It is not my intention here to deal in any way with "editing" the transcript or changing/not changing anything.
In formal English, it in incorrect to add the ordinal to the date that immediately follows the month:
...on January 5... (not said as "fifth" nor written as "5th")
...until May 2... (not said as "second" nor written as "2nd")
...for June 1... (not said as "first" nor written as "1st")
The other places take the ordinal because it cannot be said any other way.
...the 5th of June...
...on June the 5th...
...before the 5th... Happy punctuating! Margie
