Donald Trump says of lifeguard rescue video: "Roll that back, I want to see it again"

In early August, the White House welcomed 16‑year‑old Ryder Williams, the lifeguard who rescued a 10‑year‑old boy from hazardous surf at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz last month, an event captured in a video that was viewed by millions. President Donald Trump commended the rescue, recalling his reaction when he first saw the clip and awarding Williams a top civilian commendation while calling him heroic. Williams, aided by fellow lifeguard Aaron Bohnen, said he hopes the incident highlights the danger of rip currents and noted his ambition to become a firefighter. The rescued child, Nathaniel Rai, is scheduled to turn 11 on Tuesday.
