Summary

Former FBI Assistant Director for Intelligence Kevin Brock discusses FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and comments on Director Wray’s seemingly lack of answers during the hearing, especially about if there was a FBI presence in the crowd on January 6th. Brocks says, while Director Wray seemed to have “answered that question twice and the first time around, he was a little bit more precise. [Wray] made a distinction between undercover agents, FBI agents acting undercover blending into the crowd in an undercover capacity. And informants, which the FBI refers to as confidential human sources. I can almost guarantee you there are confidential human sources in that crowd that have reported to the FBI because the FBI has excellent coverage when it comes to violent extremists, right wing ultra anti-government, white supremacist who foment violence and to preach violence, they they have excellent coverage against those groups.” Brock going on to say that, “undercover agents is a different animal. And when [Wray] answered later in the day, he was asked point blank, ‘can you tell us if there were any undercover agents at the January 6 protest?’ He says, ‘I don't know,’ And that's stunning. That, frankly, I found that less than credible, and if he doesn't know, that is a huge disservice to him as the Director of the FBI that he wouldn't know that. And I just find that hard to believe. So you're left with a impression that he is obfuscating there.”

0:00.0	Hello America and happy Wednesday. We've got a great show for you. We're going to talk
0:10.4	to former assistant director for intelligence at the FBI and our good friend Kevin Brock.
0:15.2	And then you know what's Wednesday? One of my favorite days of the week. Why? Because
0:18.6	it's A Mac Wednesday. Andy Manjone, he is the senior vice president for the grassroots
0:23.8	arm called A Mac action. So much to talk about. First, let's think of quick commercial
0:28.1	break. We'll be right back after these messages.
0:36.2	All right folks, welcome back from the commercial break. Big moment on Capitol Hill today,
0:40.8	Chris Raid testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. A lot of big issues that have the
0:45.2	American public concern. Congress concerned. The FBI concern. But the hearing I'm not sure
0:50.6	delivered the sort of results that Americans are maybe hoping they could get from it.
0:55.2	Joining us right now, one of the most trusted voices in all of the law enforcement
0:58.8	committee former assistant director for intelligence at the FBI and our good friend Kevin Brock.
1:03.4	Kevin, welcome back to the show. Well, thanks John. Great to be with you. Thanks for having me on.
1:07.3	Thank you. This was an important day. At least it was supposed to be an important day. As you look
1:12.0	out, give us a little referring and what went on in the hearing. Did we accomplish a lot in today's
1:16.3	discussion? Well, I think there was a missed opportunity on both sides in the questionnaires and
1:21.5	director Raid side as well. In the lead up to this, I think everybody was anticipating some real
1:27.0	fireworks. And there were a few. But I think I found myself talking to the screen saying,
1:35.0	ask him this question or talking to director Rae, Chris Raid saying, answered this way
1:41.9	and wanting to get more out of the exchanges. And so it was a little bit flatter than I thought it
1:50.8	was going to be. But there was some key points. And I think one of the things that probably
1:56.6	jumped out the most and a little bit of a missed opportunity on both sides. Obviously, the Republican
