“I Love You All”: Texas Sisters’ Final Text Sparks Tears on The Gutfeld!, Raising $2 Million Overnight for Flood Relief

On July 8, 2025, Fox News’ Gutfeld! studio—usually alive with humor and spirited debate—fell into stunned silence during a live broadcast. The hosts had just learned of a devastating tragedy: two young sisters from Dallas, Blair Harber, 13, and Brooke Harber, 11, had been swept away in catastrophic Texas flooding. Brooke’s haunting final text, “I love you all,” sent as waters overtook their cabin, deeply moved hosts Kat Timpf, Greg Gutfeld, and Tyrus, sparking an emotional nationwide response and raising nearly $2 million overnight.

 

A Night of Tears in the Studio

The segment began as a routine discussion, meant for lighter news. However, as guest host Kat Timpf read the heartbreaking GoFundMe update aloud, the mood shifted dramatically. Her voice broke as she recounted Brooke’s final message. Greg Gutfeld, known for his quick wit, sat frozen, gripping his microphone, eyes glistening with tears. Tyrus, the former wrestler whose own family had endured flood tragedies, spoke with a trembling voice, urging America to step up and help: “Those girls held onto each other, to their faith. America, we gotta step up.”

A Tragedy That Shook Texas

The tragic story unfolded in Hunt, Texas, along the Guadalupe River. Sisters Blair and Brooke were vacationing in a rented cabin with their grandparents, Mike and Charlene Harber, when Hurricane Elena caused the river to surge an unimaginable 26 feet in just 45 minutes. Brooke’s poignant text message—sent at 3:30 a.m. on July 4 to her parents, RJ and Annie Harber, and maternal grandparents—became her last words.

RJ and Annie, staying in a separate cabin uphill, desperately attempted rescue, but were overwhelmed by the relentless floodwaters. RJ’s courageous attempt to reach his daughters via kayak failed, and he was rescued downstream with five others. Tragically, by the afternoon, Blair and Brooke were discovered 15 miles away in Kerrville, their bodies still holding hands, clutching rosaries—a powerful symbol of their faith that deeply moved the Gutfeld! hosts.

 

An Unprecedented Response

The emotional segment had an immediate and profound impact. Within hours of airing, viewers flooded the GoFundMe page established by the girls’ aunt Jennifer Harber, skyrocketing donations from $197,000 to nearly $2 million overnight—setting a record for Texas flood relief campaigns on the platform.

Contributions poured in from around the nation, fueled by viral clips of the hosts’ raw emotion, particularly Timpf’s tearful reading and Tyrus’s heartfelt appeal. Fox News itself contributed $100,000, announced live by Gutfeld, further igniting the generosity of viewers.

 

A Quiet Act of Generosity Revealed

In a remarkable twist revealed later by the Houston Chronicle, Tyrus had quietly called Jennifer Harber before the broadcast, personally offering to match donations up to $50,000 from his own “Shared Sorrow” fund—created after his personal loss during the 2016 Louisiana floods. His humble gesture went unmentioned on-air, only coming to light when Jennifer publicly thanked him on social media, writing, “Tyrus didn’t just talk—he acted. His heart carried us.”

A Community United by Loss and Love

Blair and Brooke’s story resonated deeply across the country, highlighting their close bond, faith, and vibrant lives. Blair was a beloved student-athlete and school ambassador at St. Rita Catholic School, eagerly awaiting auditions for her school play. Brooke, about to enter sixth grade, was known for her contagious energy and talent in improv comedy. Their rosaries, found clasped tightly in their hands, symbolized their deep-rooted faith, a poignant detail that deeply moved Kat Timpf as she shared their story on air.

St. Rita Catholic School, where the girls’ mother Annie teaches, has since announced a joint funeral for the sisters, fully funded by the record-breaking GoFundMe campaign. As the family mourns, they continue to wait anxiously for news about grandparents Mike and Charlene, still missing as of July 9.

 

Beyond the Floodwaters: A Beacon of Hope

As Texas grapples with a rising death toll of at least 102—including 28 children—and ongoing search efforts for missing persons, the Gutfeld! moment has become a powerful symbol of hope and unity. The nearly $2 million raised overnight, combined with contributions from public figures like Eminem and White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, is helping not only the Harber family but numerous other affected families as well.

Brooke’s simple yet profound final message, “I love you all,” has echoed far beyond her immediate family, becoming a rallying cry for compassion, generosity, and solidarity. In the face of unimaginable tragedy, this moment of collective humanity on Gutfeld! proves that even amid the darkest moments, love can shine brightly, bringing a nation together.
