Tonight's episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, repeats three hours later) starts off with Party Panelists Katherine Mangu-Ward and Red Eye co-host Andy Levy, who will be chewing on most of the following topics: 1) President Barack Obama's public response today to the Veterans Administration health-care fiasco; 2) the number of people who claim disability in the United States reaching near 11 million; 3) former National Football League players suing the NFL for giving them unprescribed drugs; 4) alarming news that parents are naming their babies "Kale."

The great Yahoo News political reporter Chris Moody will join to make sense out of last night's election results. The co-hosts will talk about the comparatively muted (but no less righteous) #StandWithRand 2.0, and then vote on which statement was more ridonkulous—Rep. Joe Garcia (D-Fla.) saying that El Paso's low crime rate proves that "communism works," or Donna Brazile's recent Tweet saying:

"Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger. Imagine all the ppl sharing the world." John Lennon #RaiseTheWage
