This is a consequence also of eternal inflation, and Guth used almost identical language saying everything that can happen happens an infinite number of times.
The problem is to figure out what CAN happen. There tends to be a casual assumption that it's anything that can be imagined or anything that is not a logical contradiction. The former is vague (can you imagine that Puerto Rico exists?). The second can't be applied because the world is not a set of propositions. "Everything" is ill defined. Quantum mechanics is often cited as proving that everything happens, but this is a misunderstanding. QM also predicts that some things have zero probability...that's why there are dark bands in a Young's slits experiment.
