While attending Ethel Kennedy’s memorial service in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Joe Biden and Barack Obama got into a private discussion right in front of the cameras that has set social media abuzz.
Kennedy, 96, widow of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, passed away on Oct. 10.
Footage captured by C-Span shows Biden, Obama, and former president Bill Clinton all being escorted into the service and shown to their seats on the front row. None of their wives are in attendance.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul are seen coming in also.
However, it is still early, with no one seated yet in the chapel, as the crowd stands while waiting for the service to start.
Biden first appears to be in a daze, then Obama moves closer to speak with him. The only sound heard in the video footage is the church’s organ music. Exactly what Obama and Biden were discussing is anyone’s guess – and everyone IS guessing – but the conversation appears to take a serious turn.
At one point, Obama turns away, but Biden grabs his arm and the discussion resumes.
Video of the exchange has gone viral on social media, and speculation is swirling as to what the discussion was about.
Below is the original footage:
Until an official lip-reader comes forward to reveal what Obama and Biden were actually saying to each other, social media users are doing the next best thing – GUESSING – and it’s getting wild!
A few have also posted edited videos with AI-generated audio of what the discussion may have been about.

Here’s a hilarious AI-generated parody version of the conversation.
Biden asks if Kamala is doing ok, and Obama admits she’s not. Biden asks if he can get back in the race, and Obama rejects that idea.
Reminder: This is parody – the voices are not real – but it’s definitely worth a watch:

Biden: (frustrated, pacing) “We’re losing, man. This whole thing is slipping through our fingers.”
Obama: (leaning back, shaking his head) “You idiots… I told you so. You thought you had it all figured out, didn’t you?”
Biden: (sighing, rubbing his temples) “We thought the…

I clearly got the “Nope, it’s all done” but not the rest of it.

Joe, I am telling you now that you need to step down so Kamala can take over. We will buy you a new house and pardon Hunter.

Obama’s posture and crossed arms says a lot about the conversation and the superiority he feels over Biden.
Now you know who’s running the country . . . in plain sight.

Yet, here’s the two of them, at the funeral for the woman whose brother in law and husband were both assassinated, and these two criminals deny her son Secret Service protection. Not a heart, between the two of them.

Obama: “That Orange Guy is going to cook her, isn’t he?”
Joe: “Yeah, we know. Why did you guys commit a coup against me then?”
Obama: “You fall asleep every chance you get. It’s embarrassing us.”
Joe: “COME ONN, MANNNN.”

Bill appears to be eavesdropping and Nancy seems nervous, scattered and partially drunk. 🥴

He looks directly at the camera at this moment then turns away to cover his mouth while he speaks. He knows he’s busted. Any lip reading experts? pic.twitter.com/1LNjvWLj7N

Another person offered a serious speculation of what the discussion might be:
They’re well into planning the disruption phase of stopping Trump’s presidency. They will force him to use our National Guard and/or military to put down the riots that Antifa and BLM will be allowed to start before Trump’s inauguration. Then they’ll try to impeach him for it
