"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> brian: #:00 a.m. on the east

coast. ainsley is finally ready so i will start the show. >> ainsley: it's friday. i'm running a little behind today. >> brian: we are live. we did not tape this ahead of time. ugly start. dangerous storms moving through the east, through louisiana after battering texas, killing at least four people in houston and leaving 1 million without power. >> lawrence: unbelievable. the house oversight committee moving to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt. that's not the craziest thing to come out of that hearing. watch. >> are your feelings hurt. >> oh, girl, baby girl. >> oh, really? >> don't even play. >> baby girl? i don't think so. >> got a little heated between women. >> brian: i don't think so. >> carley: we are going to show you all of that. plus, there's the church. there's the steeple, open the doors and there's the pickleball court with steve. is he live this morning checking out the sport that's fueling a faith movement down in your home state of texas, lawrence.

>> lawrence: that's right, hometown, too. >> ainsley: that's right, dallas. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now and remember your mornings are better with friends. >> brian: let's talk about weather, straight to a fox weather alert. dangerous storms moving through louisiana, battering texas, killing four in houston over 1 million in louisiana and texas are waking up with no power this morning. there is widespread damage and outages across houston, harris county as intense rain flooded into stores, blew out windows and downtown high rises. >> ainsley: heavy rain leaking through the retractible roof at minute maid park where the houston astros were playing. >> brian: wow. >> we are inside minute maid park and the winds are so strong they are blowing straight in. >> lawrence: nearly 10 million people are under tornado watches across the gulf region and the risk for severe flash flooding is being described as a nightmare scenario. let's check in with senior

meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast. janice, you said there's no watches. >> janice: no watches right now. last night we had many watches. as you mentioned millions of folks were under tornado watches, including our fourth biggest city houston, texas. we had damage, a lot of damage. people are going to be waking up around the houston area, you know, in some cases with a lot of their homes completely gone. we had winds in excess of 57 miles per hour. so a lot of people were saying this is like a hurricane. hurricane force winds and then you had the flooding and then the power outages continue for close to a million folks in and around the houston metro area. the damage is extensive. this time yesterday we were talking about the severe weather. including flooding, including those severe storms and it came true last night and yesterday afternoon. so here's the power outage tracker for louisiana. so the storms continue to move eastward across the mississippi river valley. we do have the potential for stronger storms for parts of mississippi, alabama into

florida. a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings around the corpus christi area north of new orleans and south of the tallahassee, florida area where we have lots of lightning with these storms, heavy rainfall, and the flood alerts continue. even though the storm is out of texas, the rivers and the streams are still rising and they still have to crest. so flood warnings here across the gulf coast states in towards florida. and there's the flash flood risk. not as bad as it was yesterday but certainly something to watch for as we go through today and saturday. river flooding. okay. so even though the storm has moved eastward, we are still going to see the potential for the flooding and just within the last hour, i have seen more major river flooding in the texas area. a lot of these rivers and streams funnel into the bigger cities and, again, that's going to be a big problem. in some cases we were talking about flood alerts that they haven't seen since hurricane harvey in 2017 for texas. i have said this a lot of times. it doesn't take a hurricane. it doesn't take a named storm.

it doesn't take a tropical storm system to cause extensive damage for some of these vulnerable areas. especially the houston area. along the east coast, along the gulf coast, rather, see the potential for stronger storms, the northern plains as well. it's going to be a messy weekend for a lot of cities across the eastern u.s. so we will continue to keep you up to date. the damage we are going to see this morning in and around the houston area is going to be extensive. >> lawrence: we are praying for my home state, j.d., thank you for keeping us posted. >> ainsley: thank you, janice. turning now to more headlines this morning to jordanian nationals are in ice custody after they allegedly tried to break into a marine base in quantico, virginia on may 3rd. a base spokesperson says the pair were stopped at the gate while they were riding in a box truck. the deputy director at us customs enforcement told us they are in removal proceedings but would not confirm whether they crossed the border. meanwhile, border crossings are surging under joe biden. the cbp reports 1.6 million

