Inside Edition for Monday, February 17, 2025

Oscar winner Tom Hanks is the first person to admit he has a terrific life, but being a huge star is not without its challenges. One of them came last night, when the actor, out to dinner with his wife Rita Wilson, lost it when someone in a crowd nearly knocked her over. As Steven Fabian explains, Hanks was understandably furious. And the January 6th Committee regrouped today and focused on Donald Trump's efforts to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Meantime, who is the person caught on camera taking photos around capitol hill the day before the insurrection? Plus, drowning is the number one cause of children’s deaths, and with school out, millions of kids will be flocking to pools. But, because of Covid many children have not had the chance to learn to swim, since community pools were often closed. That’s why this year, swim instructors are working like crazy to make up for lost time! In addition, during Covid we heard a lot about the great resignation, people retiring early. Well as Jim Moret reports, with inflation and fears of a recession, many of those folks are rethinking that!   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

And one of the 31 neo-Nazis arrested outside a Pride parade in Idaho is getting some tough love from his mother.

It was a horrific accident: a mom and her baby mowed down in an alley by a driver. The video is tough to watch, and now the sentence handed down to the young offender is tough for some to understand, especially the mom who was sent flying in the air. He will do only a few months at a youth detention camp, fueling the charge that the local district attorney is soft on crime. And it’s a bucket list destination for many; spectacular Yellowstone Park. Right now, no one can visit because all entrances are blocked due to torrential flooding, and some tourists were actually trapped 'inside' the park when the bridge washed away. Plus, just hours after wowing the audience at the Tony Awards, actor Hugh Jackman is out of commission. He's tested positive for covid for the second time, but Jackman says the show must go on. And she was married to Hunter Biden for more than twenty years, and now she's breaking her silence.

She came out the loser in the defamation suit with her ex-husband Johnny Depp and now Amber Heard is speaking about her day in court. Although she was hit with a $10 million judgment...in her first interview since the trial, Heard says she doesn't blame the jury. And hearings of the January 6th Committee resumed today with the focus on election night 2020 - ground zero for the “big lie” that somehow the election had been stolen from Donald Trump. The hearing opened with videotaped depositions of Trump's advisers claiming he had declared a premature victory at the urging of Rudy Giuliani - they also claim the former mayor of New York was intoxicated, which he denies. Plus, while the hearings have brought the threat of militia groups into the spotlight - over the weekend cops say another riot was thwarted. And Justin Bieber just revealed he has something called Ramsay Hunt syndrome, and he says he is hopeful his facial paralysis will improve. We spoke with an expert about his prognosis.

There were plenty of headlines from day one of the House hearings investigating the January 6th assault on the Capitol, all supporting the idea that President Trump bore responsibility for the worst attack on the Capitol since the British invasion in the war of 1812. Among all the revelations, when Donald Trump’s daughter and advisor Ivanka said under oath that she accepted the conclusion that the 2020 election was not rigged....now the former president is lashing out in response. And 42 years is a long time to know nothing about your past…but this woman named Holly has just learned about hers…and it is gruesome. Ann Mercogliano with details on the parents she never knew because of the terrible fate they encountered when she was just a baby. Plus, the just released 911 tapes from the arrest of the man charged with attempted murder of Justice Brett Kavanaugh raise more questions than they answer. Apparently when he saw Marshalls outside the Kavanaugh house, the suspect got cold feet. But rather than just walk away, he called the cops on himself. And going anywhere this summer? Get ready for long lines and lots of delays. As Steven Fabian reports, this year when you pack…be sure to bring along some extra patience.

The House Committee investigating the January 6th assault on the US Capitol holds its first hearings tonight. And they'll be broadcast live on the big 3 broadcast networks, giving Americans a chance to watch as lawmakers try to determine who was behind the attack on the Capitol and efforts to overturn the election. Les Trent has our look ahead. And on the eve of the House Committee hearings, President Biden did something he doesn’t often do. He sat down for a one-on-one interview, this time, with Jimmy Kimmel. Plus, it was a terrifying situation; two people out on the water when their boat starts to sink. They call the cops, but they weren't exactly sure where they were located. That's when Steven Fabian says FaceTime came to the rescue. And the iconic Spanish Steps in Rome were built 300 years ago, and now a thoughtless American tourist has damaged them by throwing her scooter down the staircase.

The nation is understandably focused on guns and school shootings...and this 10-year-old boy was paraded in front of the media after cops say he sent threatening messages to another student....is caught right in the middle. He's still in custody and although his dad doesn’t deny the little boy talked of guns - he says it was the stupid humor of a child. Now, he's speaking exclusively with Inside Edition. And a 26-year-old California man is in custody today after being arrested just outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh early this morning. Police say he was planning to kill the justice and then turn his gun on himself. Jim Moret has more on the situation. Plus, another attack on the commuter rails...this time in Chicago where a man was pushed onto the tracks and hit the dangerous electrified third rail. But an incredibly brave bystander rushed to save him and he's alive thanks to that heroic act. And the jury ruled his way…and that may be all Johnny Depp wanted after all. Les Trent on the widespread speculation that the actor may be considering forgiving Amber Heard of that $10 million judgement she owes him.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
