Episode notes
Complex Truths Beat Binary Narratives
- Ben Shapiro argues reality can be messy: Alex Preddy both agitated at ICE operations and was later shot.
- Accepting complexity prevents polarization and more honest public debate.
Preddy’s January Confrontation Caught On Tape
- New video shows Alex Preddy on Jan 13 confronting federal agents, kicking a taillight and resisting arrest.
- He carried a gun that time but was not shot, showing prior confrontations with law enforcement.

- Prior aggressive behavior changes agents' threat perception during later encounters.
- That context matters for legal and public judgments but doesn't resolve moral questions alone.
