Von der Leyen's statement about global governance refers to the EU joining the G20 forum for economic cooperation, not the creation of a new world order.
The reason that Rumpe says that this is the first year of global governance is because the EU isn't a member of the G8. Individual EU states are members, but the body itself is not. Conversely, the EU is a member of the G20. What Rumpe is saying is not that this is the first year of global governance, it's that the forum where international economic cooperation conversations happen is now the body that the EU, which he was just elected president of, is included in. This one, it sounds the closest to making Alex's point, but if you know a little bit about the situation and the context of what Rumpe is saying, this clip doesn't say what Alex is presenting it as saying at all. It's not talking about a new global government.
