Off hand I'd say it must be a decent sized leak. Imagine if you accidentally dumped a bottle of water, would you expect the entire Jeep to fog out?
Window seal, leaks through firewall and cowl are common. If your floor has holes...well that ain't good either. If the carpet is wet I would get it out or at least pull up some sections so you can see what's going on and of course fix the leak. If its the core bypass it now that spring is coming. If you leave the carpet in place at best it will get molded up and ruined at worst it hold moisture and rot out of your floor boards.

That heater core may be dumping water into your passenger side floorboard. That side heats up a little more because the exhaust runs right underneath it. The moisture evaporates and has nowhere to go. Then it hits the cooler glass and condenses on it. Fog!
As a stopgap measure until you can get it all fixed right, go by Home Depot and pick up a couple of these:

They'll suck up the extra moisture and help with the fogging.

I heard of a tip to keep the bathroom mirror from fogging up. Wash it with shaving cream. It might work on the windshield.

Yeah, it works great. I forgot about it. I actually used it my old CJ7 years ago. I'd get in it every morning to go to work & I'd have to get a towel & dry all of the windows on the inside. It was a huge pain.
