      As we were talking, I asked if I could record the call. He said no. I was in front of a keyboard, though, furiously jotting down every word.

      Depends on the jurisdiction if you need two-party consent to record.

      Some states (California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington) have two-party consent laws, making it illegal to record a conversation without consent from all parties in the recording. At the very least, a recording w/o consent would be inadmissible in court, but it could also land you in prison (up to 5 years in Maryland and Massachusetts).

        What if you simply announce that you are recording and remind them they have the option to hang up if they don’t like it

          That’s the legal method to go about it, yes. So long as you make clear indication first that you’re recording, its all on the other end to make the choice to continue.

        Answer every call with “calls may be recorded for quality assistance purposes”. They can hang up.

        They have had cases of people recording the police that dropped the evidence after the police lied about that interaction to convict them, and the people catching the police in a lie by recording get charged with that felony charge.

          Recording police is different and usually considered protected by the first amendment as long as it is an on-duty officer and you are lawfully present in a public space.

            It’s protected until it isn’t. There are a great many examples of this happening. All quite rage inducing I can assure you, and going back decades.

    Santos is now offering 55% off his Cameo videos, meaning for $150, he will record himself saying just about anything.

    I wonder if you could pay him $150 to admit he threatened a reporter.

    What a sad, pathetic man. He’s like Trump: all lies and boasts and threats. Why not build something, do some good in the world…

    Really tempting to have him do some ‘Trump lost in 2020’ videos.
