Fox News continued their 'war theme' against any modern change and attacked the Biden administration for trying to possibly make washing machines more efficient.

"First your stove, now the White House climate agenda is targeting your washing machine," Ainsley Earhardt said.

"Critics says President Biden's new energy plan would make each washing cycle take longer, make detergent more expensive and leave your clothes dirtier because they use less water," Doocy chimed.

Who are the critics of this possible new proposal? The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, or washing machine lobbyists. Any updates to the manufacturer's appliances would cost their shareholders a penny to their stock price.

Co-host Brian Kilmeade introduced Fox Business reporter Jeff Flock, who was doing his laundry on-air. (Gross.)

"Get those dirty clothes clean while you can. Soon they will all be dirty," Earhardt said.

"I thought I had a high-efficiency machine," Flock said.

The F&F crew did a laundry routine designed to scare people into thinking that any change to a washing machine will mean it doesn't work.

Any change to the status quo is viewed as a "war" for Republicans and right-wing media.

It won't be long before @RonnyJacksonTX l tweets out something like, 'you'll have to pry my washing machine from my cold, dead hands.'
