The president of the United States, in the name of the congress, take pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Lance Corporal William "Kyle" Carpenter, United States Marine Corps, For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as an Automatic Rifleman with Company F, 2d Battalion, 9th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 1, 1st Marine Division (Forward), 1 Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), in Helmand Province, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom on 21 November 2010. Lance Corporal Carpenter was a member of a platoon-sized coalition force, comprised of two reinforced Marine squads partnered with an Afghan National Army squad. The platoon had established Patrol Base Dakota two days earlier in a small village in the Marjah District in order to disrupt enemy activity and provide security for the local Afghan population. Lance Corporal Carpenter and a fellow Marine were manning a rooftop security position on the perimeter of Patrol Base Dakota when the enemy initiated a daylight attack with hand grenades, one of which landed inside their sandbagged position. Without hesitation, and with complete disregard for his own safety, Lance Corporal Carpenter moved toward the grenade in an attempt to shield his fellow Marine from the deadly blast. When the grenade detonated, his body absorbed the brunt of the blast, severely wounding him, but saving the life of his fellow Marine. By his undaunted courage, bold fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of almost certain death, Lance Corporal Carpenter reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
“An enemy marksmanship award “ So horrible but so damn funny.
Never heard that one before…
What a line !!!
Kyle is one of those soft spoken guys that every time he opens his mouth you better be listening because something profound is about to be said. Guys like this are the backbone of not only the US military but, the country in general. I am extremely grateful he is on our side.
Amen
Amen to that
Love the positivity! Keep it up!
Amen
Fuck yeah! I concur doctor.
I love his outlook on life and his humility. What a dude 💪💪
1:34:53
To anyone reading this take a moment and pause at the time stamp.
During that pause take a second and let it really soak in what this man is about to say. He is about to tell you he uses his physical body as a shield to cover the blast of a grenade to prevent harm to his fellow Marine. This incredible act of bravery that needs to be appreciated and above all respected. Jus try and put yourself in his shoes. Imagine who you would dive on a grenade for. Family? Wife? Your child? This incredible human being did it for someone of no relation to him other than being one if his brothers in combat.
As an Uncle of a Marine, I cannot imagine the horror of what Kyle went through on my Nephew. I pray to god no one here has to go through that. Yes, this is the second time I have watched this, no, it isn't any better...
Brothers and sisters in arms are a completely different kind of family. A family forged in fire.
so much to learn from this young man
Whenever I feel like humanity is doomed I watch this specific podcast to remind me there might still be some hope.
Andy, this may have been your best podcast yet. Not just because Mr. Carpenter is the best of us, but also because of how you handled the interview. Well Done Andy.
His voice is so calm and relaxing for a guy that’s been through the amount of hell that he’s been through.... god bless you Kyle 🙏
Uh..TBI, its not a complimenting trait... jk man. I agree w you.
After what he went through, almost dying, he doesn't get upset about anything anymore.
Came here to make this comment. It's true talent to speak softly and have people hang on your words.
This young man is one squared away individual. Props to his Mom and Dad. It shows that he had some home raising.
Extremely Humble, very respectful
You should rename this episode
"Humble man meets an even more humble man"
It's so hard to get promoted in the Marine Corps infantry that Kyle had to jump on live ordnance just to get promoted to CPL.
hahhahahah duuuude i laughed so hard at this
Especially in WW2! 90% of those guys fought from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima and came back the same Private!
@@ryanbuckley5529 Meanwhile if you jumped into Normandy with the Army, you'd be a sergeant by the time Market Garden or the Ardennes rolled around
It was especially hard to get promoted as an 0311 in 2009 and parts of 2010
@@josephvega3763 you mean when that shit was in the 18 and 1900s or closed for months? I remember looking at other MOSes on MOL and thinking there's no way this MOS is in the 1400s!
Well, damn. I’m 52 years old and this kid has a groundedness I still haven’t achieved.
Good on you, Marine. Thank you for your service and extraordinary bravery.

No idea why given how casually Kyle said it, but when he shared that his mom cried and his dad told him he was proud of him after the President's call...I welled up. What an amazingly humble soul. I hope he lives a long, happy, and fulfilled life.
Did the same
Time stamp!
It was shockingly emotional, something so simple
What a great young American. I'm a retired Air Force E-7 and it would be my honor to salute Kyle. Thank you. I just ordered your book and am looking forward to it. You're what makes this country great despite half the country being asshats.
"What that moment meant to me, the USMC, and the rest of the world"
I'm sitting in my student apartment right now, on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, waiting to get my degree so I can join the army. Because of people like you. Real heroes. Thank you Mr. Carpenter, and God bless you.
This is a great conversation between two American heros...thank you, Andy and Kyle, for your selfless service to America....Semper Fi!
