The White House recently had a hard time admitting that anti-Semitism is on the rise in America after Hamas' attack on Israel. Instead, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre claimed there were "no credible threats" against Jewish Americans and quickly switched the subject to "anti-Muslim hate." Well, Glenn brings the evidence that the White House can't seem to find. But he also urges Americans to wait for the facts to come out before jumping to conclusions like the Left does.

GLENN: So the White House had a hard time yesterday, saying, yeah, there's some anti-Semitism going up. And I think we've all seen it. But, again, the White House and the media, is expecting us just to not see it.
You cannot deny what your eyes see.
And what you hear. At least today. I may have to amend that, when AI is fully engaged, and we're -- we can't believe what we see or hear. But at this point, we can. And we see it in our own areas.
I -- I'm going to save this for later.
Boy, I want to tell you something really bad. I've seen it in my own neighborhood.
But it's got to stop. It's got to stop.
Now, there's been some headlines over the weekend. AP News. Detroit synagogue president, Samantha Woll, fatally stabbed.
Fox News: Michigan Jewish synagogue president, Samantha Woll, found dead outside of Detroit home. NBC: Detroit synagogue president found fatally stabbed outside her home. ABC News: Detroit synagogue president found stabbed to death outside her home. New York Times: Synagogue leader is killed in Detroit, but motive is not known.
Okay. I -- I find it a great coincidence, but the New York Times is the one that got this right. Here's what we know.
Saturday, 40-year-old Samantha Woll of Detroit, Michigan, was found dead outside of her home, with multiple stab wounds to her body, and a trail of blood leading back to her home. She was the president of the board of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue.
Their website said they are the only free-standing synagogue in the heart of downtown Detroit.
Outside of her prominent role of the Jewish community, she's also an active member of the Democratic Party. She worked on multiple campaigns, and an is an aide to the Democratic Congresswoman, Elissa Slotkin. As far as the murder goes, that's all we know.
Now, the murder is set on the backdrop of war on Israel and growing support of Hamas and their anti-Semitic mission, including here in America. And including huge anti-Semitic rallies in Dearborn.
It's happening on our college campuses all over in America. Jews are afraid of being targeted for their faith.
But we also know. Detroit has the third largest homicide rate per capita in the country.
Right now, there is no reported evidence that Samantha Woll was targeted because she was Jewish.
We don't know that. The police chief was asking, that no one jumps to conclusions yet.
Investigation is just getting started. No clear motivate at this time.
Even the Michigan office of the Anti-Defamation League, said, we urge the community to refrain from speculation. And allow law enforcement to gather facts. Online, there is a wave of people, laying this murder at the feet of congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. She's one of the most anti-Israel voices in Congress. And I am absolutely no fan of hers.
The murder seems to have been taking place in the congressional district, that numbers heard. Now, I don't like Rashida Tlaib. She's wrong about Israel. I think she's a massive anti-Semite. But that's all we have.
Can we blame her for awful ideas? Yes. Can we blame her for murder? No. We don't have any facts yet.
Here's the thing: Our job is to try to get the story right. And you cannot get the story right, if you are rushing to publish. I could easily come on the air, and play all the clips. That Tlaib is spreading the lies of Israel.
She is just spreading lie after lie after lie, against Israel.
And then I could tell you about the pro-Palestinian marches in Dearborn. Right next door.
Then tell you a Jewish woman was murdered.
I mean, it's pretty easy to paint that picture.
But that kind of picture, riles people up.
Into mobs. That's what the media does. If a black person is murdered, they find out if it's a white cop. If it's a white cop, they whip everybody up into their own conclusions.
Things might be getting more crazy.
But we have to keep our heads.
I'm horrified, that we even have to wonder, if this -- this woman who was killed in America, in an American city. I'm horrified that we have to even wonder, was it because she was Jewish? But anti-Semitism is a real threat.
And I'm afraid, it will get worse. Because it always does.
When Marxism begins to erode a country.
The threat is real!
We don't know about this murder.
Senseless and evil. That's all we know right now.
But we will follow this story. We have to remain clear-eyed and vigilant. We have to wait and see.
There is a tremendous increase now of the number of Jewish people, purchasing firearms, after the Hamas attack.
After the attack, a lot of people are purchasing firearms, and learning how to use them. That's tremendous.
That's the First Amendment. Protect yourself. I feel for this guy who -- who was it, that was there? Pat, it was a -- it was a guy running for city council, I believe.
That was one of the guys taking the videos.
PAT: Yeah. At the Palestinian. Uh-huh. His name is Zach. I don't know his last name.
We didn't find that out. But Zach something or other, who is running for city council position.
Yeah. And he was one of the guys, who was yelling to follow this guy. To find this guy.
Just an old man, who was trying to get home. And blocked by, you know, the Palestinian -- pro-Palestinian protests.
You know what, it's the street. That's where cars drive!
I -- it's not where people stand.
When did this become a thing, that it's okay to stand and block the streets?
I don't think it is okay, for example, and, but, yeah. This -- this council candidate thought it was. And he's trying to track the old man down. Who -- who was just trying to go about his business.
GLENN: There is a -- there is a great story out by Jonathan Turley today.
That talks about the poll numbers that are coming out.
37 percent of conservatives, think that it's okay to engage in violence. At this point.
Because the other side is so dangerous.
42 percent of Democrats, believe that.
That doesn't lead anywhere good.
PAT: Nope.
GLENN: Nowhere good.
You know, in my mind, there have been -- there are -- well, I've always described them as exits. You're passing all of the exits.
And when you pass that exit, you've shut down more options.
PAT: Uh-huh.
GLENN: And before we get there, there's -- there's like three things, that I have left on -- for me.
That I'm like, okay.
If this happens, then we do this.
If this happens, then we do this.
And we just take more and more steps, to protect the voice, to protect our families. And to protect you! To be able to speak to you, and protect you.
And things that I will be saying, I think more and new things.
That I have -- I've known for quite some time. But time is not right.
I always look at the star field.
Is the star field rolling faster or slower? And is it rolling away from common sense, or towards common sense?
The star field is still running away from common sense. And I fear that it is running faster, and this is going to come at us, quickly.
