I know everyone wants to get industry back over here, and I agree with that, but I've seen the stories told by people who try to get things made in the US. Basically, you can't, for any amount of money. You are left with basically making it from scratch yourself, in house, or going overseas.
All the expertise is dead, retired, or so overbooked it may as well not even exist. That has to be built back up, from scratch.
The expertise exists but corporations refuse to hire Americans to do it, essentially. There are hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of independent people who are capable of doing these things but will never be hired because of the HR department refusing to hire them for relevant jobs.
So all the remaining corps that do things here are big budget huge outfits, typically highly specialized to specific clients' needs (e.g., military/weapons manufacturing).
Couple that with the ~100-150 million people who don't belong here leeching off of welfare pushing up the cost of living to astronomical levels, and you have the situation you see in these videos.
Edit: A good example of a counterpoint to the idea that these things are impossible is Valve's manufacturing of the Steam Deck, Steam Controller, and Valve Index headset. While I'm sure there are tons of components not made in the US for these, it still shows that the sort of high level manufacturing plants that can produce these sorts of products can in fact be done in the US, it's just that the will has to be there to do it and the capital.
Instead, the vast majority of that capital is shipped overseas or wasted on imported or extant welfare leeches, over $1trn per year. We're all literally being robbed of our current and future wealth and the wealth of our children, to the tune of tens of trillions of dollars.
