Tonight The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, repeats three hours later) returns live to bring some sanity to a world gone bonkers. Ferguson kicks things off, appropriately, what with Charles Barkley going rogue, Rudy going Giuliani, Al Sharpton going to the White House, and President Barack Obama going to his pen. Joining to sort through it all are Party Panelists Michael Malice (hair club model) and Lachlan Markay (Washington Free Beacon staff writer).

Also on the show:

* Ex-CIA anger bear Mike Baker on the latest terror threats.

* Comedian Jimmy Failla on the problem of humor in the era of Ray Rice apology tours.

* Kmele Foster on the latest torture reports.

Online-only aftershow begins at foxbusiness.com/independents just after 10. Follow The Independents on Facebook at facebook.com/IndependentsFBN, follow on Twitter @ independentsFBN, hashtag us at #TheIndependents, and click on this page for more video of past segments.
