The video says (transcribed automatically):
The only culture and the only civilization in the world today who seems apologetic about its history and its achievements is the West. It is important for us to remind ourselves that we too are heirs to a great civilization that has done great things for humanity and for the world. That many of the things we take for granted in our everyday life, whether it's the size and wealth of our country, whether it's our democracy and our republic, they came from a shared history that we need to rediscover and embrace. We're doing that here in this country under President Trump. We want more Western. leaders to do the same.
