A Medal of Honor for a Grenade I Can’t Remember | Kyle Carpenter | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 72

You would think that jumping on a grenade to save the lives of his fellow Marines would be the defining moment of Kyle Carpenter’s life. But anyone willing to sacrifice his own life must have had quite the story to tell already. And miraculously, he’s survived to tell it. The youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, Kyle can’t remember his heroic act. He recounts his life before the grenade, the surreal moments right after the explosion, and the amazing things he’s chosen to do with his second chance at life. The author of “You Are Worth It: Building a Life Worth Fighting For,” he’s chosen to embrace his scars and spread hope and kindness across the nation. And unbelievably, he’s grateful for the grenade that gave him the opportunity.

Wisdom comes from Sorrow....a true Hero with a humble grateful heart....a very strong and tender MAN.

[@rolandguest5585]

No doubt Kyle Carpenter has an amazing insight into his goals and determination to push himself(he’s a Marine). May God Bless you Brother for doing what Jesus said; you laid down your life for your Brother Marines! I hope one day to meet you! If not in this life, but in Heaven!

[@johnhsneed]

Kyle's story just racks my heart in sadness for all he's been through. Who can face their own weakness after listening to his story? God Bless Kyle.

[@loreenshorb710]

ThankYou Sir..GodBless..MAGA..AMEN

[@143AD]

Yeah too much estrogen in war these days, huh? And men like you who buy the BS. Wars we have no business fighting and boys we have no right destroying!

[@tomglavinehof1]

It’s almost unfathomable he survived

[@suesylvester7075]

This is a true American hero! And gives me so much needed hope for our future.

[@josephjacobson5369]

This man is what I would call a true hero.

[@patricksmith5263]

Wow, that’s a Man youngsters should look up to.. Didn’t think Twice about giving his on life for his buddies! Salute!

[@ianhumphry1]

Youngsters (millennials) if today only look up to lie lifes like ANTIFA and communists like omar and tlaib etc.

[@bodazaphfa]

Kyle is a perfect representation of what and who the Medal stands for. It’s a heavy burden to carry, I’m sure, but he’s the epitome of honor.

[@timothyaure9602]

Greater love has no one than this: That one lays down his life for a friend. Respect for this hero!!!🇺🇸

[@bitsandspurz048]

May the Lord bless you with every breath you take, Kyle Carpenter. Same for every service person who returns. May God bless you all.

[@Reldawg]

This is what courage looks like! Thank you for all that you have sacrificed! God bless you!

[@stevejackson3564]

Thanks. Kyle Carpenter. Without you & your buddy's along with countless others before you have gave me & my family freedom. God bless you forever. Thank you.

[@funkibloo3811]

💖🙏💞🇺🇸🙏God Bless you Sir! 💝

[@ieatedabee6943]

What a Beautiful Amazing Young Man. God Bless You Sweetheart.. God Bless America. Thank you so truly for your service. Semper Fi Brother. 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸

[@uscgmom9796]

I believe it was in 2013 when I heard Kyle was going to be hosted by our military at a special dinner honoring him in the East Bay area of California. I was a veteran volunteer, a Blue Star Mom as my only child was chosen to serve in the United States Coast Guard in 2008 at age 18. I immediately learned how to make stained glass windows honoring military. I made a USMC round for Kyle and had SENTINELS OF FREEDOM in San Ramon give it to Kyle. God bless this great Marine and all of our service men and women and veterans who need our help more than ever before. GOD BLESS ALL -

[@Louloubell]

God certainly has His hand upon your life...there is a purpose for all things, and you are living yours. God bless your journey!

[@TheScubahustler]

Not only is Kyle a hero, but a loving and compassionate man. Truly worthy of the Medal of Honor. Kyle thank you for everything that you have done, and everything you will do. God bless you!

[@barbararuthschatzmann8078]

What an interview! I am very impressed how Kyle is making everything so simple and yet complex at the same time. Gives me a new perspective to many things, simply by listening to him. I also am impressed by the way Glenn is conducting the interview; I can tell that he himself had many hard and defining moments in his life and that he chose these moments not to become bitter, but different and stronger. Way to go, both of you!

[@joenorris449]

No greater gift hath a man then he would lay down his life for a friend/brother; glad you survived against the odds; a true hero! Small in stature but a really big man!

[@MrTommyboy11]

What an amazing story.

[@TrumpedUp888]

AMERICA! HOME OF THE BRAVE! WE SALUTE YOU SOLDIER ...07!

[@BraddahBruce]

Kyle Carpenter is an amazing honorable, inspiring and humble individual. Thank you for embracing your challenges so others can be encouraged.

