Again, calling the russia story, the greatest witchhunt in mrial history. The president s eldest son on fox news, since the controversy he ignited. Acknowledging some regrets, even though he says he did nothing improper. I would have done something differently. This was before the russian mania. Reporter donald trump jr. Is downplaying that meeting with a russian lawyer tied to the kremlin. For me, this was Opposition Research. They had something, maybe concrete evidence to all of the stories i was hearing before, they were reporting for years. I wanted to hear it out. Reporter adding, he never told his father about the meeting. It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. Reporter were there other meetings with russians . I probably met with other people from russia. Not in the context of a formal meeting. Reporter trump jr. Revealing the questions on twitter. They begin june 2016, with Rob Goldstone, who writes he had been contacted by a senior russian government official, offering information that would incriminate Hillary Clinton and her dealings with russia and would useful to your father. Adding, this is highlevel and sensitive information, but is part of russia and support for mr. Trump. Trump jr. s rely, if its what you say, i love it. He wasnt sure if the email was credible. I cant vouch for the information. Someone sent me an email. I cant help what someone sends me. Reporter june 9th, trump jr. , and Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort meet with veselnitskaya. Others saying that transparency didnt go far enough. We cannot rely on any public representations made by the family about their contacts with the russians. Anytime youre in a campaign and you get the offer from a Foreign Government to help your campaign, the answer is no. Reporter the white house is on its heels, with top aides speculating about who within the white houses orbit they blame for these leaks. And there seems to be a shift going on on capitol hill, where many republicans who doubted questions about russian collusion with the Trump Campaign, are now demanding answers. The president is ready for a twoday trip to france, where he is scheduled to hold a brief press conference tomorrow. Thank you. Theres some new questions surrounding the russian attorney that trump jr. Met with. How did she become involved with this in the first place . Nbcs correspondent and the mit mitchell has all this the. Reporter Authorities Say they russia was putting out a net to compromise the Trump Campaign. And they found a convenient target in trump jr. Natalia veselnitskaya, denying she has any connection to the kremlin. Translator no. I am flattered to be called a government attorney. But i never worked with the government in the first place. Reporter with donald trump jr. Fired for meeting with her during the campaign, that meeting was set up with the promise of highlevel and sensitive information, that is part of russia and its governments support for donald trump sr. The emails describe her as a government lawyer. She denies any connection to the kremlin, Intelligence Experts tell nbc news that the meeting may have been sent as a balloon, with veselnitskaya, sent with russian intelligence whether she knew it or not. To test whether donald trump wanted the information, is to go through people he went business with. Reporter donald trump jr. Denies he has useful information. His Attorney Says the meeting lasted 20 to 30 minutes. What could be damaging is that trump jr. Seemed eager to get what he thought would be dirt on Hillary Clinton. Emailing his associate within minutes. If its what you say, i love it. John mclaughlin, former deputy cia director, calls this russian trade craft. It would be a typical thing they can go to the president with and say, look what your son said in this email. Is that something you want to be known publicly . They managed to compromise him and put him in a position where he could have been blackmailed. Reporter perhaps the most surprising part of this drama, that donald trump jr. , facing exposure of the New York Times, released the controversial emails himself. Back to you guys. Were joined by jay sekulow, a member of the president s personal legal team. Mr. Sekulow, good morning to you, sir. Hi, savannah. Good to be with you. Im looking back at some of the things the president has said about the russia investigation and the allegation that somehow his campaign may have coordinated with the russians. Can the president continue to call this a coax, fake news and a charade, when his son has acknowledged the following. He met with an attorney who he believed to be from the highest levels of the russian government, for the purpose of obtaining negative information on Hillary Clinton. Will the president acknowledge this is a legitimate investigation . Theres no illegality. Theyre investigating what violation of what law. Thats what i look at, in any case. Whats the law alleged to be violated here. And the truth of the matter is, a meeting that was described by the release of the emails that donald trump jr. Did yesterday, is not a violation of