delivered a moving speech last night while he was on stage. we love him. he was on our show. >> lawrence: got to be bold to take that risk to sing the song after he just passed away. he killed it. to change it up a little bit as you said, brian, was a nice touch. >> brian: right. meanwhile, 8 minutes now after the hour. yeah. great night there. two house committees voting to advance resolutions to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt of congress. that's the easy part. what happened next, a little off the hook. >> lawrence: but not before descending into absolute chaos during the late night hearing. >> ainsley: madeleine rivera is live in washington with all the details for us. >> good morning, guys. the house judiciary and oversight committees voted thursday to move forward with contempt proceedings against attorney general merrick garland. this is for his refusal to hand over audio recording of president biden's interview with former special counsel robert hur. but things got down right nasty at that house oversight hearing with lawmakers screaming and insulting each other. here is where the hearing

started to spiral. >> i would like to know if any of the democrats on this committee are employing judge merchan's daughter. >> what does that have to do with merrick garland? >> do you know what we are here for. >> i think your fake eye lashes are. >> that's beneath. >> that's absolutely unacceptable. how dare you attack the physical appearance of another person. >> are your feelings hurt. >> oh, girl, baby girl. >> oh, really? >> don't even play. >> baby girl? i don't think so. >> we are going to -- house oversight chair james comer had to suspend the hearing as he tried to figure out how to move forward. eventually agreed to strike her words but said he she would never apologize. the committee get d. get back to its original business almost an hour later. there is no clear timing though as to when the full house could vote on the resolution. lawrence, ainsley, and brian? >> brian: all right, maddie, thanks so much. >> lawrence: nothing happening there, right? >> brian: they are trying to find out. going to try to take a vote on whether they should -- whether

they should censure or they should hold merrick garland in contempt. >> ainsley: is he in the repealsing the audiotape. >> brian: for the robert hur investigation. meanwhile it's kind of null in a way because the president took executive authority i'm not releasing them by the power vested in me. they are doing. this marjorie taylor greene said by the way i got a question for you. are you using judge merchan's daughter as a consultant, many of you guys. by the way dan goldman is. dan goldman also was helping michael cohen get ready for testimony. which is insanity to me. they don't care about optics. at which time congresswoman crocket came back and said what does that have to do with anything we are talking about. marjorie taylor greene brings up the eye lashes, aoc jumps in. >> ainsley: striked from the record. crocket goes after marjorie taylor greene for the color of her hair and her body type. >> brian: should we hear the whole thing? do we have the whole thing. >> ainsley: do you really want to hear this again? >> brian: yeah. >> ainsley: like these women fighting in congress?

>> brian: i guess we got it later. i would like to see. >> lawrence: they want to go back and forth on personal insults. >> ainsley: i don't think they like each other. >> lawrence: right. these are the same people that try to act like they are dignified and all of that. they never show the real them. >> ainsley: i love that keith ocomer islike, what what are yog about? what is going on. ladies, stop fighting about your eye lashes and the color of your hair. >> brian: i just love the comeback at the end, because i just like to know if it's okay to start talking about somebody's bleached blonde hair and butch body. okay there, you go. >> ainsley: that should probably stay out of the halls of congress. >> brian: lauren boebert voted with the democrats to condemn marjorie taylor greene. >> ainsley: oh my gosh. >> lawrence: should be worried about the business of the american people. >> brian: i would think so. >> ainsley: speaking of the dow did really well yesterday. joe biden said that's not an indicator of what our economy

looks like. wherever the news is, he will take advantage of it. so that happened yesterday. he posted on x. this was what he posted. this is great news for america's retirement accounts and another sign of confidence in america's economy. i'm building an economy from the middle out and bottom up. and our investments are making a difference. >> lawrence: i just love how they are acting as if this is improving the life of the american people. a chief economist paul donovan put it this way. people don't tend to think in terms of inflation, economists do. he later on said but economists are not normal people. normal people think in terms of price levels. when you look at this administration, they are judging all these outside factors and not what is really impacting the american people on the day to day. so, of course they are saying this is a victory but the administration, look at the stock market, but when people are going into the grocery stores, they are not seeing it. but, again, this is a change from the biden administration because he once said something different. watch.

