Heart-stopping video out of California. A 16-year-old lifeguard, Ryder Williams, fought off massive waves to rescue a young boy swept out to sea. Tonight, that hero is speaking out about the rescue for the very first time. The whole time I was thinking I just need to hold my position until my partner can get here because I'm not going to be able to get him out on my own. Doing the best I can to get a good grip on the child and not get sucked out any further. My partner mostly takes over holding the child because at this point my arms were very exhausted from holding on. I STILL SUPPORT HIM AS MUCH AS I CAN AS WE DRAG HIM OUT OF THE WATER. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PRAISING THE LIFE-SAVING RESCUE AND WANTS TO BRING WILLIAMS AND THE BOY HE SAVED TO THE WHITE HOUSE. REAL QUICK, GUYS, I OPEN IT UP TO THE TABLE. THESE ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED.