[@johnmcdonald3272]

Thank you Glen for sharing this amazing story! What an honorable man, Who could not learn from this mans story??? My uncle also was given The Medal Of Honor and my beloved father received 4 Barons stars in WWII. I stand in awe thinking about all these brave men lived thru, then and after! Thank you again for sharing, Johnny Mac's wife

[@valerieousmane9656]

He is such a humble man 💙 God wasn’t done with Kyle! He is a true American 🇺🇸 hero! God bless him!

[@SandyKaye]

What a warm and inspiring story. Thank you for sharing Glen

[@wocookie2277]

This young man is my hero! He joined the year I retired after 24 years. He is so worthy of this medal! A more eloquent and humble man does not exist.

[@Gurthick]

I watched it on Blazetv. Such a good interview.

[@aaronwieman8368]

This is a true hero, leader, and absolute role model.

[@florybautista698]

God bless You Kyle. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸

A true hero, Semper Fi brother

[@tammyk9772]

We owe everything to you... Thank you and God bless you!

[@michaelcoulter714]

This Marines unbelievable bravery and the fact he is so introspective and humble blows my mind . He is such an inspiration and a person to be emulated. Thank you for your incredible sacrifice and service to our country and your fellow Marines.

[@PLA5207]

Kyle's story of his experiences sobers and humbles me and my spirit. Bless you Kyle, your family and thank you for sharing this. Doc Phil

[@aaronwieman8368]

What a legend and the pinnacle of American spirit

[@bodazaphfa]

As an E-5, I would and will salute this LCpl with honors if I ever see him in person.

[@stagsmcnasty1]

A real american hero. God bless you my friend.

[@Rombizio]

Such a small and frail guy as he sits there talking about a feat of courage that cannot be described.

[@PhilMyCrackin-qd3lk]

Kyle was God sent. What an amazing human being. May God continue to bless him. Glen, ,are you thankful for that grenade? I am, Wow.

[@Hardrakk187]

How are there 10 people out there that can give this a thumbs down? This guy is the truest definition of a Warrior. Just from watching him tell his story, I can tell Kyle Carpenter is salt of the earth. Semper Fi

[@bodazaphfa]

This is a man of honor. Such a great interview.

[@jmethos]

I wish I had half the mental fortitude of Kyle Carpenter!

[@paulhunter1735]

If we all had just a fraction of the honor , integrity, and loving spirit that this young man has what a far more beautiful world this would be. Instead of our schools teaching critical race theory and other things that pull us apart they should be studying how a young man like this lives his life and is grateful for the bad things in life that led to him becoming a stronger and better person. I can only hope that if i were put into a position like he found himself in that i would have even half the honor and courage and determination that he has shown us all.

[@sgtmeadowsjd]

Outstanding Kyle, Marines take care of Marines! Semper Fi!! YUT!!!

[@syx3s]

i've never been blown up and kyle looks better than i do. i absolutely love this guy. he is my hero. that is all.

[@hunkerbunt5174]

I feel the same way

[@hunkerbunt5174]

I feel the same way

[@IntegrityandKarma]

I don't know what this magnificent man is wanting out of college,but he could teach philosophy and resilience to our nation's youth. Just such a Good person.

[@JasonBrown-dd7dj]

You right there

[@1objective688]

I love America and Americans so very much, it makes my heart pound out of my chest!!! I am from Australia, but my grandfather was an American WW2 veteran. America is the only country worth dying for, and a great shining beacon for what the rest of the world can achieve. I would give anything to be with my family in the USA. The greatest gift anyone could give to their children, is to have them become American and raise them to love God and Country and lay their life down for it. I will spend the rest of my life trying to get home to the USA. Never ever, under any circumstances give up your rights America, especially your 2nd! It is horrible to have your mouth sewn up and your hands tied behind your back. That's life in Australia and every other country in the world. If you give an inch, you will loose everything. God bless you America!!!

[@leslievey5425]

Thank you . Americans always admired Australians. Very sorry things have changed there .

[@JasonBrown-dd7dj]

An absolute legend,fair play.God bless this man and bring him joy in everything he does absolute hero

[@ralphmurphy4722]

What a humble young man, God bless you and your family

[@andyspecht1221]

I listened to the podcast this morning. It's a great interview! I'll certainly be watching it.

[@herobands1]

This was an unfair video Glenn you should include warnings for us Vets saying "TISSUES REQUIRED" Powerful message and amazing interview. I loved the question and reflection that your worthiness question brought up. Thanks for making my day. God Bless.

[@melanieandrejczak5279]

What a wonderfully made human being. May God continue to bless him, and all those he touches.

