and it turns out her name isn't joan after all. it's amanda.e want to show you a couple of photos here. side by side. her full name is amanda north. take a look at the photo. the professional photo is her from her linkedin profile and then just compare that to the photos of her that you see here helping erika at the marathon. you can certainly see it's the same woman. she's there in the yellow, but she has a very similar face, similar eyes. even you can tell that from the different angles. >> so who identified her and what do we know about her? >> reporter: well, she's from california. so erika did have that part right. but as you know, the explosion was so loud, they both had perforated eardrums and trouble hearing. so it's actually pretty understandable that erika thought the woman said her name was joan and the woman that she called joan thought erika's name actually was irene this whole time. but it was amanda, anderson, who identified herself first to us. she sent me an e-mail late last night. the subject line read simply "that's me." it t

erika thought she had said her name was joan.and she was from california. >> that's joan right there. and then she is holding my hand right there. and then this is my right leg. >> reporter: monday night after our story aired on "ac 360," we found erica's joan who we now know is amanda north. we arranged for her to fly from california to meet erika in baltimore, where she is in rehab. what did erika think when her mom told her the good news? >> she said do you want to meet joan tomorrow and i started crying. >> reporter: within 24 hours, the two were set to meet. >> i really just want to thank her for helping me and, you know, being there for me and holding my hand the whole time. >> reporter: are you nervous as we head inside here? >> i really am. it's a strange thing, because in a way she is a stranger to me. but when you share things like this, you feel like you've known someone your entire life so i'm looking forward to meeting her. but i'm a little nervous. >> reporter: moments later, raw emotion. >> oh, my god. look at you.

joan, your response to this.llowed to advocate their responsibility of father hood. >> i think she is suggesting that. i think she is saying that men who have sex and decide they don't want to take responsibility for whatever the outcome is should not have to. and i think, again, it is a little bit of a throw back. there's a little bit -- we are focussing on the rights of men. let's be concerned about the rights of men when we still haven't secured rights for women. >> i would like to know how many women have doesn'thave accidentd sex with them. and accidentally didn't wear a condom. when men do not use a condom and do not say to the women, i won't have sex with you without a condom, they are saying the birth control i choose is abortion. men who do not use condoms say i am wanting an abortion if i make a baby with you. >> tonight in a survey i asked you, is john boehner powerful enough to stop the tea party from blocking immigration reform? 7% of you say yes. 93% of you say no. coming up, the gop crazy machine.

joan, your view of that.air does not want somebody out there in the assembly to raise their voice on this. >> they don't want them to even talk about it. the crazy thing is he they had the votes. if scott walker signs that bill, some people talk about him as a 2016 guy, maybe not a morizing as rand paul or cruz, if he signs that bill, he will be governor ultra-sound and never be president. >> you're talking to me, aren't you, joan? because i was talking up scott walker as a compromise. >> i heard that. >> as always, that's who you're talking to, me. >> i'm always talking to you. >> thanks for the education. thank you both for coming on. >>> up next, last year more whites died in america than were born. what that means for our politics when we return. this is "hardball," the place for politics. m? ♪ now you can give yourself a kick in the rear! v8 v-fusion plus energy. natural energy from green tea plus fruits and veggies. need a little kick? ooh! could've had a v8. in the juice aisle. need a little kick? you

but, joan, there's a pattern here. it's like bill maher says, new rules. >> oh, you know. >> there are new rules for this guy. i'm sorry, if another president said, i'm going to fill some vacancies, they would say, it's about time. when he does it, barack obama does it, oh, he's packing the court. just like he's got an enemies list. none of this is true. they just say it. >> right. and chuck grassley and mitch mcconnell participated. they kept -- confirmed the 10th and 11th judge on that circuit under republican presidents. it was all fine to have 11 judges under republican presidents because he's going to get to appoint three people, four people, he deserves to, that is somehow extraconstitutional. we do see this time and again. there are new rules for this president. but, you know, there is that right wing that's going to resonate to this language, but there's the rest of the american people. what i'm really happy about is that he's talking over their heads. call it court packing, you lunatics, i don't care. i'm doin

helping her from the "boston globe." >> that's joan right there.ding my hand right there. this is my right leg. >> reporter: in all, erica had 11 surgeries. each time she would be wheeled down this hallway and through those doors. she soon learned the entire wing of the hospital back there had been shut down because that's where the surviving bombing suspect, dzhokhar tsarnaev, was being held. she started to have nightmares about him, nightmares that he was going to blow up the hospital, so she met with the fbi who assured her that he was going to do nothing of that sort, that he would never hurt her again. erica had some brighter moments, too, like a visit from actor kevin spacey and some girl time with her mom, who didn't even know erica was alive until hours after the bombing. >> we have been hanging out a lot. >> reporter: but what's really kept erica going is the preschool class she teaches back home in maryland. this little girl made her a video on youtube with some help from mom. >> what did you want to tell her? >> i love you. >> what else

