Mars and Neptune when they are nearest one another in the sky is not visible from North America. And not from South America either, nor from Europe or Africa. But from Asia, you'll be able to see it.

No, he didn't suggest that at all. Close planetary conjunctions are interesting to watch, and you can point them out without being an apocalypse-ist.
