Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani declared that money was "100% Satan" after filing for bankruptcy.
Giuliani made the proclamation during his Sunday WABC radio program with longtime girlfriend Maria Ryan.
While discussing U.S. immigration policy, Ryan suggested problems stemmed from money.
"It becomes about money," Ryan chimed in. "This is how I feel our government is. Like they look at money and we, you know the old adage, money is the root of all evil?"
"I believe that, and I believe they put money as their god," she remarked. "Money is now their god."
"100% Satan," Giuliani agreed.
"I believe it is good versus evil without oversimplifying everything," Ryan added. "It's money and power has become everything for them instead of the American citizens and the America as a country."
The remarks about money come after Giuliani was hit with $148 million in fines for defaming two election workers. He has declared bankruptcy and could owe as much as $500 million.
