Context:
Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro still whining that trans woman who wants to ‘spank’ him made him feel scared
Breitbart.com editor Ben Shapiro is apparently still reeling from his humiliating
on-camera run-in with transgender Inside Edition reporter Zoey Tur.

Arguing is not implied (and one would say "in" the course of a camera "shoot") The locution "a run-in with" means an unpleasant encounter with someone. It might be an argument, but it might also be an encounter in which one was humiliated--which i suspect is the case here. In other contexts, it could also mean a violent encounter.
@Setanta,
Thanks.
I did think "over the course", not "on the course" in mind. I don't know what happened.
"Over the course" generally implies an extended period time, much longer than would be necessary to tape an interview. That's why i wrote "in the course of," because it is the best locution to use.