the law. Isnt that what the investigation seeks to find out . Isnt it too early to make that conclusion . Isnt it too early to do so . I dont think so. And heres why. We know what the facts are. Its clear. The entire chain of emails was released. The chain of emails are out there. And under that scenario, as the facts are, and exactly what happened, theres no vibration of any law. Theres no statute thats in play. It has all of the atmospherics and theres media discussion on it. I understand that. The fact is, theres no law thats been violated because theres not a violation of the law that can take place even with a meeting under that circumstance. Where is the shock and awe . Donald trump jr. Gets an email that this russian attorney has damaging information about Hillary Clinton, that comes as a part of the russian gottvernmens aid to trump. He says, i love it. Lets set this up for later in the summer, i assume it would be closer to the election. Put yourself back a year ago, in the Election Campaign for the presidency of the united states. Hundreds of meetings, probably thousands of meetings, over the course of that year. This was Opposition Research. Opposition research from a foreign hostile government. Were acting like that doesnt ever happen. In reality, we know for a fact, for instance, that the Ukrainian Government was giving information to the Clinton Campaign and to the dnc, regarding to what . Donald trump. So, these things happen. Jay in the meet of the campaign, let me finish this sentence. In the heat of the campaign, 20minute meeting, nothing was violated. Thats it. Did donald trump jr. Lie about this meeting, in your opinion . I didnt hear you. Did donald trump jr. Lie about this meeting, in your opinion . I do not. He said, did i meet with people that were russian . Im sure i did. But none that were set up, and none that i was representing the campaign in any shape or form. This was a meeting with a russian government lawyer and the Campaign Manager Paul Manafort was in that meeting. He lied, didnt he . You bring up a great point, matt. Thats Paul Manafort. He was on a phone line into this meeting. This was a 20minute meeting that took place, out of thousands of meetings. Go back. Didnt he represent the campaign at this point, if he had the Campaign Manager there . He lied to the New York Times. You want to call it a lie. This was a situation where he was having literally dozens of meetings every day. A 20minute meeting that nothing took place in. Go closer in time, if you dont mind. A couple of weeks after he has this meeting, which he can hoping will be someone from the russian government with damaging information about Hillary Clinton. Thats according to his emails. He is asked pointblank about this allegation from the Clinton Campaign, did the russians meddle . Are they trying to help your father . And he says, that is phony. They are lying. Wasnt that untruthful . He knew he had the meeting weeks before. With no information provided. Just because the meeting didnt turn out as he had hoped, doesnt change his intent. But you asked the question, did that violate something . Wasnt that the opposite of what he said . There was no information that was exchanged. There was no information that was exchanged. But the question posed hold on. You asked me a question. A meeting took place. No exchange of information. The meeting ended up producinin nothing. And now, theres a media frenzy going out because russia is in vogue to attack. As the great involvement in the campaign. The fact is, zero happened here. If nothing happens but just to close the loop on this issue. The question he was asked on cnn in july was, are the russians trying to help your father . Do they favor your father in this campaign . And he said that is phony and that is a lie. When he, in fact, had received an email that states, the russians want to help your father. And nothing came of that. So, heres the question, and this is what i think has to be asked. Is the meaning of itself, and a lot of legal experts said this. The meaning of itself, under the pretenses there were. The pretext was supposed to be this information about Hillary Clinton. What did it end up being . Nothing related to that at all. He said the meeting was nonsensical. Nothing took place. Nothing transpired. Theres no law that was violated here. And we can create this discussion. But the reality is, when you asked me at the beginning, whats at issue here legally . There is there illegality in this meeting. What is interesting also, and people are going through the email. Thats fine. Donald trump jr. Released the email. Unlike Hillary Clinton who deleted 33 emails. Thats not a great story. And donald trump jr. Said im releasing the emails to be completely transparent. He did that about an hour or so after the New York Times called him and said we have this story. Were going to publish it. Would you like to comment on it . His represent said, give us more time. At that time, he released this email chain. Thats not being transparent. Thats trying to appear as if youre transparent when youre backed into a