"politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. good evening, rev. \s. >>> good evening. thanks for tuning in. president obama is meeting with a key ally king abdullah of jordan, at the white house. just hours after isis released another video of a brutal execution, a jordanian pilot burned alive in this highly produced clip you can see the pilot wearing an orange jumpsuit and speaking into the camera. later he was locked in a cage and burned alive. the execution reportedly took place a month ago on january 3rd. this video shows the moment when the pilot's father heard of news of his son's execution. around the same time the president was saying that the execution will not slow the coalition's attacks on isis. >> i think we'll redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of a global coalition to make sure that they are degraded and ultimately defeated. it also just indicates the degree to which whatever ideology they're operating off of, it's bankrupt. >> king abdullah will return to jordan following tonight's meeting with president obama. jo

"politicsnation" with al sharpton starts right now. good evening, rev. >> good evening, ed and thanks to you for tuning in. i'm live tonight in chicago. tonight's lead if you thought republicans had a serious alternative over president obama's agenda think again. today, one of the top contenders former governor jeb bush went to detroit and gave what was supposed to be a major speech on the economy. but instead we heard the same old talking points attacking the safety net and slamming the president on ill interrogation. >> he's gone beyond his constitutional powers. that creates greater doubts as well. president obama likes to say, you play by the rules. but for president obama, one of the rules is this. he reserves the right to change the rules. instead of a safety net to cushion our occasional falls, they have built a spider web that traps people in perpetual dependence. >> the safety net traps people's independence? that's to attract voters who were mr. 47% in 2012? and there was another problem for governor bush today. a deep irony

whom they want to watch them and why they think that al sharpton buys them something.hing he doesn't buy them is credibility. and so they have, in essence, a double problem. now, they have al sharpton or chris matthews who -- i mean, this is -- they are clearly left of center and they're marketing themselves that way. but when it comes to a news anchor on the evening news, the standard has to be different. stuart: again, i won't throw you a curve. greece. i know you've reported extensively on this. not from the financial point of view, but the political point of view. as i understand it, the new prime minister of greece went right out there today right before -- right before he starts to negotiate with the germans about more money, he says, hey, we want reparations for the nazi occupation. isn't that a little provocative? >> right. he's doubling down on his, i've heard the voice of the people. austerity is enough. we deserve some help too. and we deserve it from the germans who still owe us money. it's literally a doubling down on the original positions he took during

>> yes, i think gloria allred is like the al sharpton of women. >> you can't get in the game unless therepeople. you are late to the game so you can't same gloria started this because she wasn't even around. >> well, what i would say even if one is lying or two are lying or three or ten percent, i round up to he did it because there is so much preponderance, so many stories and not much upside to claiming that you were victimized by one of the most powerful people in hollywood. >> haven't we seen rape victims come up like we have seen a reality show someone famous -- >> right, no merchandise opportunity here. >> what is the benefit? >> a sneaker deal. >> but don't you think a lot of this particular thing, they are not believing it because they kind of think he is really dr. huckstable. >> if his image was already america's perfect guy, dad, it is not like if you said oh, my god i heard the actor that chopped people's heads off. >> people will say well yeah i saw that coming. that guy. it is the image -- >> larry: what about his legacy. >> we are going do hard on cosby and we already act l

. >> i can think of some tax dead beats like al sharpton who still has his job and property.ent people, the people who least deserve it is getting tarringed. >> it's so wrong treating regular taxpayers like drug traffickers or terrorists. the problem is that the median amount seized is 34 grand and the amount amount for the legal cost to get it back is 20 k. law enforcement agencies are allowed to keep a portion of what they seize. so does the irs have a stake in the game, they've seizing this money and get to keep it for themselves at the agency. that's the question. >> is it not time to end this forfeiture law? >> you know, i sadly and reluctantly have to agree with bill until such time that we do have a radically simplified tax problem as steve add dates, the irs needs this power. there just should be a much higher barrier of probable cause. it's harder for police in the city to get a subpoena than for irs to seize property. >> but sabrina, look whose getting caught in the squeeze innocent businesspeople. in this case of this one guy, a veteran, the people who least deserv
