America seems more divided than ever. But are we? Or are we BEING divided? Glenn reviews 3 recent examples that prove the Left is dividing America: Leftist filmmaker Michael Moore claimed that “white European-centric Christians” are the enemy of Israel, not Palestinians or radical Muslims; MSNBC heard from the authors of “White Rural Rage,” who branded white rural Americans as vastly racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, anti-democratic, white nationalist, and violent; and The View’s Whoopi Goldberg suggested that if the Supreme Court grants Trump presidential immunity, maybe Biden should lock up ALL Republicans. “They are painting half the country as the enemy,” Glenn says. But leftists are also starting to turn against their own. Glenn reviews a clip from Canada that shows just how radical some pro-Palestinian activists have become.

GLENN: So where are we, really? You know, when you're -- when you're looking to vote, what are you really voting for?
The Democrats have gone so far to the left. And the left is now in control of Canada, and much of the West
And the left, unfortunately, doesn't realize they're being used. They're being used. And when they figure this out, there's going to be hell to pay, for those who are using them. And right now, it is the corporate and political power in the West. It's the governments making these public/private partnerships.
And they're just using the left as useful idiots. And they have gone out of control.
We just showed you that they were going after AOC.
You can't -- how do you go left of AOC?
Well, they found a way. Now, here's Montreal. Montreal, there's a mob from the left, shouting at a Jewish center. Now, listen to this.
Okay. So they're shouting at the Jews to go back home. And they've got Palestinian flags. Well, wait a minute. Where should they go?
Germany? Russia? Where is their home?
That's the whole idea of the Jewish state. They have a home. But why should Palestinians be left in Canada, and Jews not?
Jews have to just stay in Israel?
There's no common sense thinking here at all. There's no logical thinking. Well, then you have Michael Moore. He says he knows who the enemy of the Palestinians and the Jews are.
Listen.
VOICE: What is the crime, because according to my knowledge of history, the enemies of Israel who have been persecuted. The Israelis. The Jewish people of this world have been persecuted for five thousands of individuals years. For the last 2,000 years, most of the persecution has come from white, European centric Christians. That's been your enemy.
No Palestinian helped to build Auschwitz. No Palestinian stood on the docks of New York City.
When boatloads of Jewish refugees tried to escape the Holocaust.
Came here to be protected by this country, and were turned away at the docks in New York, and sent back to Germany to die. No Palestinian did that.
No Palestinian ran the Spanish Inquisition.
GLENN: No. It's Democrats.
VOICE: Your enemy. Your enemy is not the Palestinian people. It is white, Christian, European people, who have been slaughtering Jews for the last 2,000 years.
GLENN: Like him?
Okay. Stop.
STU: What?
GLENN: First of all, we know history. We know history. But we also know that the Ottoman Empire and the Muslims have been against the Jews as well forever. This has and also, a lot more recent history too. It's not just we need to go back thousands of years. To find the Arab nations.
GLENN: Still going on in the ancient ways.
STU: I think it's well documented at this point. That there have been really bad stretches of white European anger versus Jews.
That's been pretty well covered. And, by the way, you know.
GLENN: And could happen again.
STU: Could happen again, at any point, as no one is dismissing it.
But I don't know. Just have lots of people who don't like them for whatever reason. They continually have to deal with unfair persecution.
And it doesn't matter which group you're talking about.
I keep. It's so fascinating how they keep acting like it's a genocide.
GLENN: Uh-huh.
STU: Right? Like, this is -- this is not how genocides look.
Genocides do not look like, you know, 3,000 people dying. If that's even --
GLENN: I just also want to point out, that, you know, he's saying, that -- it's the white people that are causing this genocide.
Well, now, wait a minute. Hang on just a second.
The Jews are going after Hamas. And so there are a lot of people tying, just like there always is in wars. There's a lot of people dying.
And it's horrible. It is horrible.
STU: Yeah. War is awful.
It's hell.
GLENN: However, all that has to happen is for one of the Arab states to open their borders and take them in.
