Hey there, folks.

It is Thursday, March 12,

and check on your friends in California.

They are a little stressed out right now after news of an alert that Iran possibly wants to retaliate by attacking the U.S. West Coast.

And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J.

Look, we'll get into just how credible this is,

but it sounds credible as hell if you're living in California right now. Yeah, I mean, and when

you get an alert from the FBI saying that Iran wants to retaliate against California specifically

and that they have received word and they've known about this

apparently before the war even began. So the question is when you get an alert like this,

what are you supposed to think? What are you supposed to feel? What are you supposed to do,

if anything? What you're supposed to do is you get on your phone and you start, yes, you dooms search, right?

You start doing swirling, but you also big up your phone and start reaching out to everybody

you know maybe in the news industry because our phone started buzzing yesterday.

We haven't heard from as many friends and colleagues from California in a while wondering

what the hell is going on.

That's true because it is a scary thing. You know, you're going about your day. And truthfully,

like we here in New York, when we have any sort of international threat, we can see it and feel

it in the city. We can see increased police presence. Here in the last several days, we've seen patrol boats up and down the Hudson, closer to the shore, a much increased police presence just on the streets, on the corners, in the subways.

So we feel it.