>> i don't look at the stock market as a means by which to judge the economy like my predecessor did. some people started seeing the stock market and corporate profits and executive pay as the only measure for domenic growth. my measure 6 economic success is how families like mine growing up working families, busting their neck how they are doing. >> stock market doesn't necessarily reflect the state of the economy, as you well know. and the economy is still strong. >> brian: right. you can't have it both ways but i guess he does want to. it's over 40,000. it's significant. inflation went be from 3.5 to 3.4. maybe a rate cut could be coming. i guess that factored into everything. if you have a 401(k) you are happy. one thing about it president trump had no problem hailing the stock market. and joe biden had no problem for criticizing president trump for hailing the stock market and now he says i love the stock market. >> lawrence: the point is you have got to have both.

when donald trump had the stock market and the record gains in the stock market. people were making more money. you have unemployment rate down. you have people had high income wages. so you got have all of the -- you just can't choose one metric, inflation was down. you can't just choose one metric, which is the stock market, and celebrate that. when part of it is down, when it comes to the unemployment, as well as it comes to inflation up. the average americans are being hit. >> well, don't forget, when he came into office, the inflation rate was 1.4. it went up really high to 9.1. now we are at 3.4. yes, that's better than 9. but it's still 2 points higher than it was when he came into office. people are still struggling to pay their bills. we hear it all the time when we go to the diners. look at that, groceries are up. also the interest rates are sky high. if you can't afford something and you put something on your credit card, you are paying a lot of money, extra, that you don't have to pay for those eggs, to pay for the bacon, to

pay for the things to feed your family. that's what america is struggling with right now. it seems to be that that's the number one issue when we go out and talk to the voters that it's just their bank accounts are dwindling and they are not getting pay raises to keep up with that. >> brian: especially if you like ice pops and eggs. you just showed a lot of eggs and ice pops and now we have got meat. when you look overall at what this president has got to do. there is a degree of panic this week. i'm going to have an emergency debate. ready to go. two debates. then he realizes down with minorities, not a blip or a poll it's reality. reaching out at the african-american museum with a speech. giving the commencement address more house college historically black college in atlanta. look at other people who used to and actually did a zoom interview during the pandemic in 2020 with joe biden. and i'm talking about -- >> ainsley: and don't forget jim clyburn. now is he sending him out to four different states to talk to

the black voters. >> brian: which by the way jim clyburn is great communicator and older than joe biden. it's nothing about age. what does cardi b now say. >> ainsley: rolling stone, right? sat down with rolling stone and got in-depth about what kind of coffee she drinks, outfits. different people. >> brian: nothing about her eye lashes though. >> ainsley: nothing about her eye lashes. she said something interesting. she is not going to vote for joe biden because she said people are hurting. americans can't afford their bills. she said i feel like people got betrayed. it's just like y'all don't care about nobody. >> brian: right. in fact, here's the quote. >> ainsley: before she has seen trump as a dire threat but under biden she has felt layers and layers of disappointment. from what she sees as domestic and foreign mismanagement. the cost of living is too high. wages are too low. and too little is being done about it. she says i feel like people got betrayed. it's just like -- this is her words, damn, y'all not caring about nobody. she says then it really gets me

upset that there is solutions to it. there is a solution. i know there is a solution. because, you are spending billions of dollars on any f'ing thing. >> brian: right. and she has a constituency. she says most of her family is working class. she made it. she had a tough upbringing. she has made it. but most of the people she hangs out with and goes back to on thanksgiving aren't and are hurting. >> lawrence: not only did she make it. this is someone that is trying to go back to the community to advance it. the reality that democrats have to deal with okay. there are some people within the community that don't like the trump personality. okay. you got that but then you have some people that were in that same community that benefited from the trump economy and the position on the border as well as foreign policy. what are they going to do? either they are going to switch over and vote for trump which we start to see some of the polling numbers. you know donald trump made gains whether it comes to the black vote or stay at home. as "the washington post" says in

their editorial a couple days ago, this only helps donald trump if black voters, minority voters decide to stay at home. whether they vote for trump or stay at home. it's a win for trump. and i think that's why the democrats are concerned right now. >> ainsley: good point. let's bring in steve doocy. he is having breakfast with our friends. is he live in dallas. hey, steve. >> steve: hello, ainsley. and brian and lawrence as well. you know, we are talking about the economy and we are going to in a minute. but the number one big event going on here at first baptist and this was essentially the first mega church in america is, pickleball. what they're doing is brilliant. come on over here. this church, back in the 50's. [cheers] >> steve: started to have a minister of recreation. you him now, right? >> i am him. the idea is to reach our community. we want to be a community church. all our sports leagues are open

