Gutfeld and Tyrus Bring Hope to Kerrville’s Floods

In the aftermath of the catastrophic Texas floods that struck Kerrville on July 4, 2025, leaving over 100 dead and countless missing, an unexpected duo emerged amid the devastation: Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and his frequent co-star, Tyrus. On July 8, they stood beside a truck brimming with relief supplies—blankets, water, and food—at Kerrville’s Calvary Temple Church, a beacon of hope in a town reeling from loss. Their quiet mission to deliver aid and comfort to a community shattered by floodwaters brought a flicker of light to those in deepest despair, touching thousands with a story of compassion and resilience.

The floods, fueled by a “rain bomb” that dumped 12 inches of rain in hours, turned the Guadalupe River into a 26-foot-high torrent, sweeping away homes, campsites, and lives. Kerrville, a Hill Country town of 24,000, mourned 84 deaths, including 28 children, many from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp. Amid the wreckage—uprooted trees, mangled RVs, and debris-strewn riverbanks—Gutfeld and Tyrus arrived unannounced, their presence a stark contrast to their usual studio banter. Gutfeld, 60, known for his razor-sharp wit on Gutfeld!, and Tyrus, 52, the former wrestler with a larger-than-life persona, traded quips for quiet determination, unloading supplies and listening to survivors’ stories.

Their journey began when Gutfeld, moved by reports of Kerrville’s anguish, rallied his team to act. Partnering with Samaritan’s Purse, a disaster relief organization, they coordinated a truckload of essentials from Fox News’ New York headquarters. Tyrus, whose imposing 6’7” frame belied a gentle demeanor, joined without hesitation, citing his own experiences with hardship. “When you see people lose everything, you don’t just talk—you show up,” he later said on air. Navigating flooded streets, they reached Kerrville Bible Church, a hub for relief efforts, where volunteers sorted supplies and families sought news of missing loved ones.

The duo’s impact was profound. Gutfeld, often polarizing for his commentary, knelt beside a mother who had lost her son, offering words of solace. Tyrus, carrying crates of water, shared hugs with first responders, his humor lifting spirits amid exhaustion. One volunteer recalled Tyrus joking, “I’m just here to make sure Greg doesn’t trip over the debris,” easing tension in a room heavy with grief. They visited Camp Mystic’s ruins, where 27 campers and counselors perished, leaving handwritten notes of condolence that joined a growing memorial. Their actions, devoid of cameras or fanfare, resonated deeply, with locals calling their presence “a spark when we needed it most.”

Kerrville’s pain was raw—families like Mark Harber’s, who lost daughters Blair and Brooke, clung to hope through heartbreak. Gutfeld and Tyrus met Harber, whose daughters’ final note, “We’re together, Daddy,” had stunned the nation. Their shared moment, marked by silent respect, underscored the human connection they brought. Social media buzzed with photos of the pair hauling supplies, captioned “Hope in the flood.” Fans and critics alike praised their selflessness, with one post reading, “They didn’t have to come, but they did.”

As Kerrville faces a long recovery, Gutfeld and Tyrus’ visit left an indelible mark. Their truck of supplies addressed immediate needs, but their empathy—listening to survivors, honoring the lost—offered something deeper. In a town where destruction once overshadowed hope, their unexpected journey reminded thousands that even in the darkest moments, compassion can light the way forward, one heart at a time.