He was saying, there was no Palestinian that was standing on the docks, you know, when the S.S. St. Louis came in.
And wanted -- no, you're right.
It was a Democrat. It was a Democrat.
It was FDR, that did that.
However, this time, as the Palestinians are trying to get out.
Egypt has closed its borders.
So I mean, who -- who is on the dock now?
STU: Big walls now.
Big, tall walls. All sorts of reasons you can't get through them. These borders are borders there.
GLENN: Okay. So there's another cut that I want to play. Some more threats to democracy.
Here is the author of a new book called White Rural Rage on Morning Joe MSNBC.
VOICE: Your new book out tomorrow is entitled white rural rage. The threat to American democracy.
VOICE: I mean, we lay out the fourfold inner connected threat that white voters post to the country.
First of all, and we show 30 polls and national studies that demonstrate this.
So we provide the receipts in chapter six.
They're the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, geo-demographic group in the country.
Second, they're the most conspiracy group. QAnon support and subscribers, election denialism, COVID denialism, and scientific skepticism. Obama birthism. Third, anti-democratic sentiments. They don't believe in an independent press, free speech.
They most likely said that the President should be able to back, unilaterally, without any checks from Congress or the courts or the bureaucracy. They also are the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalists.
And fourth, they're most likely to excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse.
GLENN: Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
So this is the narrative. And I didn't think it's disconnected. Just like, cookie monster says cookie is getting smaller.
Then the White House coming out and saying, cookie monster is right.
And we have to do something about it.
This is the same coordination.
They are painting half of the country, as an enemy.
In fact, here's Whoopi Goldberg.
VOICE: Well, the Supreme Court won't hear oral arguments until the end of April. Now, I just -- you know, let's look at a scenario where the Supreme Court says, yes. He has that. He has all those rights.
He's immune from everything. You know what Joe Biden could do?
Since he's presently president?
VOICE: What?
VOICE: He could throw every Republican in jail.
VOICE: Yeah.
VOICE: I mean, he could.
STU: That is -- that is one of the most fascinating clips of all time. And the radio does not do it justice.
Because this is not just her coming up with something off the top of her head.
This is prepared on a card for her.
She has prepared to say that she believes the president of the United States, can arrest every Republican.
Someone on her crew was like, oh, we fact-checked that one.
That's true. That's how this country works. What a dolt.
GLENN: So I just want to point out they can't be we have people shouting at ewes.
STU: Wow.
GLENN: Go home.
We have Michael Moore saying, the enemy is not Palestinians. But it's white Christians.
We have two authors pushing a narrative that is coming from the White House.
White rural voters are a threat to democracy.
We have Whoopi Goldberg saying, you can just throw Republicans in jail.
Which does not sound very democratic to me.
The president could just throw all the Republicans in jail. Hmm.
That's an interesting constitutional point? And then CNN wonders why.
Cut five.
VOICE: These latest poll numbers are not necessarily showing a lot of good news for the current president.
VOICE: No. It's showing a similar story that we've been seeing over the course of the last year.
He is losing ground with some key constituencies. Take a look on the screen here. You can see the New York Times polled there on the left, compared to the 2020 exit polls.
Now, one is a poll. And one is voters coming out of the voting booth, telling us what they did. But nonetheless, those under 30, Biden has a 12-point advantage in this poll. Well, it was twice that in the 2020 election.
Among female voters, Biden is tied with Trump in this New York Times poll this weekend. He had a 15-point advantage.
You see with black voters. He has a 43-point advantage. That's substantial. Except, in the 2020 election, it was a 75-point advantage.
Then if you look at non-white voters without a college degree, you see he's got a six-point advantage over Trump.
But that was a 46-point advantage in 2020.
GLENN: Hmm. Now, between what's happening in the world. What's happening at the grocery store.
What's happening with your job. And what the left is telling you, that we should put people in jail. Just because of the way they think.
Or that half the country, should be arrested.
Or they are domestic terrorists.
Gee. I -- I wonder what could be making those poll numbers go down?
