O boy that doesn't sounds good at all. You can upload videos here BTW. Is the battery new it sounds weak or the starter is bad. Here is a guide to help you test the battery.

The battery is about 2years now so I didnt think that was the problem. I have no idea about the age of tge starter motor. I had it towed to the nearest mechanic and they couldnt figure out the problem, but when I got it back they had taken a bunch of fuses and drained the coolant. It didnt sound like that at all before it was at the mechanic
