Anyone dealing with this administration in ANY capacity need to start recording all of their calls without notice. Recording consent laws are state-level, and most states only require you to know it is being recorded.
Would you rather have proof they threatened you? Or maybe a fine and/or minimal jail, assuming they can even find a jury to convict you for recording threats, AND that there isn’t an exception (several two-party consent States have exceptions that cover things like illegal activity, threats, etc).

The one-party state law applies to the person in the one-party state.
The two-party state might bitch and moan and claim otherwise, but guess what? It doesn’t have jurisdiction!
I am not a lawyer, but I live in a one party state and my friend had to record multiple calls for a reason to a company in a two party state and he still won handily and it never came up. Just anecdotal data.
