Pull the Red/brown hose off of the valve cover.
Run it and see if that is where the smoke is originating from, because in the video it sure look like blow by out of the hose.

if it is smoking like that from that hose what do you think it could be? I know i saw smoke coming out but I'm not sure it that was the only place it was originating from.

If it's just smoking like that out of the blow by tube, then it's rings.
But if it starts good, don't even mess with it, unless you want to do a complete motor rebuild. ;)
