Inside Edition for Monday, August 18, 2025

Was something sprayed on stage at the trump rally in Tucson? Several people who were seated on stage right behind the former president reported excruciating eye pain after the event - some so bad, they ended up at the emergency room. Ann Mercogliano has more on the mystery. And it’s a raucous city council meeting, but the residents aren’t up in arms over some local ordinance. They're furious that a dog named Gunner was put down at a shelter, without the owner's permission. Plus, it was a 12 day manhunt for a gunman who was taking pot shots at drivers on a Kentucky interstate. Now the search is over thanks to a married couple on a date night who decided to join in the search. They say it was vultures that suggested that the man they were looking for was dead. And a pregnant mother and her husband drowned while snorkeling in Maui. Officials say the water was calm with no riptides, so how could this happen?  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a flight these passengers will never forget. A Delta jet had just taken off from Salt Lake City when something went wrong. Several passengers started screaming in pain, bleeding from their ears or nose. Jim Moret says the aircraft immediately turned around and made an emergency landing, back where it had just taken off. Delta said in a statement: “We sincerely apologize to our customers…the flight crew followed procedures to return to SLC where our teams on the ground supported our customers with their immediate needs.” And a second wave of explosions today in Lebanon - this time, walkie talkies were detonated. A funeral for victims of yesterday's pager bombings was disrupted when a walkie talkie blew up. Hearing about the attacks, may remind you that pagers were the way we communicated before cell phones. Turns out, people still use them, mostly doctors. Could those devices be used as weapons here? Plus, Sean “Diddy” Combs has been denied bail in connection with sexual abuse and sex trafficking charges he faces. As Les Trent reports, the music mogul who once travelled by private jet to his mansions, is now in a jail notorious for its bad living conditions. Combs has pleaded not guilty.

The federal indictment that led to the overnight arrest of rap mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs has been unsealed, and it contains a litany of vile and disgusting allegations. For months, Diddy has been under investigation after multiple lawsuits were filed, including one from his ex-girlfriend, accusing him of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.  While he settled the lawsuit brought by the ex-girlfriend, he has denied the allegations in all the lawsuits. Today the rapper pled not guilty to the charges in the federal indictment and is being held behind bars. As Les Trent reports, prosecutors want him to stay there until trial. And it's former President Trump's favorite pastime - playing golf. However, as the most recent assassination attempt proves, it’s also a nightmare for the Secret Service. So can Trump play golf and be kept safe? Steven Fabian reports from Palm Beach. Plus, a little boy was hailed a hero after running to get help after his mother had a medical emergency and drove into a pond. In this exclusive report, we're going back to the scene with the boy and his very proud mother. And a harrowing story of survival as a man ends up lost in the wilderness for nearly six days surviving on just berries. Where he was found pretty much sums things up - the Hell Hole Reservoir.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Police today released body cam of the moment they arrested the man they say planned to assassinate former President Trump while he was golfing. Today the question is being asked - how did the suspected gunman get that close to the former president just two months after another failed assassination plot?  Steven Fabian is in Palm Beach with the latest. And the suspect is by no means a stranger to law enforcement. He has a long rap sheet with scores of arrests. He was also passionate about the war in Ukraine - traveling there to help recruit others into the conflict. Authorities are now piecing together his movements to figure out what led to Sunday's arrest. Plus, Donald Trump is leaving no doubt about how he feels about Taylor Swift. This weekend he bluntly posted four words quote “I hate Taylor Swift.” However, the response from Swifties may be more than he expected. And the big winner of the night was Shogun which set a new Emmy record with a total of 18 wins, including best drama and lead actor and actress.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Justin Timberlake was mobbed today as he made his way into court to plead guilty to an impaired driving charge. It's a reduced charge after he was cited for DWI during a traffic stop last June. After leaving court he delivered a public safety message, as ordered by the judge. And does Donald Trump really think they're eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio? Despite it being debunked and made the butt of endless memes and jokes, the former president is doubling down. Plus, Miami Dolphins star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is undergoing more tests today after suffering his third concussion since joining the league last night.

When Taylor Swift told her fans she'd be voting for Kamala Harris, more than 10 million people on Instagram liked her post. And hundreds of thousands clicked on her link to a voter registration website. Ann Mercogliano has a look at the possible impact the pop star could have on the presidential election. And summer may be wrapping up but it’s still hot outside and this mom freaked out when her Tesla unexpectedly locked her out, with her 13-month-old baby trapped inside! The temperature was over 100 degrees. Les Trent tells us what happened. Plus, add lifesaver to the list of accomplishments of singer Jon Bon Jovi.

The first and likely only debate - between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is history, and it started with an awkward but very deliberate handshake. And today they were shaking hands again, as Les Trent reports, this time as they attended the 9/11 remembrance ceremony at Ground Zero. And one of the more bizarre moments of the debate came when the former president said quote "they're eating cats and dogs" - a reference to a much-debunked myth about illegal migrants in Springfield, Ohio. It didn't happen, but how did such an outlandish tale get started? Plus, the mother of the teen accused of killing two students and two teachers at his Georgia school is speaking up for her son, saying he's not a monster. However, as Steven Fabian reports, she's also apologizing for what happened. And it’s the childhood toy that's the focus of a very grown up contest. The very first hobby horse championship in America is taking place, and as Alison Hall reports, the competition is fierce.

A new poll shows 7 in 10 Americans plan to watch tonight's presidential debate and 30% say it will help them decide how they're going to vote. The stakes truly couldn't be higher for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, they will be face-to-face. Or more accurately, fingertip to fingertip - the podiums are that close! And you may recall the two Spirit Airline gate agents who freaked out and started screaming at frustrated passengers who's flights had been delayed. The agents were fired, and now they're breaking their silence in an exclusive national TV interview with our Jim Moret. Plus, everyone knows what sank the Titanic…and when a ship hit a much smaller iceberg in Alaska - you couldn't blame passengers for thinking of that other boat. And he had run in lots of marathons and was a big Disney fan - so when Disneyland announced a half marathon he was eager to go, despite temperatures being over 100. Then just as he was approaching the finish line – tragedy as he suffered a fatal cardiac arrest. Ironically, just the day before the race, he posted a video about the California heat.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