[@jeannemarie3704]

This whole interview is bringing me to tears. And joy. May God bless you Mr. Kyle and your family. You are such a beautiful soul.

[@napu2652]

TRUE HERO

[@missymurphy2444]

A great and thought provoking episode Glenn. I understand why you asked the young man if he thought he deserved the medal of honor. Because some kids these days feel like they deserve certain things. He answered it being true to his character, as a humble man should.

[@onenessisthekeyJISL]

Honestly I see Jesus intervention in this Soldier Story I can see an Angel of the Lord covering the Grenada with the hand and Stopping the blast to a degree that he still alive. all because Jesus has a plan for him like with each one of us. I know my and I struggle every day. because the enemy has a hold and fear kicks in I know fear is of the devil because Jesus will never give us the Spirit of fear. who ever give a thumbs down to this interview does not have the Love of Christ in the heart. and it is doom to spend Eternity in Hades.

[@scottwhite6040]

Kyle u are and will always be incredible human being. Well done very well spoken GOD has given you the strength in your mind, body, and soul. If I had to guess, I would say you are the vessel in which he has taught others about just being kind, empathetic, humble, gracious, loving, caring. I wish you nothing but the best may the rest of your life be filled with fun love and laughter God bless you and your family you are a beacon of light.🙏

Wow, are you a religious guy? You asked that question quietly and poignantly, I have been listening and thinking the same thing. Glenn thank you for introducing us to Kyle. I thank God for saving this precious young man who is wise beyond his years.

Why can't people look up to this guy instead of the horrible people we do look up to... Unreal

40:00 this is a beautiful moment

[@Marimilitarybrat]

That was a great interview. Thank you so much. Now, I understand what courage and integrity really look like.

[@thomashazard525]

One of the your best interviews, Glenn. I could have listened to it even if it was many hours long. I'd be interested in hearing from the 4 people who gave "dislike" thumbs down ratings for this video (as of this date 3/22). Why did you not like this interview? What, if anything, offended you while listening to the story of this young American hero?

[@Squatch34]

Prob accidentally hit it

[@jeanninebooth6415]

WOW❤

[@Ross4340]

Way too many commercials to constantly interrupt a fantastic interview. What a shame!

[@lifebybill1326]

As amazing as this young man and American hero is, he is not the youngest Medal of Honor recipient of all time. Willie Johnson was just 13 during the American Civil War and Jack Lucas was 17 during WWII when they received their MOH. Obviously, they both lied about their age in order to enlist. Kyle Carpenter is the 8th youngest MOH recipient. 1. Willie Johnston - 13 Civil War 2. James Walsh - 16 Occupation of Vera Cruz 3. Jack Lucas - 17 WWII 4. Robert Burke - 18 Vietnam 5. Benjamin Young - 19 Civil War 6. Marvin Young - 21 Vietnam 7. Robert Femoyer - 23 WWII 8. Kyle Carpenter -24 Afghanistan

[@amytucker5931]

Yes .it was

[@aaronwieman8368]

Defiantly could be president, or at minimum a senator

[@cindyjo9093]

Of course he's worthy of the Metal of Honor! Why would you ask that Glenn?

[@davidharris2519]

Glenn was getting his thoughts if He thought he deserved it

[@kenehlears7716]

He asked because many of the men who have won that medal truly believe that their actions werent that amazing.it is one of the things that amaze me the most about Medal of Honor winners;to a man They are among the most humble men around.if you get a chance watch kyles video "a beautiful burden" where he talks about what the medal means to him.

[@ScottsafriendofGod]

I HOPE YOU CAN READ THIS Kyle, even Jesus knew what it was like to feel alone when His earthly journey was turning to spiritual... He said Father why have You forsaken Me. Jesus felt alone... even though He wasn't. I don't believe you were alone... you're still not alone. Thank you so much for your life, and your death.

[@kathleenlarkin9517]

An American hero gets not even 100,000 views but some gay guy doing makeup gets millions of views so god damn aggravating. Godbless you Kyle true superhero

[@mcrump7421]

But in Call if Duty you throw it back....seriously tho. Kyle served as many others have. God bless US Armed Forces. PS..dont take your desk job at Bagrahm and start claiming PTSD and your BSM for service. You disservice people like Kyle.

[@neilperry2224]

Call me a cynical B’stard but a majority of wars are fought over religion, it like the English knights fighting the Islamic in the early part of our history, to the current HAMAS against Israel.

[@marionlacebal9498]

You've been trained and brainwashed to do that sir , nothing heroic about that! Thank you for your service anyway!

[@kenehlears7716]

I dont which is more breathtaking in your short statement;your arrogance about what you think you know or your vast ignorance about what you truly dont know
