It's a very colloquial phrasing meaning
With everything that's going on right now... [e.g. we really don't need any more trouble]
grad = gerade, jetzt
los ist von los sein, passieren

Adding to this, the dem comes from the das that refers to what happens, except it's in the dative case. das, was grad los ist -> bei dem, was grad los ist– clinchFeb 14, 2015 at 21:50
