its own security findings consistently. For example, Somalia was found to have adequate information-sharing practices, but it's still included in the total ban on immigration. The administration found that Venezuela, meanwhile, has inadequate information-sharing practices — but only government officials are barred from entry to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department is expected to appeal both rulings, meaning this version of the travel ban may also be headed for the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 4:15 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in Hawaii has partially blocked President Trump's third attempt to restrict entry into the U.S. for citizens of certain countries. The Department of Justice says it plans to appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newest version of the travel ban was due to go into effect on Wednesday. Like two previous executive orders, it was challenged in multiple courts. The new ruling by Judge Derrick K. Watson is only one piece of the complicated legal puzzle over the long-term fate of the president's efforts to limit travel to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his ruling, Watson wrote that the third version of the ban, like those before it, \"lacks sufficient findings that the entry of more than 150 million nationals from six specified countries would be 'detrimental to the interests of the United States,' \" evidence that he says would be necessary for the ban to be enforceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, he issued a temporary restraining order that will keep the ban from being enforced for six of the eight named countries — the six majority-Muslim nations. North Korea and Venezuela, which were added in the most recent version of the ban, are not affected by the ruling, and the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice said in a statement that the ruling \"is incorrect, fails to properly respect the separation of powers, and has the potential to cause serious negative consequences for our national security.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House, in a separate statement, said the judge's decision is \"dangerously flawed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2dYHoRvZToI0JZXHWRuxgOSSfnXYyGCU\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The entry restrictions in the proclamation apply to countries based on their inability or unwillingness to share critical information necessary to safely vet applications, as well as a threat assessment related to terrorism, instability, and other grave national security concerns,\" the White House says. \"These restrictions are vital to ensuring that foreign nations comply with the minimum security standards required for the integrity of our immigration system and the security of our Nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling in \u003cem>Hawaii v. Trump\u003c/em> is the latest in the legal tug of war over Trump's attempt to impose a ban on travelers from predominantly Muslim nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this temporary restraining order is far from the end of the story. The Department of Justice says it will appeal the decision, and another federal court is also expected to rule on the third version of the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original ban, signed by the president in the first week of his term, targeted seven countries — Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan — for 90 days. Syrian refugees were banned indefinitely. The ban also was imposed on lawful permanent residents, commonly known as green card holders, and travelers who had valid visas issued before the ban was to be implemented. That action met with immediate resistance as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/29/512304697/dispatches-of-discontent-protesters-of-immigration-ban-take-to-the-streetshttp:/www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/29/512304697/dispatches-of-discontent-protesters-of-immigration-ban-take-to-the-streets\">protesters flooded airports\u003c/a> in major cities in support of travelers from those countries.

The Department of Justice says it plans to appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newest version of the travel ban was due to go into effect on Wednesday. Like two previous executive orders, it was challenged in multiple courts. The new ruling by Judge Derrick K. Watson is only one piece of the complicated legal puzzle over the long-term fate of the president's efforts to limit travel to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his ruling, Watson wrote that the third version of the ban, like those before it, \"lacks sufficient findings that the entry of more than 150 million nationals from six specified countries would be 'detrimental to the interests of the United States,' \" evidence that he says would be necessary for the ban to be enforceable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, he issued a temporary restraining order that will keep the ban from being enforced for six of the eight named countries — the six majority-Muslim nations. North Korea and Venezuela, which were added in the most recent version of the ban, are not affected by the ruling, and the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
