Can I see a video where an actual agent says he wants a metal see thru fence as opposed to a 30 foot high 3 foot thick reinforced concrete wall with towers every 500 feet?

No video that I know of but it’s alluded to in articles. Here’s a couple but no direct name quoted.

One senior U.S. Border Patrol official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told CNN that its
crucial to be able to see through a border barrier. Im not calling it a wall because we are talking
about a fence that we can look through. Thats what we need.
Another senior U.S. Border Patrol official told CNN, I think fencing has worked for us in the past,
but you never want to have a barrier in place that will obstruct your vision, that prevents you from
seeing the other side of the border.

In his testimony, Kelly told lawmakers that the physical barrier may not necessarily be a concrete
wall. Border Patrol agents who serve along the 2,000-mile expanse have told the secretary they prefer
a barricade that enables them to see whats happening on the other side.
Mulvaney said there were extensive discussions in the oval office about what border agents wanted for a wall. I don’t believe he was lying.
