It's possible.
Projectile points from the European Solutrean Culture have been found in America. One at Cactus Hill in Virginia I believe, and another dredged up from the Chesapeake Bay. The folks that found them speculated that Solutreans followed the edges of the ice sheet to the north, hunting seals, until they ended up in America. The thing is, ice sheets don't just disappear over night, so if the route was known 20,000 years ago, continued commerce between the two would have adjusted their routes as the ice receded, and the route would be remembered over time.
It's substantially the same route used by Leif Erikson to find and settle Vinland a thousand years ago, long after the ice cap was gone.
Then there is the Bat Creek "runestone" from Tennessee. Rather than runes, the script appears to be Cananitic in origin. There have been other anomalous finds of a similar nature in the US over time.
So, it's not out of the question.
One place I have to question in the video is "the harbor for large ships" on an island off the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. To get to it, they would have had to bring their ship up the St Lawrence, and across the great Lakes. I have to wonder how they got "large ships" past the falls at Niagra in those days. Portaging a large ship, especially on the outward trip when it would presumably be laden with a cargo of copper, would be no mean feat.
Lake Superior is deep - almost a thousand feet - and has a reputation for eating ships. one wonders what might be found at the bottom of it.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
