HARRIS FAULKNER (FOX HOST): Well, exactly a week ago this hour, we got a brand new president, number 47, for his second term and there are already calls to put his face on Mount Rushmore. A growing number of conservatives are pushing to add Trump to the legendary monument. They claim he's already done enough to be immortalized alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. And Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna says she's already filing the legislation to make it happen. Make Mount Rushmore great again? Jason?
JASON CHAFFETZ (FOX CONTRIBUTOR): Hey, if there's room up there, I think it'd be great. I think what Donald Trump has done and is in the process of doing is transforming the United States of America and putting America first. And I think America loves it and I think there's a great case for it.
FAULKNER: Kayleigh?
KAYLEIGH MCENANY (FOX HOST): Yeah. I'm fascinated by this because that would be some sweet irony after President Joe Biden stopped the fireworks display from Mount Rushmore. So if you did the, like, 250th anniversary of the country at Mount Rushmore with President Trump's face, it would be epic. There's also a petition now in Congress to change Dulles Airport's name to Donald Trump International Airport. So you have Trump and you have Reagan in D.C. And wouldn't that be something special for the swamp?
