Tonight's live episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with re-airs three hours later) features yours truly in the hosting chair (Mary Katharine Ham will fill in for Kennedy), so this blog post will be bullet-pointy.

* Michael Weiss of The Interpreter will talk all things MH-17.

* Patrick Byrne of Overstock.com will trash the Federal Reserve.

* Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton will assess U.S. diplomatic efforts in the Israel-Hamas fight.

* The co-hosts will talk about the role that cigarette taxation had in the police choking-death of Eric Garner.

* Party Panelists Jimmy Failla (comedian) and Noelle Nikpour (columnist/GOP strategist) will talk about the immigration crisis, lefty humor, and nanny state shopping carts.
