Kirk was known to work on mobilizing young Republicans and spreading the right conservative ideas. He also ran a podcast named The Charlie Kirk Show, and the last episode was released on Tuesday, September 9. The episode was titled, What Does "Phillies Karen" Say About American Men?

In the episode, Kirk talks about the viral incident from the Philadelphia Phillies' clash against the Miami Marlins at the LoanDepot Park on September 5. A fan named Drew Feltwell attended the game with his wife and two children. He secured a ball after Harrison Bader hit a home run and gave the ball to his son.

However, a woman came aggressively towards Feltwell and started screaming and demanding the ball. Feltwell took the ball from his son and gave it to the woman. People on social media have labeled the woman "Phillies Karen".

Charlie Kirk spoke about this incident on his podcast and asserted that the father should not have given away the ball. He welcomed American conservative commentator Jack Posobiec on his show. As they discussed the incident in detail, Kirk said about Feltwell:

"This father obviously has emotional stability problems. You could tell that he's got something off about him. But you can see it. No one acts like this, so I think you could tell there's something wrong with him. And it's not even a matter of de-escalation, just the way he did his hands. There's the little shimmy shake, he's got maybe a little Asperger type thing."

"And I'm not accusing him. You just kind of tell there's something that's not quite right there. It's not a normal reaction," he added.

Kirk and Posobiec further discuss the incident and talk about how Feltwell should not have given the woman the ball. Posobiec said that he should have just sat down and let the security deal with things.

However, in an interview with NBC Philadelphia, Feltwell said he just wanted to de-escalate the moment. Meanwhile, the Miami Marlins gave Feltwell and his family a goodie bag after the match, while Harrison Bader gave his son a signed bat.
