Inside Edition for Monday, August 18, 2025

Hurricane Milton may have not been the storm of the century, but it still packed quite a wallop; and no one knows that better than the reporters who were on the front-line keeping America informed while being blown away. And there's one man all of America was rooting for during the hurricane...he's known as Lt. Dan. Yes, after the character in Forrest Gump. He lives on a boat in Tampa, and video of him peeking out from his vessel went viral. Since he wasn't evacuating, many assumed he was a goner...but we're happy to report Lt. Dan survived the storm. Plus, as expected, Donald Trump wasn't impressed with Kamala Harris' interview on The View...but it wasn't just his political opponent he bashed at his rallies...it was also all The View co-hosts. And today, they hit back on live TV. And embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared before a judge today as he desperately tried to get released on bail before his trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He had lots of family support as his mother as well as six of his children showed up entering court hand in hand. Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
