Why Are Top U.S. Scientists Disappearing Or Dying?

Why Are Top U.S. Scientists Disappearing Or Dying?

Author: FOX News Radio April 22, 2026 Duration: 33:14
As questions mount over the mysterious disappearances and deaths among high-level researchers, national security concerns have been sparked, and the focus now shifts to whether or not these cases are directly linked to United States classified aerospace and weapons programs. Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison joins to discuss why the suspicious suicide of a former intelligence officer and the unexplained vanishing of researchers from NASA and the Los Alamos National Laboratory have prompted a formal request for an FBI investigation into the occurrences. As AI-driven layoffs hit major firms from Amazon to Meta, a growing sense of anxiety is taking hold of the American workforce. Recent headlines have even turned violent, with attacks targeting tech leaders and local officials, allegedly over job automation and data center fears. Futurist and author Jamie Metzl joins us to explain why he dismisses the idea of machines fully replacing people, advocating for a collaborative "human-plus-AI" model and a global moral framework to ensure this rapid transition remains a creative force rather than a destructive one. PLUS, commentary by Gregg Jarrett, FOX News legal analyst and commentator. PHOTO CREDIT: FOX NEWS Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
