California Representative Kevin Kiley delivers a detailed House floor speech outlining what he describes as the largest taxpayer fraud scandal in U.S. history.
Kiley walks through how California’s unemployment system lost at least $32 billion during the pandemic years, citing warnings from federal agencies, findings from the California State Auditor, and testimony from county prosecutors. He argues that failures within the state’s Employment Development Department (EDD) allowed fraudulent claims to continue—even involving incarcerated individuals—and that billions of dollars in fraud persist today.
The speech also addresses accountability, criticism of the Gavin Newsom administration, and broader consequences for California, including crime, population decline, tax policy, and economic instability.
All remarks are from the U.S. House floor. No narration or edits have been added.
