What is the original July 13, 2023 episode of The Charlie Kirk Show transcript and audio, and where can it be accessed?
Executive summary
The July 13, 2023 episode of The Charlie Kirk Show is cataloged under the title "The Wrath of Wray with Matt Gaetz" on Charlie Kirk's official show site and was published July 13, 2023; the program’s audio and a hosted episode page are available from the show’s website and mainstream podcast platforms, while third‑party services maintain searchable transcripts and archived copies [1] [2] [3]. Fact‑checking organizations and archival services cite and link to that exact episode (including clocked timestamps for notable segments), and transcripts can be found on several transcription aggregators, though availability may vary across platforms [4] [5] [6].
1. What the episode is and where it’s posted
The episode in question is listed on The Charlie Kirk Show official podcast feed as “The Wrath of Wray with Matt Gaetz,” released on Thursday, July 13, 2023, and promoted on the show’s own episode page as part of the normal podcast archive [1] [7]. That episode page on thecharliekirkshow.com serves as a primary access point for the show’s content and links out to listening options, including the ability to watch episodes on the associated Salem News Channel and subscribe via standard podcast feeds [1] [2].
2. Where to listen: platform availability and issues
The episode is distributed through mainstream podcast platforms that carry The Charlie Kirk Show: Apple Podcasts lists the program in its feed (with the show cataloged and episodes updated daily) and Spotify also hosts the show’s feed, meaning the July 13, 2023 episode would normally be accessible via those services [3] [8]. Users have reported intermittent availability messages on Apple and Spotify for certain episodes, indicating some episodes sometimes show as “temporarily unavailable,” so access may require trying multiple platforms or the show’s direct website [3].
3. Transcript access: official and third‑party transcribers
Full transcripts for The Charlie Kirk Show episodes are not centrally posted as a single canonical text on the official site in the sources reviewed, but multiple third‑party transcription services index and transcribe the show. Podscribe and Musixmatch provide podcast transcriptions and synced text for the feed generally, and Tapesearch and Happyscribe host searchable episode transcripts and transcriptions of specific episodes from the series, offering another route to the July 13, 2023 episode’s spoken content [5] [6] [9] [10].
4. Archival copies and fact‑checking citations
Independent archival links and fact‑checks reference that same July 13, 2023 broadcast. Snopes’s analysis identified and cited an archived recording of the July 13, 2023 episode (including a specific segment starting around 53:45) when investigating quotes attributed to Charlie Kirk, and that Snopes entry supplies a Rumble archive link as its source for the episode audio [4]. Later blog posts and social posts reference Snopes’s identification and the archived episode, reinforcing that the episode has been archived and cited outside the official feed [11] [12].
5. Caveats, availability nuance and verification best practice
While the show’s website and major podcast platforms are the primary distribution points [1] [2] [3], the research shows variability in episode visibility across platforms at times — listeners may encounter “temporarily unavailable” errors on Apple/Spotify for certain episodes [3] — so confirming access via the show’s official episode page or third‑party archives and transcription services is advisable [1] [5]. Fact‑checkers like Snopes have already used archived audio to verify specific claims from that episode, which provides a reliable cross‑reference when seeking the original audio and timestamps [4].
6. Practical steps to obtain the July 13, 2023 transcript and audio
To retrieve the original audio, consult The Charlie Kirk Show episode page dated July 13, 2023 on the show’s website and follow the embedded listen/watch links or subscribe to the show’s podcast feed on Apple Podcasts or Spotify [1] [3] [8]; if a platform shows the episode as unavailable, use third‑party archives cited by fact‑checkers (e.g., Rumble link referenced by Snopes) or check transcription services (Podscribe, Musixmatch, Tapesearch, Happyscribe) to obtain a readable transcript or time‑stamped excerpts [4] [5] [6] [9] [10]. The sources reviewed confirm the episode’s identity, host platform locations, and the presence of third‑party transcripts and archives, but no single official full transcript hosted on Charlie Kirk’s site was identified in these sources [1] [2] [5].
