I believe he got that idea from the popular belief and statement that I often hear myself that 80% of Jews will die. Where do these people who say these things get it from? From the Midrashic source that says that 1/5 of Jews left Egypt (but then says other numbers as well- 1 in 50, 1 in 500! ) Soo because the first redemption supposidly had 1/5 only leave egypt they now preach that 1/5 will survive in the final "redemption".
Does that make solid sense? And also a very good way of telling Jews to keep Mitzvwoth in order to "survive" while the other 80% perish. Real Ahavat Yisrael right there.

I believe it is more than that... I believe there is a pasuk in Talmud about how many people may die in Gog UMagog...

I dont think soo. Not directly and nothing stated as fact either. Also their are the prophets and I believe it says 2/3rd of WORLD population (and I dont know if this is literal or what), but self-hating Jews like Bill Maher once mentioned it and said Jews! This is the sickness people are obsessed with how many Jews will die and not with what can be done NOT to have any Jews die.

Indeed, this is a very interesting subject.
