>> welcome to "lunch money." we tie together the best stories and business news. here is what we have today. in energy, we're going to be looking at the economics of crude. our movie -- -- how to win an oscar. in motors, connecting flights. textron makes a deal. company chiefs are doing it differently from no marketing to know managers. the best of 2013, what better way to finish the show than with cars and tanks. we will kick it off with nation and a true and to the holiday season.

>> 1.3 americans -- 1.3 million americans will have their only steady income disappear completely. the emergency unemployment benefits and tomorrow. the date for the emergency unemployment compensation program. this is the program that has been lit -- renewed and renewed since 2008. it is trying to cushion the impact of the recession. >> this was extended unemployment benefits normally provided by the states. this has been renewed 11 times since then. it allows up to 73 weeks of benefit. >> is not just 1.3 million americans losing these benefits immediately. we are talking about over the course of next year, more out of work workers will fall out of the program. on budget and policy priorities estimates nearly 5 million people will eventually lose out if it is not renewed. will increaseber by 73,000 people on average

every week that we continue to block extension. and is both a moral outrage another congressionally conflicted blow to our economy and its unprecedented whenever unemployment levels have been as they are today. democratat -- the majority whip is not the only democrat upset here. >> because congress did not act, more than one million other constituents will lose a vital lifeline at christmas time reading a lot of job seekers without any source of income at all. i think we are a better country than that. we don't abandon each other when times are tough. >> this is so unconscionable. >> there are a lot of things that should be done but the first thing is to make sure those people that are waiting and waiting to find a job still get the important check that

they deserve. >> this is an intolerable situation to us but we also want nd and sequestration -- e sequestration. yes.o's don't make a to pass a butave -- a budget but here is a republican that rationale -- rationale. >> that they offered nothing to pay for which would've blown a hole in our deficits. a 13th extension of this emergency unemployment extension from the 2008 crisis -- we have a lot evidence showing it will prolong unemployment. our focus is getting people back to work. we want jobs and policies that help create jobs we don't have people going on unemployment in the first place. if the president has a plan, i will certainly look at it. i would argue his real focus ought to be creating a better

environment for our economy and creating more jobs for the american people. >> that is the bottom line. republicans don't want to add on these emergency benefits unless there is a way to pay for them. there is some good news here potentially. whenr up -- at a proposal lawmakers return, a four-year extension would cost $25 million -- $25 billion. >> we are going to be talking energy. crude awakening for oil. prices at -- are above that or above $100. take a look at this. twomiles above the earth, russian members of the international space station are having a spacewalk. they are installing two cameras on the exterior of the station.

it looks like we will get some good shots. that is the earth on the background. amazing. ♪ >> shift the lock. [indiscernible] ♪

>> this is "lunch money." i am adam johnson. abovee awakening, all $100 for the first time in two months. what about the impact on the mideast? syria is still an issue. --what happened with lebanon when you have this government official who was a casualty and a very big backer of the syrian insurgency. this is not a first bombing we have seen in lebanon. we will expect more in 2014 but if you want to watch the oil story -- that is where you can see it hitting the oil markets. >> good point. iraq is the eighth largest producer in the world and the ron is the seventh largest -- iran is the seventh largest.

any chance of a strike by israel? long as negotiations are ongoing, i don't think we will see a u.s. or israeli strike. the question is what if you don't get a final deal? what a iranian hardliners discovered a deal. what would happen with the expectations there do not materialize? >> a lot of moving parts. production has risen 50% in the past five years alone. we are second only to saudi arabia. that is one of the reasons why supplies are little less of a concern. had the same amount of disruption as we had in 2011. nearly 3 billion merrill -- barrels are off the market because of libya and problems in nigeria. the difference this time's around is north america. have a north

american story, we would have a much higher price environment. do we get another big producer go off-line? if we have problems in iraq, that will propel the higher price environment. north america alone cannot offset problems if we have the situation in iraq. >> how much you prices have to change board really to be a to american business or even consumers? a situation like 2011 where we are in the 120's ation, that is when the u.s. government starts talking about psr relations. i think everyone is going to watch for do we see something happening? right now north america can seemingly offset these problems. we are not in the low rice environment but we are still trading in a range.

