New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani used public funds to produce a 13-minute propaganda film that singles out a Jewish landlord by name and declares that homes belong to occupants rather than owners, a premise his own housing director has been pushing for years.

Cole Hauser says the cast and crew of Paramount+'s Dutton Ranch were physically broken down after nine months of filming Season 1 in Texas, where temperatures hit 118 degrees and snake wranglers pulled 275 serpents off the set.

Hauser did not sugarcoat it. The combination of extreme temperatures, venomous wildlife, and feral hogs roaming the filming area turned what…Open
