joe. -joe t.: yep? lemonis: come here, bud.can't have a conversation with somebody without erupting, he's never gonna grow professionally. i told you when i came back for the opening that i was super proud of what you did... joe t.: thank you. lemonis: ...and that i felt like you did all the work. i don't think you ever felt like i didn't give you that credit. joe t.: no, of course. yeah. -lemonis: okay. -joe t.: okay. lemonis: the only thing that's missing is your ability to absorb information from other people. because i think it'll -- honestly, i think it'll help. it'll make people feel like they can approach you. joe t.: but i've never done business with anyone who feels that i'm unapproachable. i do well with relationships. lemonis: but let's assume that we can work on it. joe t.: but, yeah, as long as you don't stick your foot out to trip me, we'll keep moving, but don't try to trip me up. lemonis: but he may even do that. joe t.: then we're gonna go to war. lemonis: no, you don't have to go to war. what you have to do is

that is very, very close to the trader joe's and the parking lot for this trader joe's wraps around thatide. some of the windows that you may have seen people coming out of appears, at least from this side, to be off the half roof they have there or off the back side of the building altogether. it does look like there is a second floor there. it probably is used for employees. so there are lots of places for people to move to. just an extraordinarily heavy police presence. both the atf, alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, and fbi have offered their assistance and services to lapd. lapd does seem to have this in hand at the moment. starting at about 1:30 pacific time with a double shooting near usc, if the address is correct, there's a couple of different 32nd streets, this one is downtown, a 15, 20-minute drive from here. officers picked him up. that individual then crashed into a pole in front of this trader joe's. i'm looking across the street if i can see where that is. hard to see where that may have happened. but there is another large grocery store across the street from this trader jo

lisa: joe, what is your perspective? leveraged loans? joe: pro.na's point, there is more risk now historically, leverages higher. one thing about the high-yield bond market, of course a collection of individual stories. many of the leverage loan issuers that get covenant like status are high quality. you have to differentiate between what you can tolerate as a covenant light and what you cannot. lisa: you did bring up emerging markets, matt. you seem to suggest that could be an area where we see stress. right now, given the selloff we saw last month, are you starting to experiment, trickle in, or staying away from the area? matt: we think it is a time where you can find winners and losers. it has been a play that was overexposed to global trade, dollar strength and the like. but there are countries doing the right things. raising rates to defend their currencies. mexico, indonesia. those can play out differently than the turkeys of the world, who has an array of trouble from a political and financial crisis standpoint, and argentina. it is time to

joe, what do you think?oe: at the end of the cycle you always get distortions, not just in the high-yield market, or in the loan market, the investment grade market. the bbb component of that index has roughly doubled. for investors in passive vehicles, they may want to think, is the passive vehicles necessarily safer? we don't think indexes are necessarily safer. active management can move you away from some of these issuer concentrations. lisa: matt, where do you see the biggest distortion right now? matt: the corporate space. debt to gdp just from corporate issuance in the u.s. continues to rise and is beyond precrisis levels. that is different from the consumer-oriented space where debt to gdp in the consumer oriented space continues to fall. the consumer has grown the prior debt load. we would point to the ig credit space, bbb and em, where we would see potential dollar funding issues. those are the potential seeds of concern in the future. lisa: i want to get to leveraged loans. a lot of people have be

this is the closest that we have seen the police to this trader joe's. so they have moved that armored vehicle up to the front entrance of the trader joe's. you can see the heavily armed officers with their ballistics gear standing outside. it's tough to tell whether their guns are drawn but they're standing in what looks like a somewhat relaxed pose. art roderick, if you're still there -- >> i am. >> -- can we learn anything from the fact that he didn't shoot people on the way in? this is not someone on a rampage, someone who premeditated this or precalculated this. this is someone, i would imagine, especially since we know he's in his teens, is really freaking out right now, given what he knows about the police presence, which is probably much bigger. >> that is a big point, because he's not on a rampage and just, you know, killing people randomly. so what we know, and this is a big advantage with the hostage negotiators, they can use this actual motive for their purposes of trying to talk him out of this situation. now, when you're talking about the s

you have shooting in trader joe's. all that stuff's got to be put together now for the prosecutors because this is going to be a case that's going to be in the courts. it's not a deceased assailant. he's live and he's going to be put on trial. >> at the beginning we were looking at that area that's been set up as a triage. we understand now from knbc that two people were taken to that area to be treated. they had minor injuries. again a silver lining to this situation that had to be scary for the folks at the trader joe's. steve patterson, there's still the question of this other scene where this all started i think you said around 1:30 in the afternoon. do we know anything more about what happened there, the condition of the people who were involved with that initial scene? i would imagine there are detectives spread out all over l.a. right now. >> and as gym said, that's going to be the focus of the investigation moving forward. all resources i imagine will descend on that scene to figure out xa exactly happened, how

joe, one minor note.resident again, in his remarks that the electoral college spread wrong again. >> once again, at least he didn't bring up wisconsin for the 14th time. i do want to bring up, again, a lot of people say the president won't criticize vladimir putin because it undermines his election. again, just reminding people that were not with us at the top of the show, we had donald trump here in december of 2015, three months before the first republican primary, and he was still defending vladimir putin as a strong leader and justifying him murdering, assassinating journalists and assassinating political opponents saying well at least he gets things done. david ignatius, i wanted to -- so after watching the press conference yesterday, i did what i rarely do, i picked up the phone and i started calling friends get their reaction, because i don't like to talk politics with friends outside of -- outside of the show. i was so thrown off by what i saw i picked up the phone and called three friends and sai