ifwe get a good blowout, things get worse in iraq and nigeria, that is when we see it go higher. advocates are leaning on the keystone xl pipeline which will carry a lot of that oil produced in canada all the way down to the gulf coast. >> of the keystone xl pipeline is a 2000 mile final double pump oil from the canadian tar sands to the south refineries in the gulf coast. approved,eline is what does that mean for jobs? direct andate 42,000 indirect jobs nationwide during the building phase. 4000 our pipeline construction jobs. the pipeline is only expected to create 35 permanent jobs. as for oil profits, a recent report or cast a razor -- a razor thin profit for oil companies. the recent shale boom created a boom in united states dropping

down prices. but oil can make it to the gulf coast by the pipeline, it could reach a benchmark. stayed in canada, the projected benchmark is $69. not so fast -- that $20 premium does not mean big profits. canada's heavy crude is one of the most expensive to produce. it needs to get at least $65 a barrel to break even. and transport costs including extra lubricant needed to get through the pipeline. it drops to $5.50 a barrel in the next can market facts -- in the mexican market. owner of the proposed pipeline stand to lose a lot. the company is sunk $2.3 billion into the keystone project. alsother companies could be hurt.

the next best option is railroad. barrels ofd 50,000 oil every day is moved by train in canada and that is expected to increase by the end of 2014. rail is much pricier than the pipeline. that means rail investors like warren buffett could win big. the longer the pipeline gets pushed back, the higher the demand for rail. >> over half the respondents to the bloomberg national poll says they believe the pipeline would benefit u.s. energy security. season, and the weinstein company are experts at going for the gold. we will explain how they do it. we will take you behind the scenes of the biggest private collection of armed vehicles in the world. as we had to break, here is something i don't want to drive. an icebreaker to the rescue. dozens of scientists are

>> in movies now, all of the year's films have come out from under the christmas tree. we are talking about the oscars. the academy awards have been kind to the weinstein company. mandela is a top

contender. we caught up with mr. weinstein at the premiere and asked them how he does it year after year. >> for us the awards are a way of getting publicity to movies that deserve it. movies are going to open, comic book movies. i saw the new hunger games. it is really good. people will flock to that. i understand that, but it is a way of putting the light on films and maybe aren't as commercial as they say. i am telling you, i will put this movie up against any other movie. is actually more than mr. weinstein lets on. they explain how they do it and the competition and how they working behind the scenes. these oscar campaigns start months and months earlier at film festivals where these movies are screened and they start to compile these critical

acclaim's. hopefully, they get more claim right ahead of the marketing release of these films. then, critics in new york and l.a. report these films with even more praise which gets them recognition at the golden globes. it is this huge process. it is a marathon of the campaign. the weinstein's are probably the most successful at that. that is saying a lot. what they have been able to do is pick movies that have universal appeal and take those films and help them find an audience. some of these films go straight to video and yet with the weinstein's they are able to find an audience. like the artist, a silent movie in black-and-white and they found an audience and went on to win a best picture ochsner -- oscar. >> is this happening behind-the-scenes? ands the phone calls calling the right guys and

people to show up at parties. from the director to the screenwriter and then the big stars, they are all involved in the campaign process. it is a whole cast effort. >> did you think that not only are these people who really understand the film industry and what is going to resonate, a sort of have their finger on the pulse of news and what is current and what people are looking for? ,> and the released mandela they could not have time did better. they could have known that this man was going to pass. idris elba -- they did know he was ill but he gave a stunning performance. he is definitely in contention for some nomination. lee daniels the butler -- that is another film that is getting a lot of praise, maybe not so much at the golden globes. forest whitaker and oprah

winfrey are getting huge praise. you can definitely see them coming into the oscar picture as well. >> here is a movie that a lot of award nods. it stars judi dench and steve coogan. the film is based on a real story about a woman who sets off to find her child that you put up for adoption 50 years earlier. >> i wanted to tell it as a film. that was about four years ago and here we are today. it seems to be getting a lot of attention. >> did you always want to play the role of the investigative third -- journalist? >> i just wanted to produce it and get it made. i toyed with the idea of directing early on and then when judi dench came on board, i got cold feet. i didn't want to be pushing around a dame.