corner. Look, his lawyers made the decision to release the entire chain of emails. That was the decision they made yesterday. They were going to be publ h published. So what . When asked about this meeting on saturday, he told the New York Times it was about russian adoption and nothing else. Thats what the meeting was and the purpose of the meeting was to obtain this information. If you want to be transparent, you could have released this chain weeks ago, months ago, when the russia story exploded about possible meetings. Two things here, the meeting was about the adoption issue. That was a correct statement he made. Correct but misleading. Right . This is what the meeting was about. Number two, you say we can release i represent the president of the united states. We were not aware of this, obviously, the email. We were not aware of the meeting. The president did not attend the meeting. Was only made aware of this email you know when the president saw the email, when everybody else did. At one point in the email exchange, Rob Goldstone wrote to donald trump jr. , i can also send this info to your father, via rhona. Thats his personal assistant. Did you check and rehocheck rons emails . Rona works for the trump administration. I work for the president of the united states. The president did not see any emails relating to this at all. Can you explain the following timeline . On june 3rd, the Trump Campaign gets a call from goldstone, setting up this meeting, offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton. And four days later, the president says im going to have damaging information about Hillary Clinton coming next week . Well, there was Opposition Research was doing done every, single day, by the campaigns. Thats the nature of the way it is. There was information that came out day after day. As did against the president. That was a correct statement. It was not based on any of this. The fact is, this meeting i want to be clear on this as the president s lawyer. I said it already. The president was not aware and did not attend this meeting and was only made aware of the email and the chain of emails, he only saw yesterday as it was released. It he was made aware very, very recently by his lawyers. Jay sekulow, thank you very much for your time. My pleasure. Thank you.

Wednesday morning, nice to have you along with us. Lets get right to a check of the headlines, donald trump, junior, speaking out in his first controversial meeting with a russian attorney, for the purpose of getting information on Hillary Clinton. On fox news the president s son said if he had to do it all over again, he probably would have done things a little differently. For me this was Opposition Research. It had something maybe concrete everyday to all the stories i were hearing about but were unreported for years not just during the campaign. I think i wanted to hear it out. Trump jr. Claims it turned out to be quote nothing. He released the entire email chain with the publicist who first initiated this conversation with a russian lawyer. This was an emotional scene, thousands gathered at a new York City Church tuesday to remember a fellow officer killed in the lean of duty a. Sea of blue stretched for blocks. The officer, a mother of three, w ambushed last week while she hat in a car. Marineer nelson cruz stopped play and took a pick. Molina stepped in to snap that pho photo. The game was tied until the 2nd inning, Robinson Sano hit a solo show. He, be i the way, was named mvp. Are there selfies in baseball . Usually not in the middle of a game. Now a strange new twist in the Amelia Ehrhardt mystery, we were talking about this last week, investigators believe this newly discovered photo show earnhardt and her navigator actually survived a crash landth in the Marshall Island itself and were held captive by the japanese, now new questions are being raised about that. We have nbc tom costella back on the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning, another week. Another mystery. History channel found the photo in the National Archives became convinced that shows Amelia Ehrhardt on the right and fred noonan alive in the japanese islands. A japanese blogger shows it showed in a book in the Pacific Islands before she went missing. So what does that do to the ehrhardt mystery . The history channels two hour Amelia Ehrhardt investigation centered largely on this photo found in the National Archives brought to date about 1937, thought to be weeks before they disappeared. Former fbi investigator and analyst sean henry took the photo to facial recognition analyst ken gibson who said there is compelling evidence ehrhardt is the woman sitting on the dock and noonan is sitting on the dock. I say this is very likely. R. But now a japanese blogger discovered that same photo has turned up in the official japanese library, in a photo book argue nalley published in fine 35. The caption doesnt identify who is in the photo, but it was taken in the Marshall Islands two years before ehrhardt and noonan disappeared, casting doubt on whether thats them in the photo. This morning the history