| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:21.5 | video today. But that said, a lot to talk about. So let's just jump into it. Starting with, |
| 0:25.4 | you need to brace yourself for the pivot they were about to see in this Titanic submersible |

| 1:08.3 | design of the subs whole because it was made of carbon fiber instead of a metallic composition. |
| 1:12.2 | He also reportedly disagreed with plans to deploy the sub without first conducting non-destructive testing, |
