"There are all these books that try to do two things really," Reilly said. "One is [to] present Western culture as probably the worst culture in the history of the world, and the other is kind of take this sort of sneaky approach to that by saying like, 'and I bet you didn't know these facts, these hidden facts that they're not telling you in school.'"