team is trying to regroup. So were going to continue to investigate this. The accuracy is obviously important. We want to follow the facts where they lead and were certainly going to do that. Reporter a competing ehrhardt investigator Rick Gillespie says he has files full of false claims about ear hard. He never believed the history channels case on ear hard and noonan being in the Marshall Islands. She apparently reached another im, landed safely, called for help for nights. The airplane was lost to the sea by rising tides and surf and she died as a castaway on gardner island. On the local island, localles said for decades, they landed there, only to be taken to a japanese prison camp on saipan. I didnt even know it was a woman. A story reiterated and depicted on stamps issued 30 years ago. I think the evidence that weve collected thus far in totality says noonan and ehrhardt landed in the Marshall Islands. I think thats true. Reporter the japanese government always maintained it has no documents suggesting ehrhardt was ever in its custody. So, how did that japanese photo end up in the u. S. National archives . Well, it was likely gathered by u. S. Intelligence as the u. S. Prepared to invade the Marshall Islands durth during world war ii. So the Amelia Ehrhardt mystery remains a mitry this morning. Guys. Tom, i dont know what to think anymore. Full disclosure, have you me convinced, completely convinced. Wals a on vacation. He called in and told me. But i found my luggage. Now, thats twists and turns, tom, 80 years later, still the story that keeps on giving. Yeah, tanks. Mr. Roker. Well, it is starting to get a little muggy out there. Feeling a lot like as i remember throughout a good portion of the country. As you look right now, we got heat advisories for the heat indices that will be over 100 degrees from tulsa, ft. Smith, peoria, into des moines, it extends east, philadelphia, wilmington, excessive heat watches. It will feel like its above 100 through thursday. For today, that muggy air pumps on in here. When you factor in the air and humidity, our heat indexes disappears. It feels like 100 in walk, colombia, memphis and kansas city, same thing for tomorrow, goes right on into friday where those temperatures are going to feel well good morning, im kari hall, well keep it cool in San Francisco with mid 60s today and tomorrow. By friday and into the weekend it will be warming up into the 70s while the inland areas will have a drastic change in temperatures from the upper 80s today to over 100 for the weekend. Well slowly see the temperatures coming back down. Today is one of the coolest days in the sevenday forecast. Dont forget, get your full forecast 24 7 on the Weather Channel and cable. We will. Thank you, al. Thanks, al. Now to one of our favorite stories of the day. This involves a remarkable rescue down in florida. A group of beach goers linking arms to save a family from drowning. Heres nbcs kerry sanders. Reporter it could have gone wrong really fast. Oh, wow. Reporter a family of six along with four other swimmers swept from shore caught in a rip current on the shores of panama city beach, florida.

What can you tell us . Reporter this morning, the president is elaborating after donald trump jr. Appeared on tv to defend himself. The president , in this new tweet, said his son did a good job. Calling him open, transparent and innocent. Again, slamming the russia investigation as the greatest witch hunt in political history. Today, damage control for donald trump jr. With a new acknowledgment about those explosive emails. In retrospect, i probably would have done things a little differently. This is before the rush mania.

On june 3rd last year, a publicist he knew reached out and, quote, offered to provide the Trump Campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be useful to your father. Writing, its part of russia and its governments support for mr. Trump. Donald trump jr. s response, if its what you say, i love it, especially later in the summer. I dont think my sirens went up or the antennas went up because of it. It wasnt the issue that its made out to be over the last nine months, ten months. Since it really became a thing.

Reporter the president in a short statement, calling his son, a highquality person. And i applaud his transparency. Trump jr. , telling hannity he his father didnt know about the meeting at the time. It was a wasted 20 minutes, which was a shame. Reporter the president s outside lawyer, this morning with matt and savannah. A meeting under the circumstances that were described by the release of the emails that donald trump jr. Did yesterday, is not a violation of the law. Reporter today, more fallout expected on capitol hill, where critics point to the meeting as evidence of possible collusion, or at the very least, bad judgment. Were beyond obstruction of justice as far as whats being investigated. This is moving into perjury and false statements. On its face this, is problematic.

Now, inside the white house, open speculation from aides about who leaked the story in the first place. Matt . Thank you very much.

