ugly. first the good. he was a villain in the ring but former w.w.e. superstar christmas terse is a bona fide hero. he rescued his mother from her burning home. he tore a tree out of the ground and then he tossed it through the window in order to rescue her. >> next the bad. nearly 100 sharks are spotted off the coast of a popular beach in australia. the sharks were spotted feeding on a group of fish and it caused the beach to shut down for a few hours. fortunately no one was hurt. finally the ugly, octomom is under investigation for welfare fraud. if it's true, she could end up going to prison. tmz is reporting someone filed a complaint saying she's getting food stamps even though she made nearly $200,000 last year. >> time for your brew on this question of the day responses earlier in the show we told you how cbs is making its workers -- c.v.s. is making its workers report its weight to them, we wanted to know would you reveal this information. bill writes they are paying for my insurance. they have the right to know what they're paying for. >> edward said private-industry employers need to stay out of their employees' personal business. thanks to everyone who responded. have a great day. >> "fox & friends" starts now. goodbye. >> good morning. today is thursday, march 2 1. i'm alison camerota. rockets fired into israel as the president visits the country. we're live at the scene of the attack. >>steve: you already pay their salaries and now you're paying their taxes as well. we're talking about the thousands of government federal employees dodging the i.r.s. should they be fired? we've got an update on that this morning. >>brian: you think a woman's cheating husband would get the message. after she uses a billboard for revenge. but the best part is how she paid for it. look at that. "fox & friends" starts right gnaw. >>steve: welcome to march madness live here on the "fox & friends" set. >>alisyn: good to be with you all. >>steve: the president is out of the country, 50-hour sprint in israel. we have a situation where a lot of you are saying it is so cold here, i can't wait for vacation. we have a great segment in about 20 minutes. we have the founders and c.e.o. of 14 sandals, three beaches. wouldn't they like to see alisoe just as a token. we might have a beaches bureau. >>alisyn: let's do it. i volunteer. let's talk about the middle east. the president is making his first trip to israel since becoming president and there's a lot of tension, including this attack with rockets fired across the border. >>steve: indeed. somewhere in gaza somebody was trying to make a statement. as you can see, luckily we don't believe anybody was seriously injured in the attack. nonetheless, it does send a message, hey, mr. president. we're the palestinians. we want you to pressure israel to help us out. we want our own state. it looks like in the last day or so you're on israel's side, even though in the past, going back to cairo in 2009, you looked like you were on our side but you did nothing. >>brian: working against the palestinians i think is the fact that they have not stopped the rocket attacks and have not figured out how to get a representative government that doesn't have hamas as its head. there has not been a legitimate effort on the palestinian side of late. many people are saying how do you expect to have peace? how do you expect to have a two-state solution if you have refused the option of talks for -- for the palestinians' perspective, they say can you stop building settlements and can we have at least half of jerusalem? israel goes no. >>alisyn: this has gone on for millenia. >>brian: it was covered in "the bible" series. >>alisyn: the president -- what's interesting about president obama is that neither side thinks he's on their side. and they have reason to believe that he has sort of vacillated between trying to figure out allegiances. here's what john sununu had to say about all of that on sean hannity. >> bill clinton went about trying to deal with the middle east question in a way that really began to make some progress. there was a balanced perspective. this president is clumsy. he says one thing on monday, changes his mind on tuesday and says a different thing on wednesday. and he doesn't understand that what that does is create a lack of trust. in foreign policy, the one thing i learned working with george herbert walker bush is that the most important thing in the world is for people to trust america and to have a feeling that america will be there in dealing with the national security issues. on both counts, this president obama has lost. >>steve: it is curious, because if you're just watching -- if you saw the president with netanyahu yesterday, you would think they're getting along great. in the past, for all intents and purposes, it seemed like they hated each other. the fact that b.b. netanyahu used to go to school with mitt romney, that didn't help things. but there is a quote today that apparently a senior israeli official said there was -- quote -- "a tacit agreement apparently between both leaders, if not coordination, to engage in a very intense public display of affection." >>alisyn: good. fantastic. if president obama's visit to israel helps them smooth over the tensions they had in the past and forge some sort of friendship, fantastic. even if they're faking it, sometimes that works. >>brian: would you be talking to alisyn if she wasn't on television? >>alisyn: exactly. >>steve: you were talking about having a beaches brew pwao*u row and i was -- a beaches pwaou roerbgs and i was thinking i'm going to talk to her. >>alisyn: let's get to your headlines to tell you what else is making news at this hour. there are two brand-new developments to help police catch the person who murdered the head of colorado's prison system. 