kimberly halkett is live from washington, d.c. what do we expect from this hearing?porter: the hearing just started just a moment ago, and already very heated -- a lot of emotional opening testimony, and we said that we will be hearing from the president of planned parenthood very shortly who is on the defensive, as you point out, because of the surfacing of those videos that allegedly show executives discussing the sale of fetal tissue. but planned parenthood has been at the heart of a wider budget battle that has been taking place in the u.s. congress. the argument over defense versus domestic spending. planned parenthood receives roughly $450 million a year in federal taxpayer funds, and there are many that feel that this is something that could be better spent here in the u.s. congress. they make the argument this violates many religious beliefs. the head of planned parenthood is going to take the argument that planned parenthood does a lot more than just conduct abortions. it's a very small portion of their business, and in fact what they are really doing is sup

kimberly halkett live for us. when, kimberly, are we likely to see the vote happen? >> if the white house has its way it's hopeful that the vote will not happen at all. it got the magic number it was looking for in terms of support 41 senators that have come up with this agreement. what does this mean? it means potentially those senators could use their clout and also some very arcane senate procedure to block a vote on this resolution. that's something that the white house is hopeful could happen because if there is, in fact, a debate in both chambers and both to pass the resolution, rejecting the agreement, then the president is in a very uncomfortable position 6 vetoing it. that's something that he mispromised to do. in the minds of many it undermines the agreement and puts into question whether or not it will be viable long term. that's why the white house press secretary josh earnest was doing what they have to do to cope this agreement from coming to a vote. >> we hope those who support the agreement to take the necessary steps in strong to revent congress from
