Hello and welcome to Hysteria. I'm Erin Ryan.

And I'm Alyssa Master Monaco.

Like peroxide into a reflecting pool in direct sunlight, so are the days of our lives, Alyssa.

And by that, I mean an exercise in futility. So why were they

pouring peroxide into the reflecting pool in front of the Washington Monument? Why were they doing it?

You go, you do it. Okay, because, because you remember that $14 million pool judge that

the president was doing to paint the bottom of it at American Flag Blue.

He just hired the guys who redid his pool at Bedminster, I guess, for this no-bid government

contract.

$14 million.

And it's already covered in algae.

But here, this is the kicker.

So to fix the algae bloom, right.

Federal workers were pouring just gobs of hydrogen peroxide into the pool.

Do you know what happens to hydrogen peroxide in UV sunlight and water?

Tell me.

It breaks down into nothing.

It literally breaks.

It is a chemical reaction.

It is like a thing you learn.

And the UV, the UV itself expedites that reaction. Did you see the aerial of what the pool looks like now? It's like an aura ring because the inside is still green as green can be,

but there's like a faint rim of blue around the green. And my favorite is the new meaning of MAGA. Uh-huh. Make algae green again. Make American, make algae green again for sure. Also, you know, it kind of looks like an American mood ring. I just pulled up a picture. Yeah, that's what I meant. I said aura. I meant a mood ring.
