Today, we're talking about reports that Ocean Gate had ignored employee's safety concerns for years before its Titanic Taurus sub went missing.

0:06.6

Utah banning the Bible in schools.

0:08.7

Why and how kicks absolutely devastating Twitch right now?

0:11.8

Why Texas is taking away water breaks for construction workers working in dangerous heat.

0:15.5

We're talking about all that and so much more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news.

0:20.8

Also your second

He also reportedly disagreed with plans to deploy the sub without first conducting non-destructive testing,

which he said would have tested three key things, the holes, delaminations, porosity, and voids of sufficient adhesion of the glue being used due to the thickness of the hole.

1:23.0

And then another former employee echoed Lockridge's points to CNN. In fact, claiming that even more concerns
