Early in their 70-minute conversation Monday, Elon Musk pressed President Donald Trump about the recent attempt on his life. Trump remarked upon the possibly metaphysical nature of his survival and revealed his plan to return to the scene in Butler, Pennsylvania, where at least one individual sought his demise last month. Musk explained at the outset why Trump's "inspiring" reaction to being shot was part of what prompted him to endorse the Republican before the dust settled on July 13. "Instead of shying away from things, instead of ducking down, you were pumping your fist in the air and saying, 'Fight, fight, fight,'" said the tech magnate. "The president of the United States represents America, and I think that is — that is America. That is strength under fire." Musk later reiterated that "you can't fake bravery under such circumstances. The courage is instinctual or it is not. It's not a rehearsed action." While Trump's actions under fire proved to inspire the tech magnate and others, he stressed that the experience on the receiving end was "not pleasant." "I didn't know I had that much blood," said Trump. "The doctors later told me that the ear is a place that is a very bloody place if you're going to get hit. But in this case, it was probably the best alternative you could even think about because it went at the right angle." Trump characterized the series of events that together spared him from almost certain doom as miraculous, first noting that he was glad to have ducked when he did: "We had bullets flying right over my head after I went down." 'It's a miracle.' "The bigger miracle was that I was looking in the exact direction of the shooter," continued Trump. "All because I put down a chart on immigration that showed that the numbers were so great. I love that chart." "Illegal immigration saved my life," Trump later joked, indicating he may keep the chart with him when he sleeps. Musk suggested that perhaps it's a sign. "It was amazing that I happened to be turned just at that perfect angle," said Trump. According to Trump, the unlikelihood of the lifesaving, last-second turn of his head was compounded by the fact he rarely relied upon the illegal immigration chart. "It's very much, I say, an act of God. It's a miracle," said Trump. "And I'm honored by it." Despite the nature of his last visit to Pennsylvania, Trump announced, "We're going back to Butler; we're gonna go back in October." The Republican candidate for president told Musk how he might kick thing off upon his return: "I think I'll probably start by saying I was so horribly interrupted." Although Trump's comments about his experience were relatively upbeat, he also emphasized the gravity of the shooting, noting that Corey Comperatore lost his life and others who "thought they were not gonna make it" were grievously wounded. "The doctors in the Butler area — I tell you, they were incredible," said the president. "They saved the two and they were really hit tough, both of them equally." Like Blaze News?

Tuesday Morning Minute

Two months and a few dozen leaks after Google announced its summer event, Made by Google '24 is finally here. Google's hardware reveal event begins on Tuesday, August 13, at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET. During this event, the company plans to tell us more about its latest advances in AI, the Pixel 9 smartphone lineup, and more. You can watch along live below. How to watch Made by Google '24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_y2tP9of8A The keynote address begins at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET on August 13, and you can stream it live with the embedded video above. You could also head to this page on Google's website to watch along, and there will be a recording available once the stream ends. What to expect at the event Google shared a first look at the Pixel 9 Pro. Image source: Google As is often the case with Google's events, many of the big surprises have been spoiled. Google says on its website that Made by Google 2024 will showcase "the latest exciting updates across Android, Gemini, and the Pixel portfolio of devices." Based on a string of leaks, we believe that the 2024 Pixel lineup will consist of four devices: the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. By folding (see what I did there) the new foldable Pixel in with all the traditional models, Google appears to be casting as wide a net as possible with its latest smartphone generation. And while the designs of the non-foldable models look similar to those of the Pixel 8, Google has tweaked the look of the eye-catching camera bar by rounding off the edges. We also expect all four phones to feature a new Tensor G4 chip, but rumors suggest it won't be a significant upgrade over last year's G3 processor. That minor improvement sadly won't keep prices down, though, as a price hike is expected. Other than phones, rumors suggest the Pixel Watch 3 and second-gen Pixel Buds Pro will make their debuts at Made by Google this year. Google will also spend some time discussing its latest innovations surrounding Gemini and show off Android 15 for the first time.