I followed my grandfather's example about the purple heart. He always called it "my I forgot to duck ribbon".
Listening to this guy is so humbling! He’s so young yet he speaks like a sage.
I don’t believe I have ever left a comment for the podcast before because my opinion is akin to a well-known exit. This is hands-down my favorite episode (and I served w/Travis Howze-much love, Brother). Kyle speaks truth from his heart. I don’t know if the Marines made me better, but I do know The United States Marine Corps is better because of Kyle Carpenter. His authenticity, candor, & humility is so unbelievably genuine & impressive. Semper Fi & Godspeed...
Man respect to you brother.
What a comment.
Kyle is an incredible human.
So humble, but I would love to see him at the gym or somewhere when he’s in beast mode. I bet he can get down. What a dude!!!
Another Kyle podcast, instant click.
Kyle is awesome, I love his outlook on life. I’m so happy he lived through all that shit, and I’m so happy he has his mind intact.
What a dude!! 🤘💪💪🤘
Mississippi born and raised, Kyle is our hero. What he's known for nationally, is horrific. But he's best known here for being the type of man we all hope our sons grow up to be.
Love to hear that, he’s a way better role model then good old Bret Farve…
Realty though. It’s just incredibly that he was able to run a marathon after all that. I’m just so happy that 1st he lived but second he still has his mind. Before listening to this I was hoping he didn’t suffer a bad tbi from the concussion of that grenade… what an incredible human!!!
Kyle describing what the Medal of Honor means to him gave me chills. His humbling description of his fellow soldiers and the Afghans, up most respect. Great Podcast as always!
I’ve listened to Carpenter every chance I get. he is a total inspiration. he seems to have gone out of his way to make sense of what happen to him. deal with it. then find a way to use it for every advantage he can get...not just for him, but for anyone who need to hear his story, military or not. he represents the best of the Marines and the USA. 🇺🇸
What a pleasant young man. The world would be a better place if we had a bunch more guys like this.
This youngster's light is absolutely blinding! What a special human being.
The world needs more people like him, definition of a great human being!
Amazing interview, I remember when Kyle got the Medal of Honor. That's the America I want the world to see men like him make us all better. Thank you
Forgive me for correcting your spelling sir, Medal, not metal. Although it sounds awesome a metal of honor :)
@@Sarge80 lol no worries thats autocorrect for you I know the difference just didn't notice it.
I don't know if this is the case, but the way Kyle describes things, it seems like the action of getting on top of that grenade to protect his buddy wasn't a conscious decision. Like his training was so ingrained, and his love of his comrades so instilled, that the primal part of the brain just took over for him. That impresses the shit out of me on top of the face value facts.
Respect to the entire process and personnel that went into designing the body armor, as well. A relatively small amount of human pressure is required in CPR to help re-start a heart, yet a fucking grenade detonation failed to stop Kyle's. Unreal.
Have a good week everyone
Podcasts like this I think attracts people like you, You have a great week!
No ... you guys have an awesome week!
@@suttercane129 this is the only thread on RUclips I will go into. Most of the people here aren't cock bags. That's what I love about it. Even his Instagram is pretty decent.
@@justinlake6604 for sure! Much less keyboard warriors which seems weird because if you go on other similar pages they are everywhere!
Justin Lake, Rainz, others. Feels like home, chatting. Thanks to all.
What a treat, Kyle is one magnificent man, hero, inspiration. Thank you Andy, good guest call
That was an amazing interview. Kyle is an inspiration. Best 3 hours I’ve spent on RUclips in a very long time.
I don't have words to describe how much I like this guy Kyle Carpenter.
He comes across as such a thoughtful,well rounded and humble guy. Gov bless Kyle . You are a motivation.
We may not be the greatest generation but BOTH of you guys are the best that our generation has to offer. You both are extraordinary men. My hats to you both. Keep spreading your message Kyle. Everyone needs to know your story. Thank you both and God bless America. 🇺🇸
First Warfighters will never die out, in any generation!
I was in Marjah Jan-Aug 2010, USMC. Semper Fi brother, you're a living inspiration to our entire Corps. Phenomenal interview!
I was there with 2/6 from early June and left on a helo on Christmas Day 2010. What unit were you with?
This was unexpected but i think we all highly appreciate it. Giving a voice to the heroes of the world!
The man looks like a bad ass personified! Thank you for your service.
Hey Kyle. I was at your MOH ceremony at 2nd Marine division in Virginia. It was funny to see you miss the general salute. You are a hero to us at 2nd MarDiv. Good to see you again.
"Thank you for your service" does little justice to both of you and and everyone that served, but it's the best words I can choose to express my gratitude. So, here it is: Thank you for your service. I hope to someday be a tenth of a man that you are.
