Whispers of war are coming as North Korea grows more desperate for power

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is "desperate" and prepared to use nuclear weapons against the US according to high level North Korean defector, Thae Yong Ho. Thae met with NBC's Lester Holt to reveal what he knows about plans for war the dictator might be making.

Just this week, North Korea launched a missile which crashed into the Sea of Japan, causing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to offer a terse and chilly response: "North Korea launched yet another intermediate range ballistic missile. The United States has spoken enough about North Korea, we have no further comment."

On "The Glenn Beck Program," Glenn Beck told of a meeting he had with a former CIA operative who indicated that the US was out of options when it came to avoiding a confrontation with North Korea and that we may engage in a first strike.

Stu Burguiere underscored the seriousness of the situation by reading a statement from a senior White House official: "The clock has now run out, all options are on the table."
