“There’s no doubt in my mind that I will have a very large voting power. Maybe it will be a huge landslide,” Geller said.
“If’ with my connections, which believe me I have, I’ll be able to reach some leaders in Iran and Syria, I’ll be able to advance peace very quickly,” He said, describing his connections as both political and spitual.