i want to start with you then to joan. it seems to me this president is always, i don't want to say behind me, because i'm always excited. maybe i'm excitable. and he's one of these cool characters that slowly gets to where you want him to be like beating hillary back in 2008. i thought he gave her a 20-point lead was enough of a lead. >> i'm just getting over my -- >> so now he's getting -- he does tend to come through on the clutch, like lose the first debate to make it interesting like the nba playoffs but win the seventh game. okay? he's doing something now. i'm not sure it's more than tactics, though. he put in three people, two women. three people, who are probably progressives, as judges, i assume. he said in your face, buddies. i have three vacancies, you can call it court packing. that's my job. the d.c. circuit. then he picks two -- i think he's hard to read until she gets the job. the real person of susan rice, beliefs will let you know who they are. samantha power, i really like, maybe because she's irish. stro

joan, your view of that. somebody in that chair does not want somebody out there in the assembly to raise their voice on this. >> they don't want them to even talk about it. crazy thing is that they have the votes. he didn't need to be so histrionic about it. you know, if scott walker signs that bill, some people talk about him as a 2016 guy. maybe he's not as polarizing a person as rand paul or ted cruz, but still favorable on the right. if he signs that bill, he's be governor ultrasound and never be president. he may -- >> you're talking to me, aren't you? you're talking to me, aren't you, joan? i was talking about scott walker a couple days as ago as a compromise with christie. as always, that's who you're talking to me. >> i'm always talking to you. >> thanks for the education. jonathan capehart. thank you both for coming on. >>> up next, last year more whites died in america than were born. what that means for our politics when we return. and this is "hardball." the place for politics. why let constipati

joining me now joan walsh and former pennsylvania governor ed rendell. thank you both for your time tonight. >> thanks, reverend. >> governor, let me start with you. the president is talking about expanding rights while the gop is trying to roll back rights. don't republicans realize they're on the wrong side of history? >> well, patiently not. they talked about changing the message, but they have to change their values, rev. changing the message or the messenger doesn't matter. charlie, one of the last moderate republicans from the lehigh valley here in pennsylvania, charlie dent, he got it rite. he said the stupidity of this is simply staggering. he said he begged leadership, republican leadership not to bring to it the floor because job market is stagnant, the economy is hurting, and they're debating rape and abortion. and look, charlie dent is a good guy. but the democratic argument against charlie dent is sure charlie dent is a good guy. but he is going to vote for john boehner for speaker, and they'll control the agenda. so if you get rid of charli

joan, we're talking about that guy michael steele. do you think that moderate approach, do you think he might make a really good republican candidate for governor of maryland? >> he might. but he is going to have to come and talk to me about women's economic issues too, because these are women's economic issue. you have rick scott vetoing the paid sick leave bill. and then you have rick perry vetoing pay equity. so republicans are failing on the economic issues as well, michael. so let's talk. >> michael's a different breed i think a different breed of cat in this regard, aren't you, buddy? >> i am a different breed. this is why i'm here and not at the rnc. >> thank you so much michael steele, as he ponders his future. i just love teasing him. i have no idea what he is thinking. but i think he would be a fine public official. thank you, joan walsh. i am a voter in maryland. thank you michael steele. tomorrow, senator joe manchin of west virginia will join us. he is a gutsy guy defending himself against attacks by the nra after proposi

michael and joan, thank you both for your expertise on this. coming up, bipartisan immigration reform hanging by a thread. ask some house republicans and well, they want it dead. >> this is president obama's number one political agenda item. because he knows we will never again have a republican president. ever if amnesty goes into effect. i want peacocks. peacocks? walking the grounds. in tuscany. [ man ] her parents didn't expect her dreams to be so ambitious. italy? oh, that's not good. [ man ] by exploring their options, they learned that instead of going to italy, they could use a home equity loan to renovate their yard and have a beautiful wedding right here while possibly increasing the value of their home. you and roger could get married in our backyard. it's robert, dad.

. >> joan, let me start with you. is the gop stuck in 50 years ago?at kind of stuff that they were saying? it's unbelievable. this is 2013. >> i know. and the world is unraveling around us, mainly because of people like me and michelle. it's good to know. no, i men, remember. >> you should be home in the kitchen with an apron. >> we do that too sometimes, so, you know. remember, we talked about this last year when rush limbaugh and other republicans started saying that those bad democrats, those mean democrats, they created the gop war on women. there is no war on women. and then you have people like erick erickson and lou dobbs and sadly juan williams joining in blaming women for this change that 40% of all women are breadwinners, not looking at the factors in the economy driving that or the desire of women to work, which is perfectly great and perfectly wonderful for their families. so you have a president on the one hand who is trying to help those women in the workplace, and then you have these men on the other hand who are in full flight panic at

joining me today, benjamin wallace-wells, editor for salon.com and an msnbc political analyst, joan walsh. "washington post" columnist and an msnbc contributor, jonathan capehart. and josh sparrow is the new politics editor at "business insider." and as such, josh, i will go to you first on this. i think it is fairly outrageous as the long script probably indicated, that republicans are accusing the president of court packing when he's trying to just fill empty seats. >> sure and they've had to wait so long for the nominations to get through. but the person the president ought to be angry at is harry reid. the reason is the democrats have a majority in the senate. they ought to be able to confirm these nominees in a timely manner without input from the republicans. they can't do that because senate democrats decided they did not want to change the rules that govern the senate. they wanted to make tan the 60-throat threshold that gives republicans a veto power over everything, including judicial nominations. i'm honestly in general a little more sympathetic to obstruction on judicial nomin
