Tonight's live episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with re-airs three hours later) begins with the news that the White House fence jumper from the other week went WAAYYYY further into ye olde presidential mansion than was originally reported by the Secret Service, probably because people are stupid liars and should be fired. Party Panelists Julie Roginsky (Fox News contributor) and Katie Pavlich (co-host, Outnumbered) will dissect, and then assess whether President Barack Obama unfairly threw his own intelligence agencies under the bus when it comes to the Islamic State. Later, the duo will weigh in on California's asinine new "Yes Means Yes" anti-rape law.

Was the beheading of a woman at a food plant in Oklahoma by a 30-year-old man who was busy trying to convert people to Islam an "act of terrorism," or an example of "workplace violence," or both/neither? The co-hosts will argue. How much money have school vouchers saved public school systems over the last two decades? It's a 10-figure number, says Robert C. Enlow of the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, which is releasing a brand new report on the topic. And speaking of educational de-control, you'll never guess which group of students and parents are being targeted by the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission as a response to the deadly rampage of Adam Lanza. I'll tell you all about it at the end of the program.

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