Paul Harvey, a legendary news commentator and radio pioneer, once reached over 24 million listeners with his iconic voice and sharp insights. Known for his accuracy, few could have imagined how prophetic his words from April 3, 1965, would become.
That day, he delivered his famous broadcast: “If I Were the Devil.” In it, he imagined how evil might slowly erode American values — whispering lies, corrupting morals, dismantling faith, and replacing truth with pleasure, convenience, and control.
He spoke of promoting vice, weakening families, undermining religion, glorifying crime, and replacing God with government. Over five decades later, many now see those words as an eerie reflection of today’s world.
I used to listen to Paul Harvey with my mom in the ’70s — and everything he warned about seems to be happening now.
Everyone should hear this. He was right.