Topvo our breaking news firefighters are still mo good wednesday morning at 8 56, im sam brock. We continue to follow breaking news this morning. Firefighters still monitoring for hot spots after this fastmoving brush fire that swept through an area right by san joses Alum Rock Park yesterday. This is video from sky ranger that was shot just a short time ago. The fire destroyed one home and heavily damaged another. In all, it forced 11 nearby homes to be evacuated. Residents were only allowed to return late last night. Now, overnight we learned that fire has burned through about 100 acres. Firefighters say even though the flames are out, the fire is still not fully contained. So far there is no word on what started the fire. Happening right now, our bob redell is at the firehouse where firefighters recently wrapped up an internal briefing on the fire. Hell have a live report for our midday newscast. We are also posting updates in the meantime on our twitter feed. Warnings going up right now along the busiest beaches in santa cruz after a kayaker narrowly avoids being bitten by a shark. This could have been a white shark. Beaches within a onemile radius of that attack are closed for the next four days. On our facebook page, details about some of the other recent shark sightings that have happened in the same area. Thats going to do it for us right now. Well have more news for you coming up in 30 minutes. This morning on todays take, hit me baby one more time. Britney spears and secret talks. The headlining of one of the worlds biggest events. From brownies and other cool treats for the summer. And an act of heroism and humanity that saved a family. Thats all coming up right now. From nbc news, this is todays take. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. Its wednesday morning. Humpday, july 12th, 2017. And youre listening to alone by allen walker. Were not alone. Dylan is back. Gangs all here. And sheinelle. I love this new dress of yours. Thanks. The whole wardrobe had been new. I saw a girl returning it. And have you seen somebody returning something and i kind of like it. Oh, its my size. And i tried it. I like it. Just like that. Why not . And youre back after spending time with family and friends in boston. I had a couple days off. Novel idea. I told dylan, where have you been . It looks like you spent time at a spa or something. She said, i had two days off. After driving 7 1 2 hours to get to boston on friday, the traffic was so awful. It was well worth the trip. Thank you, i95. I95 is maybe the worst road in the country. I will go out on a limb and say that. Especially through connecticut. It was all worth it because it was brian grandmothers 85th birthday. And we got to introduce calvin to not one, but two great grandmothers. Nice Birthday Party for her. And thats brians nana. Between the two of them, theres 50 great grandchildren. I want to say, i lost my grandparents when i was younger. If your grandparents are still around, give them a call, pick their brain. Talk to them about anything. They just theyre just so special. And i miss so much the time i could have spent with my grandmothers when they were around. Such a gift. It was so wonderful to introduce them to them. Reunited with friends in boston. Nice friends of ours. We had a nice barbecue. We used to have the only one girl, emma. Now, we all have kids and families. Thats great. Thats really cool. We squeezed in as much as we could. When you have two days off, a lot of people dont realize. When we do mornings, the next morning, you are looking at the clock. When you have two days off, you didnt have to look at the clock and think, i had to go to bed. I slept. And it was wonderful. And then calvin slept. And when calvin wasnt sleeping, i was like, here, denise, my motherinlaw. Take calvin. Everybody is taking him. Yeah. It was a lot of fun. Excellent. You were out for a bike ride yesterday. I see my daughter, leila, is working as a Camp Counselor on the west side. And i saw some of the kids with the camp name on it. I just texted her, im passing a bunch of your campers. She said, im in the park. She teaches musical theater. She said, come see me. I came over. You know, took a picture. Thats adorable. And deborah said, you didnt embarrass her, did you . Thats your immediate goto . That would be yes. Thats funny to surprise her at work. She often calls you when youre at work. On air. Yes. She has been doing this morning. I like, too, people assume, i did when i didnt live in new york city, its so big and impersonal, you would never bump into your daughter. It is very neighborhoody. That kind of thing definitely happens. And you didnt embarrass her . I did not. She was running up with a big smile. Like papa. She normally doesnt call me. Thats what she calls me. No, she doesnt. Maybe she thought i was somebody else. It was nice. Introduced me to her fellow counselors. Its hard to think ahead toward next year. But two superstories about some major upcoming sporting events. Juicy rumor reported by the new york daily news. Britney spears team may be having a secret meeting about her performing at this years super bowl . You remember, she was part of the 2001 halftime show. It was n sync and aerosmith. Back in 2001, thats huge. They cant confirming it . We reached out to britneys team. She has a team. But there was no comment on the reports. So, i dont know. Would she sing baby, one more time you think . I dont know. It would be cool, i think, if she reunited with j. T. I think the super bowl halftime shows that are performances, you know, that have a whole bunch of stuff going on. Yes. With surprise guests and dancing. That makes it better than just having an artist just sing. A collaboration of hits. An event. Yes. Well see. Theres a huge sporting event making news. The ioc has announced that the hosts of the 2024 and 2028 olympics will be los angeles and paris. Who will host which year wont be announced until september. What do you think about that . The olympics in l. A. I love that. I love the idea of paris. It was 84. This would be the third time. They hosted it back in the 30s. And then, youve got, you know, 1984. And now, this. A much shorter flight than china. They are. And theyre working on a new subway line. I didnt know that. That has a paleontologist onstaff. Just in case .