to the community. and that's what we want to do. we want to invite people to come check out our church and play sports. >> steve: a lot of people come. instagram ads are not baptist or christian. they are coming in. >> i would say pickleball is a major sport and people are coming in and most people are not members of our church. that's right. >> steve: i have been playing for the last 10 minutes. i'm absolutely winded. that woman right there is 84 and a half years old. you are a killer. yeah, you. you heard me right there. all right. we're going to go inside. so, they actually set this up for us across from the mega church. that's it right there over here we have the st. paul's cafe. normally they are not opened this hour but they have opened up for us because we want to talk a little bit about the economy. [cheers] >> steve: i can here a roar in the distance. we are in the heart of dallas. you know the tall building, that's where we are, ladies and

gentlemen, take a look. [cheers] >> steve: they love those last pickleball shots i did. [cheers and applause] >> steve: welcome to st. paul's cafe. come on over here. all right. thank you very much. do you see those good shots i was making? >> yeah. [applause] >> way to go. >> steve: we were talking about the economy on "fox & friends." watch. i'm on tv over on the wall. what's your name? >> my name is justin. >> steve: justin, you look like a guy who probably just bought a house. >> i did just buy a house. >> steve: i'm working with the psychic friends network. i know things. i'm being facetious. but you had a problem with your mortgage that a lot of people have. >> well, it was pretty expensive. >> steve: well, because, you had a cheap mortgage, then you changed it for a 7% mortgage. >> yeah. we left a 2.75 interest rate and had to purchase a house here in texas, and we bought into a 6.75

interest rate. >> steve: when you think about the sweep of what is happening with the economy, do you blame anything on this? >> well, i mean, i think it's a culmination of things, absolutely. so, there's a lot you could look at. but i just know the higher interest rates are a lot for a lot of people to take on these days. >> steve: indeed. in fact, over here, i understand, this is a young woman who also just bought a house, right? >> yes, sir. >> all right. tell us your interest rate nightmare. >> so my husband is a high school football coach, and i'm a nurse. and it took a lot longer to buy a house than we expected. >> steve: yeah. >> due to the price of the economy. and high interest rates. >> steve: the thing with the high interest rates is if the rates were low, like 2% or 3% like they were a couple years ago, you could get a lot more house. >> yes. it was a struggle just to get a 3 bedroom, 2 baath house. >> steve: i hope it's a beautiful house it? >> is a beautiful house. >> steve: we are going to be over at #:00 eastern time. kidding.

right over here, i believe you used to be a nurse -- rather a teacher, right? >> oh, i am teacher. >> steve: you are a teacher, all right. we were talking about how challenging it is for teachers because you don't get paid a lot of money. >> i mean, that's government work. >> steve: it is, indeed. so, exactly how is the impact right now of the economy being felt at your house? >> so, i am making ends meet. that's for the future. i'm moving in with a roommate this summer just to help split the rent, split expenses. before i became a teacher three years ago. i used to be able to live by myself on my old salary. >> steve: it's tough. you know what? brian, ainsley and lawrence, i have been here in texas for about the last 18 hours, and i have heard this story from a lot of people. they are struggling with the economy as people are all across the country. but, do you know what? they love pickleball. you guys love pickleball, right? [cheers and applause] so, and, brian, i know you are a

very good pickleball player and ainsley is, too. lawrence jones who is from dallas, we got to get him involved, right? [cheers] >> steve: lawrence, come on, come home. they are going to take care of you. >> lawrence: i promise i'm going to start. >> brian: i'm going to get you playing soccer and play pickleball with steve. >> ainsley: interested when you could meet a girlfriend on the court. >> lawrence: now i can share the gospel. >> ainsley: a christian girl on the court. he. >> lawrence: ainsley, you are going to do the intro? >> ainsley: yes. i will be happy to. >> brian: good to know there is now pickleball cheerleaders. i had no idea. >> ainsley: probably from a local high school. >> brian: court is out of session today. going to he can bra down the final stretch of the trump trial after heated cross-examination. real impact on michael cohen. what do we expect on monday? that story, next. ♪ and engulfed with ha

te. we see it on our college campuses. we see it across the world. where did this come from? you see, hate is coming from the human heart. god made us and he created us, but sin has come into the world, and it's come into each and every heart. and the only one who can fix the heart is god. and god did that by sending his son, jesus christ from heaven to this earth to take our sins. he died in our place on a cross, shed his blood, and was buried, but on the third day he walked right out of that grave. that's right, jesus christ is alive, and my questions is have you ever invited him into your heart?" if you haven't done it, do it right now. just say, god, i'm a sinner. i'm sorry. forgive me. i believe jesus is your son. i want to trust him as my savior, and i pray this in jesus' name. if you prayed that prayer call that number right now that's on the screen.

