we'll see you soon thanks so much as always. >> thanks a lot. >> kara swisher from one market out west's get to seema mody with the european close >> hello, mike the selloff in europe continues. we're off the lows of the session. this is despite some up beat earnings from financials a big concern among investors is the negative impact of a stronger euro-zone currency. that's been weighing on stocks we did come back in the green for spain and france take a look at the euro, now trading at $1.1684, levels not seen since august of 2015. more than 50% of profits of european companies are made outside of the eu. the sector is most impacted according to analysts, autos, transports, and luxury these are sectors that rely heavily on foreign sales also just point out that exports out of europe account for about 25% of the nation's gross domestic product that's why a weaker dollar, stronger euro is significant and has prompted this discussion about the impact on earnings and growth the autos, big losers today. antitrust concerns, of course, not helping the story over there as well. let's also ta

we're here at post 9 with us to day is the executive editor kara swisher, a lot to cover with kara thisorning we'll start with amazon. continuing to expand its reach across industries. filing a trade mark for its own meal kit service this follows the company's purchase of whole foods last month. current leading meal kit provider is blue apron which cratered following the ipo and was down as much as 7% earlier this morning interesting, kara. this exercise of guessing what amazon's going to take on next has been going on for years. but how seriously do you give -- do you take this >> i mean it's not an enormous business i think, you know, they've been in the meals business for a while. they deliver other people's meals. they do all kinds of other things it's not a new new thing it will be another amazon branded service. and especially -- i mean, i think they've been delivering whole foods meals and things like that. so i think what it is is that these businesses are relatively small and they sort of need to be attached to a larger player a little bit like facebook does to snapchat just ta

. >> kara swisher is the journalist just about everyone in silicon valley speaks to. she's the executive editor of the news site recode, funded in part by nbc. she says the tech industry, which prides itself on doing things that are new, progressive, better has a side straight out of "mad men." >> i know they'd be happy to meet you. >> especially dan higgens. he loves the red heads. >> it's been an open secret for years. they call it "bro culture." >> what is bro culture? >> it's exactly what it sounds like. it sounds like a fraternity. it sounds like, you know, idiotic, juvenile behavior and that's all part of it. we're just boys having fun and being toxic at the same time. >> our group described bad behavior many women may find familiar. >> sexual innuendo, inappropriate jokes, leering. >> even asking for the meeting after 5:00 p.m. to have drinks. >> a compliment about your body that's a little -- off? >> sometimes it's a tone. >> last year a survey found 60% of women in tech had suffered unwanted sexual advances, most involving a male superior. they work in a cult

i did it with my great partner kara swisher who i know you also know, and where it stands, is like everything else in media, there is a lot of new competitors, a lot of competition. we just finished what i think was a very successful it regulation of our conference a couple of weeks ago. >> rose: you interviewed hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton was one of the interviews, and we had others. goes for about three days. and, you know, we just have to -- >> rose: people come to hear things or come to network? >> both. they do both. and we try to accommodate both. i think one of the changes, if you go back to 2003, is we were more -- there was still a lot of networking but we didn't build out the spaces for networking and the time for networking as well as we might have and now we do. now we have more of a balance between what goes on in stage and offstage. >> rose: virtual reality going to change the way we observe the world around us? >> i don't think so. i think virtual reality is a thing. i think some companies will make a lot of money off it. i think some people will spend a lot of money on

in an interview with kara swisher this con sal dags happening all over the country is not a positiverend. he adds, the trump white house and the republican party are "really slacking" in terms of asserting consumer protections ethan, i wonder, we've seen some notes from analysts the past few days on their list of risks, you know, where we could be wrong. usually that part of the note. anti-trust scrutiny of mega cap tech is making appearances more and more often >> yeah, well, europe is leading the way. they did a very thorough, i thought, a reasonable investigation of some of google's practices and so i think senator booker is right. the u.s. has not led in that area lately. i don't think there is any different under obama, frankly but we certainly could see more. we haven't seen any signals from this administration that they're planning to be particularly harsh other than some sort of off hand comments trump made about the at&t merger. so i wouldn't expect it. i'm not sure either what the theory, what the antitrust theory would be with respect to amazon either. they don't have a ma