Excellent interview, thank you so much for letting your guest talk without interruption. It was great to hear Kyle express himself in the most positive way.
He represents the best of the Corps and of America.
Sacrifice, love, and humility
Every time I hear Kyle speak on a pod cast I end up crying for a good reason. He is such an inspiration!
“Beautiful Obligation” Never have I heard a more succinct expression of grateful humbleness.🤘🏼 No one and I mean No One could have done this Conversation in the degree or been more impactful than you did Stumpf. Outstanding.
John 15:13: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.... Sheesh, this guy did that and lived to tell it. Kyle Carpenter is a truly honorable man.
YES!
Amen
Wow. This is one incredible, grounded, human being interviewed on this podcast.
Kyle is like a humanitarian trapped in a warrior's body remarkable
That recording at the beginning of the podcast is so awesome. We're looking at danger close, my man says come baby give it to me
god damn, that might have been the BEST Cleared Hot yet! wow....its going to take me days to unpack this and learn from it. Thank you both, keep up the great work!
How to pick the best parts of this epic podcast...?
1) Kyle's authentic humility and perspective
2) Discussion about service no matter where your at. Home, community, state, country. Give where you are.
3) "Under Siege" The documentary! Andy is a shameless bastard of the best sort. Never missing an opportunity for a laugh. Kyle got Stumpf'd!
Keep up the teir 1 content Andy. Much appreciated.
Holy snot! I honestly feel like I have just listened to a three hour conversation between Tony Stark, and Steve Rogers! I say that with nothing but love. It was an amazing story.
Andy, your guests keep getting better and better.
Kyles outlook on life is a lesson we all need to take home.
Tuesdays(down under) are always worth looking forward to.
"You have no control over what happens to you, but you have absolute control over how you percieve it."
These are words to live by. Daily.
Just an AWESOME dude, humble, quietly spoken. When life gets tough remember this young man.
1:19:40 was by far the most emotional time for me. I have been deployed overseas as a DOD Civilian Contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan with Iraq beig the toughest. But I was never on the front line like this hero. I was on FOB's that was rentless attacked. I had been knocked out by concussion from a projectile and didn't wake until hours later. This moment made me a balling mess to hear from him. Wow. What a hero. God bless him.
This is by far the best podcast guest that you have had on to date. Kyle truly represents the CMH, The Marine Corps, the veteran community, and all of us proud Americans 🇺🇸!
Andy. Possibly consider having Pat McNamara on your podcast. Thanks for consistently putting out great content!
GREAT interview, Mr Stumpf! Since I've heard about Kyle and read his book (which left me in tears repeatedly!), I have an even deeper and profound respect for those who have served. If I were to ever meet Kyle, I wouldn't even know how to greet him: a firm handshake or a warm embrace? No words would express my sincerest gratitude for his service to protect our country!
What a humble guy. So glad he's still with us.
this man took a grenade to the chest... wow... im lost for words... what a guy
There was a British marine who did the same thing and jumped on a grenade he ended up saving 5 lives.we are lucky to have such selfless people serving us and our countries, i miss the brotherhood every day godbless them all.
listen to this at + 1.25 speed. This young Marine has paid in so many ways. His story after the fact is the real story of heroism. Kyle define your legacy after the CMH you have the rest of your life Marine.
He is a remarkable human! A true light of positivity and so humble! Thanks for having him on Andy
I skip through the ads but I always listen to the Cleared Hot 🔥 intro. It gets the people going!
One of my favorite interviews. Watched many times. Two badasses having a chat.
I started to watch this (shot in the dark as I do not have exact amounts of time) 2 years ago and bumped into a short so reopened the actual video to make time and watch, fantastic content!
What an incredibly humble HERO Kyle is...not because of his obvious service, belief in his country and it’s hopeful cause but also his CMOH award, but most importantly his ridiculous humbleness & soft spoken demeanor when he describes the humanistic outlook and positive perseverance, perspective & wisdom that only a human that has endured and reflected on such a tremendous life so far & so well lived! May God Bless you Kyle and all of our ALL VOLUNTEER service members that have taken the oath and served past, present and future! AMEN
I wish I could meet Kyle. He is a true humble gentleman. Thank you both for your service.
Best podcast so far Andy. Kyle is such an inspirational man, a great American.
What an inspirational bloke, he's literally gone through hell but speaks so openly and honestly like it was just another day. Got blown up, recovered got on with life. Makes you realise that most hardships you encounter in life can be overcome with support and the right mindset.
Thanks Mr. Carpenter. Your story will help me live my life as long as i possibly can.
Thank you very much for touching on the support MOS’s & how we all work together.
Another outstanding podcast.
Thank you kyle.
Thank you Andy.