great to see you did the defense do well over the last two days taking down the credibility of michael cohen? >> absolutely for being such a prolific liar is he not a good liar. we heard he had to concede because they have evidence of that certainly i think at this point the jury is probably discounting anything that he has to say and most critically he never tied donald trump to cheese offenses the whole point of calling him in the first place. >> the call to tie donald trump. i remember this text message to call keith shirley his body man to have the conversation about stormy daniels. it turns out the ah ha moment so far it was not a diversification about stormy daniels, it was a conversation about the harassment of a 14-year-old that was harassing him and keith shirley wanted to get the fbi on it and keith shirley said yeah, we are going to go do that so it had nothing to do with that and michael cohen basically said i talked about the 14-year-old and

i talked about stormy daniels. i don't think anyone was buying it. >> when you have a witness on the stand that has that much credibility issues, anything they say has to be corroborated by outside evidence. and here you have michael cohen walking into yet another trap where he is making statements uncorroborated by his own phone records so, again, he cannot be believed. >> brian: back to the intro, bob costello former adviser/attorney. going into this trial michael cohen had nothing on donald trump. now bob costello, i'm going to ask you after we hear from him should he actually be brought on by defense. here's what he said last night to laura ingraham. watch. >> the bottom line is he didn't have truthful information. he said, guys, i wanted you to know i will do whatever the f i have to do, i will never spend one day in jail he spent more than one day in jail. he blames donald trump for that i wondered why he would go out

of his way because he explained the $130,000 transaction was all his idea. he said donald trump had nothing to do with it. >> brian: so, bob costello, he was asked about that, and he says i don't recall having that conversation with him. if you are defense, would you bring that witness to the stand? >> it's very powerful testimony for sure. i think the defense has enough to argue reasonable doubt here. they could go down that path and i think they are certainly considering it. >> what would you be looking at if you are defense counsel? my whole line would be the jury. what is their body language likes a they hear michael cohen caught in a lie? do they feel they have to knock him out with someone like bob costello a former prosecutor in the southern district of new york. >> the only consideration for the defense is whether it's going to open any other doors up with any credibility attacks on mr. costello himself and convolute the issue versus just arguing reasonable doubt in closing and arguing that the prosecution failed to meet their burden because they have more

than enough at this point to do it. >> brian: fast-forward monday is going to be a redirect from the prosecution. the prosecutor goes i don't have any more witnesses. if you don't call bob costello, how long would you go for a defense. >> they might rest out the gate. i think they are going to call one witness, maybe an expert regarding the accounting issues and fec aspect of the claim that this was an election interference which is not a bad idea. in fact the prosecution should have put up an expert in that respect as well. they failed to do that as well. another failure of proof in the case. >> brian: getting in the back stretch some thought before memorial day. probably not going to get through memorial day but probably right after. katie, thank you very much, carley shimkus always fascinating. >> carley: i do have more headlines starting with update on absolutely tragic story here. police have identified the man accused of driving the proof that killed the 15-year-old ballerina off the coast of florida as 78-year-old carlos. he was woght in biscayne bay when he struck the girl and kept

driving. his lawyer said he had no idea he was involved in a hit and run. investigators say ella adler was boating when she fell into the water and died from her injuries. so far no charges have been filed. happening today, a district court will take up a motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment of alec baldwin in the deadly shooting of rust cinematographer halyna hutchins. the actor was charged with involuntary manslaughter earlier this year. baldwin has pleaded not guilty and trial set for july. hannah gutierrez reed was recently found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison. wild dash cam video shows the moment a terrified driver of a tractor-trailer swenkd off a bridge in louisville after getting hit by a pickup truck. warning here this footage is shocking.