We have a segment coming up about water and swimming safety tips, you dont want to miss. I thought earlier, were doing a swimming and safety story and then this happened. And its just a reminder. You get caught in a riptide. And it was the whole family. They were all out there. They are so strong. They saw the kids and just swim back with them. But no. You have to swim against it, parallel to the shore. How cool is it for people to come together and pull them in. Really neat.

Pampers we are back with more of todays take. We always love these military homecomi homecoming surprises. Ive never seen one like this. A week after her husband, chris, deployed with the navy for a tour in the western pacific, his wife, natasha, discovers shes pregnant with the couples fourth child. She decides to keep it a secret until he came home six months later. Take a look. Welcome home. Welcome home. You like the sign . Is that real . Yes. Nuhuh. Youre getting your boy. Are you serious . How sweet. He said, is that real . Heres the thing, natasha would hold things over her stomach. When she posted things on social media, she would hide her baby bump. He had no idea she was expecting. Thats hard to keep the surprise for six months. Thats amazing. If its your fourth child its a little easier to do, m n maybe. I thought the same thing. I would be doing the math first. I left six months ago. Theyre expecting a baby girl in late august. That would be, you want to tell him everything. So many nuances that go along with being pregnant. But like you said, the fourth time arnold, she can handle it like a champ. Got creative. Thats great. Question for the table. Yes . Does food taste better after you workout . Yes. Theres no guilt when you eat it. I feel guilty. Like youre undoing what you just did. You exercise and youre so hungry. You eat a meal. Part of me says, maybe its still burning. The other piece of me feels guilty. I feel like i eat it anyway. The exercising was a bonus. There you go. Even better. According to a new study from the university of kentucky, yes, food does taste better. The term for this phenomenon is licensing. It refers to the fact that when we do something good, we feel more liberated to do something not so virtuous. Thats it. Is it true that when you workout, your body is burning calories . You eat it i heard if you do cardio, you go for a run, youre burning calories while youre running. But when you do weight limfting youre burning calories after the fact. Joseph, what say you . Can we eat . To you keep burning calories is your Metabolic Rate still up . It is. But you need to eat a certain amount every day anyway. To fuel. Just to fuel. It doesnt compensate that i can have a doughnut if youre going to eat the doughnut and you just burn 300 calories. Are you hiding . Put him on camera since hes hiding. He went to the basement.

Topvo our breaking news firefighters are still ni good wednesday morning, it is 9 26. We continue to follow breaking news right now out of san jose where firefighters are still looking out for hot spots after a fast moving brush fire that swemt through this area yesterday. This video that youre looking at right now much clearer in the light of day, it was shot by the nbc bay area sky ranger a short time ago. It destroyed one home and heavily damaged another. It forced the evacuation of 11 homes near by. They were only able to return late last night. That fire burned through about 100 acres. It has been stable so far this morning. Even though the flames are generally out, the fire is still not fully contained. So far no word on what started the blaze. In santa cruz, the harbor control there is posting warning signs in the wake of a kayakers Close Encounter with what he believes was a white shark. He has bite marks on his kayak to prove it. He says the shark knocked him into the water. A nearby fisherman radios to Harbor Patrol and crew members came out to rescue him. They have ordered a closure for a one mile radius from that attack. As the week moves on, the look at Warming Trends and traffic after this. Good morning, im kari hall, its going to be a nice, warm day day especially in the inland areas. Napa and santa rosa up to 84 degrees. San francisco will see the high temperatures in the mid 60s today with breezy winds and well be warming up as we get closer to the weekend and the inland areas are in for really scorching temperatures, whats happening on the roads now, mike . The crash is just north of the park way on northbound 880. Traffic compressing at that point and slowing on our sensors as well. One lane is still blocked. Meanwhile the south bay showing recovery. The earlier crash cleared some lanes. Slow now past the airport. A busy morning, thank you for joins us. An important