Veteran's Widow Speaks on Accountability

Well, with us in the audience tonight is, uh, Joey Amor, whose wife,

a, a US soldier, Master Sergeant Nicole Amor, was killed in

March in an Iranian airstrike. Uh, Joey, the floor is yours.

God bless you, Joey, and thank you for your service.

Thank you, sir.

And her.

Mr. Vice President, my wife, Master Sergeant Nicole Amor,

gave her life on March

1st, 2026.

I am damn proud of my wife-

As you should be

... and the five soldiers that stood next to her,

that died along with, alongside

with her.

Um...

Excuse me.

Take your time, man. Take your time.

They raised their right hand, and they gave an oath.

They understood what they were doing.

They understood the sacrifice that they were potentially giving.

You understand that oath.

I understand that oath.

There are now six families living in a nightmare.

There's-

It is ha- it is a hard price to pay.

Though the Iranian drone was the weapon that killed my wife,

there were a lot of mistakes and a lot of fundamental failures that

led up to that.

Um, I believe CBS has reported on that.

My wife has told me things before she passed.

There are other soldiers that know things that are

being quiet about certain aspects of this.

There's a failure in the leadership, and I wanna know

how this administration is gonna start holding those leaders

accountable for the actions and the deaths of the soldiers that we,

that we honor and that we love.

So Joey, first of all,

look,

I owe, and the whole country owes your family a

debt of gratitude

that is quite literally impossible to repay.

I won't pretend that anything that I say is gonna make it better

or easier,

but I hope it helps a little bit to know that your wife

was a precious human being who served her country honorably, and I'm

never gonna forget about her. And I'm never gonna forget this

conversation, and I

wanna continue this conversation offline because that raises the second

point.

When you talk about failures that were,

y- that we were implicated, the administration, the Department of War,

whoever you

wanna say, was implicated in, I wanna know about that stuff.

Because if there were failures, and I don't doubt that there were, I just,

this,

literally the first time I've heard of this is this conversation
