Tonight's episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, repeats three hours later) includes but will not be limited to:

* Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst and Reason.com columnist Andrew Napolitano on his new book Suicide Pact: The Radical Expansion of Presidential Powers and the Lethal Threat to American Liberty.

* Everyone's favorite communist Jesse Myerson, on how our shiny new $18 trillion national debt ain't no big deal.

* Party Panelists Rick Ungar (Forbes columnist) and Amy Holmes (host on The Blaze) on Ferguson, the dreaded Cromnibus, and Bond villainy.

* Your cohosts, on various serious (and unserious) presidential candidates making news this week.

* Yours truly, on Attorney General Eric Holder's less-than-impressive calls to "end" racial profiling.

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.