58-year-old tom clemens answered his door at his home and he was shot in cold blood. here's the first clue. witnesses noticed a suspicious car parked one street away from his home before the shooting. the second clue? a woman was seen exercising in the area at the time and police hope she maybe saw something and that she will come forward. >> she's been described as wearing light pants, a dark wind breaker and also a hat. again, this is not a person of interest concerning the crime but rather someone we think may have made observations that could be valuable to us. >>alisyn: the car which we're told had dash board lights on while parked is described as a two-door 1990's model similar to a lincoln. >> private first class joshua martino of pennsylvania, lance corporal david fenn, lance corporate roger muchini, lance corporal joshua taylor, lance corporal aaron riperda, lance corporal william wild. lance corps wall william wild's father said it was his dream to serve his country. >> we said we support you 100%. there's always a little bit of fear. absolutely. when he went to afghanistan, where we scared? absolutely. that's what he wanted to do. that was his dream and he chased it. >>alisyn: use of the mortars and the tubes have been suspended while authorities investigate what went wrong. south korea's broadcasters and banks brought down by hackers. this morning new information that the attack originated from an i.p. address in china. it erases the likelihood that it came from north korea. >> the fed has been buying $85 billion worth of government and mortgage-backed securities to help bring down long-term investment rates. many economists believe that has helped prop up the housing market and to create jobs. those are your headlines. >>steve: without that, we probably wouldn't be in such good shape currently on the stock market. did you realize this? there are over 100,000 federal employees who are delinquent in their federal taxes to the tune of $1 billion-plus? and jason chavis, the republican from utah, says if you don't pay your taxes as a federal employee, you shouldn't be working for us. >> if you don't pay your federal tabulations, you should be fired. that's what the bill does. it says if you're trying to make whole on this, you're going through restitution, great, you're fine. but we have 107,000 current federal employees being paid by the taxpayers that have serious delinquent tax debt, and we have to fire those people if they refuse to pay their taxes. >>brian: right now we know the congressman put together a piece of legislation that should be passing -- should get through the house -- i imagine through committee and through the house, maybe up to the senate that says under the threat of being fired, you have to pay your taxes. this is an unbelievably embarrassing number of $1 billion and 100,000-plus federal employees. i expected there would not be much turbulence in the house. >>alisyn: you're right, brian, that it's hard to say, no, i support people not paying their taxes. so it should sail through. >>steve: apparently elijah cummings, the democrat from maryland, says this bill demonizes federal employees. we shouldn't do that. then he says it is hard to collect taxes from unemployed people. well, kind of. >>brian: is he filibustering? what does that mean? >>steve: he is from maryland and there are a lot of federal employees there. he says this will increase the cost to the taxpayers. he's coming down against the bill that would have the delinquent tax chief from the federal government pay their bill. >>alisyn: he makes a good point. it is hard to collect money from people who are unemployed. they should garnish their wages. they should keep them working and garnish their wages if they don't like this bill. >>brian: camerota not giving an inch. in theory, if these people do in fact exist, it is a problematic relationship, would you think? there is a wife, and there's a husband and there seems to be an angry wife and a cheating husband. >>alisyn: in greensboro, north carolina, apparently a wife named jennifer has taken out this billboard here. michael, g.p.s. tracker, $250. nigh -- nikon camera with zoom lens, $1600. catching my lying husband and buying this billboard with our investment account, priceless. p.s., tell jessica you're moving in. >>brian: a lot of people are saying this is fantastic. i wish i thought of that. by the way, is there really a michael? is there really a jessica? is there really a jennifer? >>steve: this ad was placed in greensboro on battle ground avenue. there are some, like me, who are thinking this is a marking ploy. if it is, i don't know what they're selling except maybe -- the only thing highlighted there is lying husbands. maybe this is the first in a series of things. maybe there is some jennifer who hooked up with a michael, who hooked up with a jessica, and this is all true. >>alisyn: one theory is that it's actually just a publicity stunt of the billboard sign company called outdoor signage to try to get more attention for their business. and if so, brilliant. >>brian: why don't we have jessica, being she's got to get ready because michael's moving in, call us or e-mail us and tell us how it's going. >>steve: apparently a fellow who works for the billboard company when asked for comment said can't comment on it right now. we asked the sponsor for a statement. if it's jennifer, it sounds like -- >>brian: i watched colombo in the 1970's, murder she wrote in the 1980's and nypd blue. >>alisyn: don't forget scooby doo. >>brian: i was able to put those clues together. sponsor? >>steve: what do you think? do you think this is the real ad from a real woman who has been scorned or just a publicity campaign? it has us talking at 12 minutes after 6 in the morning eastern time. >>brian: 15 of the september 11 hijackers came from saudi arabia. so why is our government about to make it easier for the saudis to enter the united states? >>alisyn: no honor for you. a school cancels its honor roll ceremony because it hurts the other kids' feelings. a parent of one of those honor roll students joins us live.