story, now. This weekend, some of you may be going to the beach or heading out on a boat. But listen to this. Drowning is the leading cause of deaths by children ages 14. An estimated 100 people die in the u. S. From unintentional drowning. What can you do to protect yourself. La tikka shaw is an pool safety instructor. We are in lifeguard chairs right now. I feel ready. We are going to talk about lifeguard vests and cpr. When it comes to protecting your kids, dont assume because theres a lifeguard there, you dont have to be hand on. Thats literally the most important thing. Just because theres a lifeguard there, doesnt mean youre absolved of surveillance or individual lens. Its when theres more adults watching that more accidents tend to happen. Because everybody has a false sense of security, theres more eyes so more people are watching. If everybody is thinking that, nobody is actually watching the kids, right . You picture, you think of somebody drowning, you think of somebody saying, help, help. You think your eye will catch it. Thats a reason its called the silent killer. Theres an idea of the movies and the tv, this will be a panicked, loud thing. In real life, its not. Its really not. What is it more like . It is silence. Theres some thrashing. But the person is so focused on being able to get air, theyre not able to make noise. More often, its someone is not moving forward in the water. They might go upright and then, down. Its very scary. Surveillance and prevention is the key. Life jackets are important. But not all created equally. We have some. I didnt know there was a seal. We want two things when looking for a life jacket. We want it to be u. S. Coast guard approved. Theres a seal on the outside and inside. I have never i nnt kndidnw to look for that. The more you know. You want to make sure it fits right. Theres age and weight requirements for every life jacket. Thats what we have our boys here . Yeah. We have benjamin and isaiah and mom. Same size life jackets. These are the same size. As you can see, this one fits pretty well. If you tug up, the idea is that the straps arent going to go up to his ears. If they were going to go into the water, the life jacket would keep him afloat. But this jacket, the jacket is going above his ears. Thats where the level of the water would be. Right . Keeps his face underwater. The jacket floats. If its not fitting you properly, it will float above you. Just because its a life jacket doesnt mean its appropriate. These are good tips. If you were to see someone drowning or seeming like they could brown, you say theres cools to use. First and foremost, alert someone to help. A lifeguard or someone with training. Call 911, get some help. If theres no one around to get your child, reach or throw, dont go. Reach or throw, dont go. I almost tripped over these. We have some things to use to reach, in lieu of yourself. Broom, pool pole. Theres a buoy in most recreation pools. You can throw one in. If its you laying down and handing out your arm to pull them to you. If you go out to them, you could get injured, you could injure them more. And what about the other kids around them . Okay. We talk about cpr. I think it seems intimidating and sometimes you take courses. But a lot of us dont remember. Ill be honest. Is there anything we can all do . There is. We have something hand only cpr, which anyone can learn. Come on down. I want to iemphasize, when it comes to drowning, we recommend full cpr, the compressions and the breaths. And you can learn how to do that by taking a class. Visiting our website and signing up for a class. Thats way better for someone in a drowning situation. Hands only is better than doing nothing. After you check the scene and have checked them. If theyre unresponsive and not breathing, send someone to call 911, youre going to start pressing on the chest. One hand along the breastbone. Use the armpit lines. How do you know where to go . Armpit to armpit. Right in the center. Hand on top, and fingers go together. And you shift your weight forward. Your shoulders are above your hands. You press hard and fast. At least two inches deep for an adult. About two inches deep for a child. I feel like i would break something. Yeah. Thats a risk. But broken bones heal. And the heart is not going to start pumping blood on its own. Two inches or about two inches for a child. And its pretty fast. If you sing for hes a jolly good fellow or staying alive. Really appropriate. Come on in. Right in the center. Hands up. Move your shoulders over. There you go. You really have to push. And go a little faster. Perfect. If theyre toddlers . 1 years old to 12 years old, has a body size that would be two inches. 12 and up, at least two. The heart is down far in our body.
