joining us from our new york city studio, fox business anchor lou dobbs. so lou, very simply, so even i can understand it, how could facebook not pay any income tax? >> they did so by following the law. and the fact is that the law says that they can write off their losses of previous years before they went public and they went public last year and the biggest technology ipo in history. and that gave them the opportunity to earn $1.1 billion and write off those losses and as a result, get a $429 million refund. i know you're going to be thrilled with that. >> bill: all right. so let me try to clarify this. when facebook began, zuckerman, that's the guy? >> right. >> zuckerberg. >> bill: he gets all of these people to invest in his company. >> right. >> bill: but it doesn't make a profit, as most companies don't make a profit right off the bat. he's got to build an infrastructure and market his products. he's going to do whatever mark zuckerberg does. and so his accountants and they're pinheads, you know that. >> of course. >> bill: they are adding up all o

new york city. we wondered, why the difference. so we asked our senior correspondent, john miller, who is a former deputy commissioner of the new york city police department, to join us from new orleans tonight. john, why is new york city enjoying record-low violence when the violence is so high in chicago, philadelphia, or new orleans? >> reporter: well, you look at new orleans. there's a celebration going on around here. but part of the reality is, this is one of the cities that leads the nation in murder, and the disparity, according to a police executive research forum study that brought all the police chiefs together, was it's what happens to the arrests after they get to court. now, take new york. they have a three- to five-year mandatory minimum. that means that if a gun charge ends up in front of a judge, you're almost certain to go to jail for three years. in chicago, you've got a 50-50 chance that you're not going to do any jail time almost. 33% of those cases are dismissed outright. >> pelley: so if you're caught with a gun in new york, whether you have used it in a crime or not, you're going to jail for three to five years, but not in chicago. >> reporter: but

oz joining us live from new york city. good to you have with us?ly evidence. >> look, based on the study, can guys fallling into the category of not exercising a lot, being, say, couch potatoes increase the sperm count if they try to make changes and get to the gym? >> it shouldn't make a difference to get up and move around. the study is small and men who can are not active and watching tv is a good way of not being active and had some lower sperm counts. people had a lot of activity. i am talking 12 hours a week and they had higher sperm counts and that re-enforces the concept if you have activity in your life, you build up the hormones you need to make sure you have the best of everything in your life. >> and that is not about watching tv per say and that is the idea of not being static or games, being infro the of the computer all day and night? >> and that is about being sedentary. people who sit and work, their life expectancy drops by 11%. >> wow. >> and that is a important reality that many of us don't wake up to and we're designed to move

from the telecast. hope you stay tuned to those reports. >> big new mini series called the bible set to begin on sunday on the history channel. who created you? >> lord! >> and joining us now from new york city, the executive producers of the bible' downey and tv guy mark burnett. begin with you, is this a straight play on the scriptures you? are just interpreting the scriptures on the screen? >> listen, bringing the bible to the screen came with a huge responsibility and one that we took very seriously. we had a great team of and theologians helping us making sure that we told these stories accurately. and truthfully. i have been a believer my whole life and that was very very important to us. something else that we wanted to do was to make it really really cool. you know, we have teenagers at home and hard to get them radio-to-read anything and one of the goals here was to get this generation interested and excited about scripture. i think we have been able to achieve that. >> bill: when you say you are a believer, do you believe in the bible literally? do you believe that adam and eve were out there and the snake and the apple and all of that business? >> i do indeed. i believe the truth
