What did Charlie Kirk say in his last podcast episode? Final show appearance explored as conservative activist and Trump ally shot dead in Utah 

Right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, September 10. He was an ally of Donald Trump and the founder of Turning Point USA.

Kirk was known for working to mobilize young Republicans and promote conservative ideas. He also hosted a podcast called The Charlie Kirk Show, with its last episode released on Tuesday, September 9. The episode was titled, "What Does "Phillies Karen" Say About American Men?"

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

However, a woman aggressively approached Feltwell, screaming and demanding the ball. Feltwell took the ball from his son and handed it to the woman. People on social media labeled the woman "Phillies Karen."

Charlie Kirk spoke about this incident on his podcast, stating that the father should not have given away the ball. He also welcomed American conservative commentator Jack Posobiec to discuss the incident in detail. As they talked, 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."

Kirk and Posobiec further discussed the incident and talked about how Feltwell should not have given the woman the ball. Posobiec said that he should have just sat down and let security handle things. However, in an interview with NBC Philadelphia, Feltwell said he just wanted to de-escalate the situation.

Meanwhile, the Miami Marlins gave Feltwell and his family a goodie bag after the game, while Harrison Bader gave his son a signed bat.
