Who is Brady Kiser? What to know about influencer Emilie Kiser's husband
The husband of Chandler-based social media influencer Emilie Kiser told police he was watching their newborn when their 3-year-old fell into the pool and drowned, according to search warrant applications obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Brady Kiser told officers he lost sight of Trigg Kiser for three to five minutes before finding the boy floating in the family's backyard pool, according to the applications, which included sworn police affidavits summarizing a police interview with Brady Kiser.
In May, Emilie Kiser filed a lawsuit to block government records about the investigation into Trigg Kiser's drowning from being released to the public, arguing that doing so would violate her family's privacy.
Emilie Kiser's legal team has since agreed that some records about the investigation into her son's death, such as redacted police and medical examiner reports, could be released. But whatever is made available should balance her privacy against the public's right to know, they said.
The search warrant applications, which were granted, sought surveillance footage at the home to corroborate Brady Kiser's statements to police. The applications were public documents filed with the Maricopa County Clerk of the Superior Court.

Brady Kiser is the husband of Emilie Kiser and the father to their late son, Trigg, 3, and their surviving son, Theodore, who was born earlier this year. Brady Kiser was frequently featured in his wife's social media posts, which focused on family, parenthood, nutrition and other aspects of her daily life.
Trigg was hospitalized on May 12 after he fell into the family's backyard pool in Chandler. Brady Kiser told police he was distracted by Theodore and had lost sight of Trigg for roughly three to five minutes before finding him floating in the pool, according to search warrant applications obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Once he saw that Trigg was in the pool, he jumped in to get the boy and called 911, according to police records. Investigators in the search warrant applications said they wanted to obtain home surveillance video so they could corroborate Brady Kiser's statements.

Brady Kiser is 28 years old.
The couple moved to Arizona so Brady Kiser could pursue work in solar sales, according to a YouTube video Emilie posted in March 2024. She also said he runs his own car-detailing business.

Gen Z on Vacation Captures Moment Hundreds of Missiles Fly Toward Israel
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. While enjoying a poolside drink on vacation, 20-year-old British tourist Sapphire Beard-Griffith noticed bright streaks cutting across the sky in Paphos, Cyprus. What first appeared to be atmospheric anomalies soon became clear: more than 300 kilometers [186 miles] away, Iranian ballistic missiles were streaking toward Israel in a massive, multi-wave attack. Tensions between Israel and Iran escalated sharply in June after Israel launched a major airstrike on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. On Friday, June 13, Iran retaliated with a large-scale missile and drone attack targeting cities across Israel. Iran launched "over 100" ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv in a counterattack named "Operation True Promise III." The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that most of the Iran's missiles were intercepted by air defense systems, though some struck buildings and at least 34 people were injured in the center of Tel Aviv. Beard-Griffith was on the terrace on her villa's poolside in Paphos when she captured footage of the glowing streaks overhead—an eerie sight against the tranquil backdrop of her Cyprus getaway. Pictures from the viral video of the moment the missiles were seen from the villa in Cyprus. Pictures from the viral video of the moment the missiles were seen from the villa in Cyprus. @sapphire_g5/TikTok "[I felt] a mix of fear and disbelief, I never expected to see something like that so close to home," Beard-Griffith told Newsweek. After capturing the video, Beard-Griffith shared the moment on TikTok where it has since been viewed over 3 million times, shocking viewers across the world. "That's so saddening. The thought of all those civilians caught up in it," said viewer Sarah. "Now imagine what its like being the ones that the bombs come to," said Healy. While viewer Jeanette Teresa wrote: "This would have broken my heart to see." "The reaction has been overwhelming, and it's sparked some important conversations which I'm glad about," said Beard-Griffith. Now five days since the video was captured from Cyprus, the conflict is entering its sixth day. Israel continues its military campaign against Iranian targets, with airstrikes hitting nuclear facilities and defense ministry sites in Tehran. Iran has retaliated using drones and missiles—though at a reduced scale after Israel destroyed many of its launchers. President Donald Trump is weighing direct military involvement, having already deployed additional fighter jets and naval resources to the Middle East. While he initially urged Iran to negotiate a nuclear deal, he has since demanded "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" from Tehran. Intelligence reports indicate Iran is preparing to strike U.S. bases in the region if America joins Israel's operation. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has condemned Israel's attacks, warning that any U.S. intervention would lead to "irreparable damage."

