About this listen

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.