thought the way we were writing martin's character -- the way i had been writing his character, i put a lot of myself into it. it was a hybrid of martin and myself. if anybody could play this part, i thought i can. i knew if this film was not being produced by me, then i would be way down the casting list. i figured i would give the best part to myself as an early christmas present. >> you can watch the full interview on bloomberg.com or just go to our app. moviex revolutionized the business but not everybody in the business is happy about it. ken burns is big on the access to content that next at -- that netflix provides but he is not hot with how they share revenue. we caught up with him earlier

that that sends us into the future with any real confidence. now we are in a new area where the middleman reap the lion's share. he are too many middlemen getting too much stuff. netflix is going to make a deal largebs and we do get a share of that because we are the most-watched. it does not completely offset what the decline in the old hardcopy dvd sales represent. this suggests there is a coming struggle. getows united artists together as they did earlier on and say this is not working for us. that will be an interesting turn of events when the folks who are there are saying, this is not as good for us as it is for the people who are not doing anything except just pressing send.

f carts? i guess you need a way to ferry yourself back and forth. maybe a little vertical integration in the works. companies with no managers and no advertising -- how do they make it? we will talk to a few ceos doing things differently. why buy a car when you can buy a tank or at least for the day? you have to see this guy walking on the tarmac in phoenix international airport. cops say he climbed over a fence and started banging on the

engine of a southwest airlines plane. and appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. maybe another $10 million will get them to where they need to be in security at the airport. ♪

are looking at ceos who were doing things differently. we will start with johnny cupcakes. it has everything to do with school. they are global and have a great story. >> johnny cupcakes came out of nowhere in 2001. shirt when it -- a was in a band and i wore it to work appear.

you make the point -- i know you talk to one of our producers and you say managers communicate messages from top to bottom. i think that is a valuable thing to have. they settle disputes. they help people manage their careers. they keep their teams motivated and happy. good stuff. teams fromy field things that are very superfluous. how is this bad? what do you do in an organization when you don't have that? >> of those are all good things but the problem is most managers and up getting affected by the power and they end up micromanaging and not really serving their team. great managers are a servant. the trouble is it never really works out that way. we found a way where people can communicate, able to stay focused, able to stay coordinated without a person.

>> is there a financial incentive here? were you able to change the financial structure so that if they brought in clients, they got a greater portion of the revenue? >> no. what we found that people are tremendously motivated to do what they think is right. we give them complete power and we give them total control. we say, you are smart, you can figure this out. we give them very broad goals. you, you arered smart, we believe you can figure this out. they control it. >> empowering people, i like it. hours.os way after working, i play roller dobry -- roller derby. i love everything about it. i love the physicality and

aggression and competitiveness. i love my team. working together to win together -- winning is really fun. we are a site that connects -- connects communities to share goods. instead of buying a lawn mower, you can borrow one from your neighbor. most people like lending their stuff so it comes people helping each other. i did not expect it but playing roller derby has really taught me how to be an entrepreneur. you are constantly getting hit but you have to get back up and go again. it is the idea of perseverance. the separate little losses here and there and you just have to yet yourself up and keep going for the good of the business. female entrepreneurs have a set of unique challenges whether it is being underestimated by your peers or even just outnumbered by them. i work in technology and there are not many of us.

they are too confident or too aggressive to be seen as not lady like. we struggle with this. in roller jerry, you learn that being aggressive and confident is what makes you win. i think i will play until i cannot play anymore. i am proud what this sport means the women so i don't see any reason to stop. if roller skates are not fast enough -- a lambo so hot, it is not for sale. that is gorgeous. it is theow you how best of 2013. that is coming up next on "lunch money." look at this as we had to break. peru, thousands are gathering to watch competitors slug it out with their fits trying to use -- trying to settle public disputes. a lot of people are getting into the action. they got a few whip carrying
