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 kim jong-un. and first

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

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 concern that trump is perhaps softening his tone with

before pompeo, dennis rodman, we believe, was the only u.s. citizen ever to have met with kim jong-un. ivan watson and kaitlan collins, guys, thank you so much, both reporting live from singapore. the stakes are very, very gh, but president trump says he'll know in the first minute or so if kim jong-un is really serious about these negotiations. listen to what the secretary of state mike pompeo said just a little while ago about the lengths the united states will go for a successful summit. >> we are prepared to take what will be security assurances that are different, unique, than have been provided -- that america has been willing to provide previously. we think this is both necessary and appropriate. >> joining us now to discuss various possibilities, the former senior adviser at the u.s. state department, now a visiting professor at georgetown university, balbina wang. balbina, thanks so much for joining us. what do you think the u.s. will be seeking in these talks? >> it's quite fascinating. this is one of the most remarkable meetings we'

dennis rodman was a great rebounder. one thing we are speaking about -- thinking about, speaking about sports stars. the power to pardon is a beautiful thing. you have to get it right. you have to get the right people. i am looking at muhammad ali. but those are the famous people. one way it's easier and people find it fascinating. but i want to do people that are unfairly treated like an alice where she comes out and there's something beautiful. what i am seeking to do, we have a lot of people in the nfl, in particular, but in sports leagues they're not proud enough to stand for our national anthem. i don't like that. what i'm going to do is i'm going to say to them, instead of talk -- it's all talk, talk, talk. we have a great country. you should stand for our national anthem. you shouldn't go in a locker room when our national anthem is played. i am going to ask all of those people to recommend to me, because that's what they're protesting. people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system. and i unde

stuart: the new york post quoting someone close to denise rodman, the post says rodman will be in singaporetrump-kim summit. liz peek is with us and has more on this. is this about the apprentice? >> apparently denise rodman, aka the worm, was on the celebrity apprentice a couple of times and has been to north korea five times, he knows both donald trump and kim jong un, he's positioning himself as someone who can bring them together. it is worth noting that north korea is so happy that madeline albright of all people took them a basketball signed by michael jordan, not this leader but his father as a sign of faith which resides in apparently prominent place in the capital city. so they really love basketball. i can't say really like denise rodman. stuart: my first reaction is this is a circus. could he be useful? liz: maybe. the post is claiming that rodman gave kim jong un the trump book art of the deal. who knows. >> maybe it's a humanizing element. ashley: right, whatever it takes. >> or dir cues, we -- circus, we will see. [laughter] stuart: this should be interesting. >> certainly. st