meg church in america what is the nickname for that place. >> the baptist bee lashio. >> steve: because of the fountains and everything else. it's fantastic. we are here because as we were talking earlier to brent you talk about how you advertise on instagram about the fact that you have got a pickleball program. >> that's right. >> steve: open to everybody. >> our mission is to transform the world with the truth of god's word. we use different hooks in the water to get people interested in church. church shouldn't be one hour a week on sundays. we believe it ought to be a family activity. something you do every day of the week. we found pickleball is a way not only to win new people but also to help build community among members. >> steve: hooks in the water. a polite way of saying pickleball is how you get the butts in the pughs. >> you can say that. >> can i say it i also have a hell bender for a pickleball. >> i'm some of that hell rubs off on my paddle a little later

>> lawrence: so there is a child care crisis. a new report is revealing how out-of-control prices for child

cares have become. the average cost for one child is over $11,500. a 23% jump from 2017. the cost for two kids in child care exceed average rent payments by at least 25% nationwide and is more than double that in eight states in d.c. our next guest has spent at least 10,000 per year for part time child care for children. patrice is the director of the center for economic opportunity at the independent women's forum and joins us now. how are you doing my friend? >> good to see you again. >> lawrence: so, patrice, when i see a problem, i always want to know who the villain is. who is responsible for making the costs so high? >> well, part of it is the government. not surprisingly. the regulation that are imposed on child karen centers, child care providers actually makes it more expensive. a study from a few years ago

found if you were to cut back on some of those regulations that don't impact the quality of care and the safety for kids but all the other excess regulations, you could be saving 900 to even close to $2,000 per child per year. so, deregulatory agenda frankly is the right way to go. >> lawrence: you know, you would think that the regulations were protecting the children. it seems like, you know, i used to be on the dallas county child protective services board. and they were always at the child care facilities for some type of abuse or anything. so, is the regulation even working to protect the kids after all of these certifications? >> not necessarily. and i think you are making an interesting point about, you know, what the level of certifications are needed, you know, what every provider needs to look like. every child care center needs to look like.

and, you know, i think there is room for there to be reforms and reconsiderations. you see my son there to goes to a child care city. i have had two kids in child care centers for the past almost five years now. i see the difficulty for them. the labor costs is also a big driver there, lawrence. because, you know, when states impose new mandates around minimum wages, that means wages -- have to be increased for all the different child care providers. and let's also put to bed this idea well let's subsidize the federal government should is you is i dyes care. no, that is actually going to lead to less options. fewer child care providers can deal -- be able to compete. i think you are going to see the home based providers go out of business. subsidized market. i think a lot of people who would rather have their aunts and uncles and their family members take care of their kids, they may be incentivized to go to the child care centers where the federal government spends the dollars. so, what i think we need is

really to see more competition in the space. deregulation. hey, cut taxes so that families like myself we can keep more of our money and be able to put that towards child care to take care of our kids. >> lawrence: yeah. it's such an interesting point. wwe got actually a map of all of the states being impacted by. this you can see which are the highest and which are the lowest. your point is well-taken, patrice. maybe we just take the taxes down for average day americans and they could pay for this more. what a novel idea, patrice. thanks so much for joining the program this morning. >> thanks so much for having me. >> lawrence: you got it. all right, ainsley, over to you. >> ainsley: they risk their lives for freedom and now one of our own fox family members is teaming up with tunnel 2 towers to help the families of those fallen heroes. fox news contributor kat timpf is the wife of a military veteran and she joins us now with more on this project. hey, cat. >> hi.

>> ainsley: awesome. i love you call yourself half veteran. >> this is the shirts, can you show it says half veteran that i'm selling and all the money, all the money goes to tunnel 2 towers. so, i started joking on the gutfeld show that i'm half a veteran because when you get married severing split in half therefore i'm half a veteran. obviously it's a joke. what is really no joke is some of what military spouses have to go through. i just love what the organization does, tunnel 2 towers. and we have a bit of a personal connection to it because my husband his classmate from west point was unfortunately one of the people killed in a helicopter crash leaving behind his wife and three young kids. and tunnel 2 towers just pays off her whole mortgage. i think what they do is so amazing, so incredible. i wanted to make she's shirts kind of fun and funny. if you wear them people with l. walk up to you and say what is that all about and giving all the money to tunnel 2 towers. i want to raise as much money for them ascii. go to my website the real kat timpf dot goal and merch
