So, the person from the first video is effectively playing a game of "find the original cause". He's suggesting that, since an effect has to have a cause, and a choice is both effect and cause, the choice must have a cause. However, the cause must have a cause as well. So, using that logic, you can go in an unending chain of causes and effects until you reach the first cause.
This person is arguing that, since there is cause for your actions that you did not originally create, your actions are not your choice, but are rather predestined by the previous causes and effects that have acted upon you. It's honestly a pretty fancy way of saying "predestination".
Religion is frustrating

Hehe... that's the school I grew up out of (so to speak, since I was raised atheist). I still respect them for their commitment to the Word.