👍🇦🇺
This was the best. Thanks Andy. Thanks Kyle.
This honor was tailored made for this young man. So humble but also deserving. I wish him Kyle the best luck in whatever life has in store for him. Such a great interview Andy. Both you guys are unbelievably humble, talking about how EVERYONE that serves plays such a important part in the defense of this great country. I hope Andy has him on again soon.
And Kyle. I know you will carry that beautiful burden with your head held high for the rest of your life. I'm happy to know that you have the right attitude moving forward.
God bless you both and
God bless America. 🇺🇸
Two amazing people. Kyle and Andy are both inspirations. Thank you both for your service and sacrifice and moving beyond the hell of war.
These people deserve utmost respect and love. Both these men. Listening to this story is life changing. Thankyou for the uplifting spirits. Godless you guys.
What a top guy. So real, so brave. Awesome stuff, from New Zealand.
Salt of the Earth right there, continue to heal and tell your story.
Get him in contact with Rogan to keep spreading his story. So amazing.
Agreed!! Back when he did jocko's podcast, I wanted him on rogan
Rogan is a sheep
@EEuphoria seriously been watching joe religiously for over 4 years now and now he's gon all leftist. And keep in mind I'm not all democrats are bad republicans are good I think it's the politicians that are the problem not the people but democrats are definitely alot more stupid than republican people are from my experience
@Chris Martin Id say he was more centrist but leaning towards democrat me and euphoria are just saying he's jumped off to the deep end if Joe biden and antifa are 12 feet deep and ron Paul is like the kitty pool joes like 9 feet deep and that's not good and he sold out not saying it's a bad thing because I would've to but it's not like the guy wasn't already rich.
Not sure if he'd visit Joe's podcast. The fact that Andy and Kyle have a common past or let's say a similar one might have made it easier to get Kyle on the show.
This is exactly how to conduct an interview. Thank you for letting Kyle tell his story and for asking very thoughtful questions.
Damn, If we had a country filled with this young man we'd be right as rain. Good peoples. God Bless!!
I still cant remember him taking ANY credit for saving the other guys life. Heck of a man.
Another great show. I have to agree with both of y’all, a Veteran is a Veteran regardless of the job they had.
He has such a nice voice to listen too.
*too. Sorry.
I could listen to these convos all day every day!
Thanks Kyle For all our brother and sisters.
I liked this a lot because I first heard Kyle's story over a year ago on Jocko's podcast, and it was HEAVY. This was a lot more light-hearted. It was nice to hear him in a different time and context. Kyle is low-key funny.
Not being American I didn’t know who Kyle was.
I opened the video and was amazed for the next three hours.
Amazing
Man this one was inspiring. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up at least a couple times. Thank you both for this one ❤️
Wow didn't expect that from a guy named teddy bad boy haha.
@@amanwithouthope9475
I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s not my real name 😉😉
A couple? Damn your lucky, I teared up a shit ton
This is no doubt one of the best of the best shows you have had Andy. Leave it to a marine!
I appreciate what you both said at the end about service. I did 7 years in the Marine Corps Reserves. I have struggled with feeling like I didn’t do enough and that because I wasn’t active duty and didn’t deploy to combat that I’m not a ‘real’ Marine. At the end of the day my life situation and plans were far different when I joined but I knew I wanted to serve somehow and I still raised my hand and gave it my best shot.
It made my Monday so much better to see 3 hours of Andy and Kyle Carpenter pop up in my app
What a great guy! This is America...God Bless You Kyle, and Andy keep up the fantastic work. As a Navy veteran, thank you both for your service.
This man is such a hero. Thank you sir for your immense courage. And bravery. God bless you.
Took me three days to finish listening to this.....totally worth it. Thanks for bringing these stories and conversations to us Andy.
Thank you for this. It really helped hearing the part of veterans not going to combat. I was stuck in training units deploying and that was my biggest regret and guilt of serving but Kyle’s comment about doing your part helps a a ton. Thank you Andy and and thank you Kyle! Semper Fi brother!!
I like these podcast with conventional Marines/Soldiers. It’s almost a different war. High speed guys infil hit their target and exfil. Conventional guys live in that shit everyday. Going on patrols every couple days and your cop getting hit almost daily. It’s just a different fight. I’m not downing either side. I got love for all my brother. It’s just nice hearing conventional guys.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down. One of the greatest episodes to date.
Great podcast Andy! Kyle’s story is truly incredible.
Sat next to him on a flight. He’s amazing
So good! Thanks.
Kyle, come run an ultra marathon with me. Much more fun than a normal marathon! Great work guys. 🍻
Incredible story. Thank you.
Greater Love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends...God Bless you Kyle, Semper Fi.
Keep getting the message out! Great Show!
