the deal," and he read it. >> i have been involving dennis rodman -- >> so jim clapper, you saw dennis rodman as relevant? >> i do. he is a unique person since he has a relationship with both kim jong-un and with donald trump and obviously has great rapport with kim jong-un who is a basketball fanatic himself. so i think there is potential here to engage dennis rodman in a serious way in promoting this relationship. >> so we just found out that the person with trump is the division chief at the state department for interpreting, his interpreter. that sounds like a heavy title. does that mean that person has more portfolio than just language skills? >> perhaps. i hope the first criterion is expert fluency. that is most important to me than other hats that person wears. that person will be a witness to what went on and that is important. >> that is good to know. and you say the most important question that the president might ask is to say to kim jong-un tell me what you need so you don't have to have nuclear capabilities. >> to me, that would be the most important question to pose to ki

here's donald trump on dennis rodman. >> dennis rodman is traveling to north korea? >> no, he wasn't, but i like dennis. a great rebounder. when you think, dennis was great rebounder and wasn't relatively speaking that tall. that tells you. you know, there's a rebounding, there's a genius for that. dennis rodman was a great rebounder. >> reporter: so if height is part of the equation here, president trump will have an advantage over kim jong-un in his meetings but it is maybe not so much an advantage when it comes to secretary pompeo, who's a formidable person in his physical size. what he had to say when he was talking with reporters about what the expectations should be here for what is the most watched meeting that is yet to happen here in the world. >> president trump is going to this meeting with confidence. a positive attitude, and gerness for real progress. >> the president is fully prepared for the meeting tomorrow. i personally had the opportunity to make sure he's had a chance to hear lots of different voices all of the attendant opportunities and risks we h

neil: dennis rodman is in singapore so all should be well.ave said something different but i think that it should go fairly well but people should not expect so much the first time so like i said the door is open. neil: so what progress could we see dennis rodman is hopeful are others let's ask crtv host allie stuckey, cabot phillips. welcome to all of you. dennis rodman is optimistic but he's just cautious is that about the right posture to take? >> yeah, i'm not sure if dennis rodman is necessarily an expert on this but i do think it accurately reflects how most of us think even if you love president trump or hate president trump i think we have a reason to be a little bit cautious not just because we're talking about negotiating but also because president trump said he's going to wing this and go off script and be able to walk in and just feel whether or not this is going to be a good deal. there's reason for criticism but it's cautious optimism as well as of course all of us want denuclearization no matter what side of the aisle that we'r

trish: former nba star dennis rodman openly crying on tv from singapore following thatmeetingg betweensident trump and north korea's kim jong-un. dennis rodman got a little emotional there when he talked about president obama failing to take him seriously, and the death threats he got as a result this eccentric celebrity, shall we say, spent time with m jong-un through multiple visits through north korea, struck up friendship with the dictator's love of basketball. trump appeared with trump on his celebrity apprentice show. he has insight shall we say into both leaders, kim jong-un and ent trump. in an interview airing tonight on sean hannity, he talked about the failure of past administrations. get a preview here. >> administrations, don't want to get specific on that. they had a policy of silence f they said something very bad or horrible, just don't answer. that is not the answer. that is not what you have to do. trish: joining me right now is former reagan campaign director ed rollins. >> thank you. trish: you were just saying to me, he is kind of like the ambassador to north korea

now dennis rodman could attend. >> his client is considering traveling to singapore. rodman is not part of anything at the white house. the president will host shinzo abe at the white house today. he is someone who knows the president. he was fired by the president and knows of the north korean leader. that is interesting. >> reporter: dennis rodman, yes. his agent an hhas said we will what happens. the fact he is out there is dubious. i think this needs to be kept as a very serious issue which is why prime minister shinzo abe is in washington to meet with president trump at the white house. he has an hour and a half with him. this is the seventh meeting with them. this is a sense of desperation from the japanese to make sure the u.s. is on the same page as japan as far as concerns. japan has been living the story for the last 30 years. they have a healthy dose of cynici cynicism. they watched the nuclear weapons develop. they had north korea threaten to attack japan. abe wants trump to go into the meeting with kim next week with his eyes wide open. there is also a co
