Tonight's live episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, repeats three hours later) begins with a couple of nail-biting Senate votes from this evening: The narrow defeat of an act legalizing the Keystone Pipeline, and of the National Security Agency-reforming USA Freedom Act. Joining to discuss are Party Panelists Charles W. Cooke (National Review) and Joe DeVito (comedian). The duo will also chew on the latest in Grubergate.

President Barack Obama is roiling the political waters by threatening massive executive action on immigration; on to chew over the wisdom and legality of that are Tamar Jacoby, president of ImmigrationWorks USA, and Timothy Sandefur, principal attorney of the Pacific Legal Foundation. Beloved Reason TV writer/producer Anthony L. Fisher will talk about the terrorist attacks in Jerusalem, the co-hosts will cogitate on Radley Balko's writing about how cops should prepare for potential riots. And we'll talk about China's weird hangups with The Hunger Games.

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.
