Watters: Make Duane Chapman “Deportation Czar”

Media Matters has the transcript:

JESSE WATTERS (HOST): When you approach these people, whether they’re migrants or outlaws, this is what we’re going to be looking at. Do you have any advice for Donald Trump if he assumes office again? Is he going to make you deportation czar?

DUANE “DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER” CHAPMAN (GUEST): I would like a job like that, and it doesn’t matter who you are, what nationality, what tribe you belong to. If you’re lawbreaker and you’re in this country illegal, and you were booted from from another country because you were a felon and told to go to America, that’s where we’re going to start, it’s the high priority, the top of the echelon. And they are going to back and/or they’re going to jail. When I first started bounty hunting 45 years ago, there were two bounty hunters. Today, there’s 6,500. You have — there’s new laws; you can’t be convicted of a felony in the last 10 years. We use nonlethal weapons that’ll drop a mule. So get ready.

WATTERS: What kind of nonlethal weapons would you use?

CHAPMAN: Well, the newest one they’ve got is the new pepper ball gun, and it’s designed to spin the body and it does not enter unless you — I had to take a 40-hour course, you cannot shoot above the neck or it would kill him. So pop pop and they’re down. That’s it. And what you want to do is put the person down, cuff them, and then go from there.

Read the full transcript. Chapman first appeared here in 2007 when A&E canceled his show after his N-word-laced rant about his son’s black girlfriend was leaked to the press.

In 1976, Chapman was sentenced to five years in prison on third-degree murder charges over a drug deal gone bad. Due to that conviction, he is forbidden to own firearms.

Chapman has 12 children, most by his six wives. In 2022, Chapman spoke at an evangelical conference where he called Biden “a Little Hitler” who “stoled the 2020 election” and who might commit suicide over that year’s midterms.
