It is clear that nomadic peoples from Asia came to the North American continent and their offspring built tremendous civilizations including the Aztecs and the Incas. The "new world" had already been discovered when the Puritans arrived at Plymouth Rock.

Or, if you want to take a different approach, it is clear the the Vikings were possibly the first Europeans to discover the new continent. They may have been "white" but they were not Christian. They were pagan.

But that said, this guy is a total doomsayer that isn't worth paying attention to. Move on....
