Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly want you to 'explore the roots of Western civilization' on their spring break cruise
"Our faith, freedom, and values are under attack!" Glenn Beck insists, once again.
The only way to fight back? "Sharing your beliefs, your values, and everything you hold dearly" on this 14-day Mediterranean cruise with Beck, which he pushed out to followers of his conservative network The Blaze in an email on Friday.
You read that right. Beck is headed to Italy, Croatia, Greece, and Israel next spring, and for a starting price of $4,995 per person, you can come along. But "this isn’t just another eastern Mediterranean cruise, as wonderful as they are. This is WONDERFULLER," the cruise website ComeSailAway.com reads. After all, disgraced ex-Fox News host Bill O'Reilly will be onboard — not that his profile on ComeSailAway.com mentions Fox News in any way. Also onboard is David Barton, who describes himself as a bestselling author but who Vox calls a "fake historian."

This trip isn't about "indulging yourself," Beck says in a video on the website, though Italian food is "constantly at your beck and call," he continues without a hint of irony. Watch Beck makes a case for ditching Disney and bringing "your kids and grandkids" to "show them the history of our religion, of our faith, of freedom, of the republic," in the video below.
