From Monday's test email:

S. RAMPELL (CNN): And what's interesting is that If Trump actually thinks that there is a conspiracy happening to fake these numbers or to, you know, to fake forecasts, which a number of reporters, including Maggie Haberman and colleagues of mine at "The Washington Post" have reported, you know, the real question is, does he really think that nine other country statisticians are in on the conspiracy too because nine other countries are also -- are either in recession or on the verge of recession, and that's one of the major risks here.

S. RAMPELL should be CATHERINE RAMPELL

Possibly caused by this?

BERMAN: So job numbers were -- you know, economic numbers were phony in the past. Now they're real. Now they're going back to being phony. You could see it in Sean's face. He knows it's B.**S.

RAMPELL**: Yes, of course he does.

From today's test email:

ACOSTA (CNN): The president is out with a new unproven conspiracy theory accusing Google of manipulating more than two million votes in 2016, adding, his victory was even bigger than thought.

The line preceding it in the transcript is (END VIDEO CLIP), but also, the original instance of Jim Acosta was like this: JIM ACOSTA, CNN CHIEF White House CORRESPONDENT. I don't think we account for lowercase letters in the speaker.

This one was from Friday:

MEYER (CNN): The two biggest reasons we decided to make this move, that really troubled me, one is that every year since I've been a restauranteur in a tipping situation, the gap between what a tipped employee and someone who is legally not eligible to accept tips, also known primarily as cooks, the gap has grown and grown and grown, probably by 300 percent.

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1908/14/ampr.01.html

Original instance was DANNY MEYER, FOUNDER & CEO, UNION SQUARE HOSPITALITY GROUP

Seems like there were some weird line breaks happening in the transcript that might have played a role? Not sure.

ENTEN: Yes. So basically, what we see is we see this big divide by age on this question. And what we see is that those under the age of 45, sharing the positions on your issues is most important, 56 percent to 41 percent, on a strong chance of beating Donald Trump.

S. ATWOOD (CNN): The U.S. has been allowed to use strategic bases in Greenland since the Cold War, that allows the U.S. to listen in on Russia and other things across the Arctic and the Danish troops have fought alongside U.S. soldiers in both Iraq and Afghanistan; 43 Danish troops died in Afghanistan fighting alongside U.S. soldiers.

Transcript:

But it is important to point out that Denmark is an important ally of the U.S.

ATWOOD: Exactly right. So President Trump canceled this trip via tweet to Denmark because the prime minister, as you said, called it absurd that the president wanted to buy Greenland.

But the important thing here is that both Danish officials and folks who live there are feeling a little bit like they've been treated unfairly here because they have stood next to the U.S. for years, especially when it comes to national security.
