In this episode of Engage Arizona, Bob Trent speaks with Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson about the FTC’s investigation into potentially deceptive medical practices targeting children. Chairman Ferguson explains how federal law empowers the agency to protect consumers—especially parents and families—from misleading or incomplete health claims.

The discussion covers:
🔍 The FTC’s recent panel exposing the human cost of so-called “gender-affirming care”
📄 Testimony from detransitioners and parents who were not given full information
⚖️ Ongoing efforts by the DOJ and HHS to investigate clinics and enforce the law
🗣️ How the public can submit confidential information at ftc.gov

Ferguson emphasizes that claims like “Would you rather have a dead son or a live daughter?” are not backed by credible science—and may represent one of the most dangerous deceptions facing parents today.

What happens when over half of America’s children are raised outside of intact families—and why should Christians care? In this episode of Engage Arizona, Bob Trent sits down with Aaron Baer, President of Center for Christian Virtue (Ohio), for a wide-ranging conversation on marriage, education, and the collapse of cultural foundations. They discuss why the church—not the government—must take the lead in restoring marriage, how a new Family Structure Index ranks each state, and why Christian schools may be our best hope for turning the tide. From public policy to personal conviction, this conversation is a wake-up call for believers who want to see their communities thrive.

Join Peter Gentala, President of the Center for Arizona Policy, as he engages in a powerful conversation with Dr. Marcel van der Watt, President of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. With over 20 years of experience in fighting against sexual exploitation, Dr. van der Watt shares his unique journey from police investigator to academic leader. They explore the realities of human trafficking, the connection to pornography, and what men can do to combat these issues in society. Tune in for insights on advocacy, redemption, and the hope for a future free from exploitation.
