At the 5 min mark is where the emotion kicks in.
Below is the interview from 4 years ago where Cumo and Rodman get into an exchange starting at the 4:25 mark that is referenced in the video above
Starting around the 4:36 mark, Alex Jones issues an apology to Dennis Rodman. I have not seen all the video, but I assume Alex Jones is one of the reasons Rodman got death threats and had to go into hiding.

What's your point? What has changed? What was Dennis Rodman right about? It seems to me that he appreciates that President Trump gives him validity and doesn't write him off as so many have. But I don't think that's a good thing from either man's perspective. If Mr. Rodman ever came out against Trump, Trump would crap all over him like he has a hundred other times. Mr. Rodman, however, seems genuine in his appreciation for what he perceives as Trump's friendship. I hope he never has to see the other side of that friendship because, I really believe, that will be quite damaging to him.
As far as Rodman, he seems like an emotionally damaged person that cries at odd times. I hope he's got a very good therapist because, even considering his past behavior and addiction issues (including during his trips to North Korea), that doesn't strike me as normal. He may just be an extremely sensitive guy but it doesn't come off that way. Guys that made the trip with him have been vocal about their experience and it wasn't a good look.

The point is that Dennis Rodman believed that if the U.S. gave North Korea a meeting then both countries could start on a path to finding a common ground. In the video Dennis Rodman is crying as he remembers coming back to the U.S. and receiving death threats on his life and having to go into hiding for 30 days. Whether I agree with their political position or not I sympathize with anyone who receives threats on their life, especially in a case for Rodman where some people like Alex Jones was calling him a traitor to the U.S.A for taking a trip North Korea to play basketball.

It's just another day for Alex Jones. That's his stock in trade. Rodman is one of thousands. It's unfortunate but it's also true. And our current President is cool with Alex Jones. In fact, he attacks organizations like the NY Times but praises men like Alex Jones and Sean Hannity. You'd think if Trump and Rodman were such good friends, that would make an impression on the President. It, clearly, did not. I think there are larger issues than Mr. Rodman's tears both for the country and for Mr. Rodman.