Deseret News condemns Lee's posts about Minnesota shooting
The Deseret News has condemned Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee for social media posts about two shootings in Minnesota, writing that his comments 'were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.' The Utah-based publication, a subsidiary of the Morman-owned Deseret Management Corporation, accused Lee of casting a 'poor light' on Utah after the senator posted multiple messages on X that seemed to blame Democrats — including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — for the violence. 'The tweets were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate,' the Deseret News editorial board wrote. 'It revealed a lack of compassion for both victims and their loved ones and cast a poor light on Utah, the state Sen. Lee represents.' Lee's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On Sunday, Lee posted two separate messages to his X account about the weekend shooting in Minnesota that left a Democratic state lawmaker and her husband dead and another Democratic elected official and his wife seriously wounded. Lee also posted about the alleged shooter, 57-year-old Vance Boelter. Boelter was arrested Sunday and is now facing multiple charges, including murder. 'This is what happens when Marxists don't get their way,' Lee stated in one post. Another post included photos of Boelter with the caption 'Nightmare on Waltz Street,' referring to and misspelling Walz. Lee quickly faced backlash from other Congressional members, including Democratic Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith, a friend of slain state Rep. Melissa Hortman. Smith confronted Lee on Monday in a hallway off the Senate floor during evening votes. 'I wanted him to know how much pain that caused me and the other people in my state, and I think around the country, who think that this was a brutal attack,' Smith told reporters. 'I don't know whether Senator Lee thought fully through what it was — you have to ask him — but I needed him to hear from me directly what impact I think his cruel statement had on me, his colleague.' Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) also said she spoke to Lee about the posts. Lee faced criticism from members of his own party as well. North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer said Lee's decision to comment 'seems insensitive, to say the least, inappropriate, for sure' and 'not even true.' Lee deleted the posts on Tuesday, but the Deseret News editorial board is calling for Lee to issue an apology. 'Removing the tweets was a start,' the board said. 'An apology and recognition of the mistake should follow.'

Royal Caribbean cruisers witness risky stunt at Alaska cruise port
The prospect of racking up thousands of views on TikTok drives people to do a lot of crazy and unsafe things. As many TikTokers head to Alaska on cruise ships this summer, it's no surprise that videos of people doing questionable things at Alaska cruise ports are beginning to appear more often in users' feeds. Related: Stranded Norwegian Cruise Line passengers aided by unsung hero Recently, a video went viral on the popular social media platform that captured an unidentified woman doing something very ill-advised at a Juneau, Alaska, cruise ship pier where a Royal Caribbean cruise ship was docked. Not only did the stunt cause commotion at the pier, it drew quite a bit of criticism online as the TikTok video amassed views. As we saw with a recent Carnival cruise TikTok scam video, it's very possible that if the woman who performed the stunt was a cruise passenger and identified by her cruise line, she may now be banned from sailing with the cruise line in the future. Doug Parker shared more details on the risky Alaska cruise port stunt, and other cruise news including a separate incident in Alaska where a cruise passenger was arrested, on the June 16th edition of Cruise News Today.

Good morning, here's your cruise news for Monday, June 16th. A woman caused quite the stir in Juneau, Alaska, after leaping off the cruise pier near Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas. Now, the unidentified woman - dressed pretty casually here - sprinted and jumped into the cold harbor water as she was captured on video, and shared widely on TikTok. Temperatures in the water this time of year are around 45 degrees Fahrenheit and pose a serious risk of hypothermia within 10 to 15 minutes. While no injuries were reported, the stunt drew criticism online for its danger of hitting a submerged object or getting electrocuted by the shore power system.

Now, authorities say 64-year-old Karen Bryan was taken into custody in Ketchikan, Alaska as she re-boarded the cruise ship. The cruise ship has not been identified in the report. Laramie County Sheriff Brian Kozak says she's now awaiting possible extradition back to Wyoming. She is presumed innocent until judgment day.
