In 1965 an unforgettable warning was broadcast for all to hear: 54 years later, it’s sadly come true

Paul Harvey’s 1965 broadcast “If I Were the Devil” has been shared for decades, but today, it feels almost unsettling in its accuracy. Hearing it now, it no longer sounds like a warning—it feels like a reflection.

In the broadcast, Harvey imagined what he would do if he were the Devil, determined not to destroy a nation by force, but by slowly corrupting it from within. He spoke of quiet whispers, shifting morals, and eroding faith. At the time, it was seen as dramatic radio commentary. Now, many see it as prophecy.

“If I were the Devil, I would whisper: ‘Do as you please.’
I’d tell the young that the Bible is a myth.
I’d convince them that man created God, instead of the other way around.
I’d take God out of the courthouse, the schoolhouse—
and even out of the churches.
I’d peddle drugs and alcohol freely, distract families,
divide them, weaken their resolve.
I’d teach people to pray, not to God—but to government.
I’d replace wisdom with pleasure, truth with opinion,
and call it freedom.
And I’d keep doing it…
until the world slipped quietly into my hands.”

When Paul Harvey delivered those words, it was 1965. No internet. No social media. No smartphones. Yet he spoke of a world where morality would be mocked, families would fracture, faith would fade, and comfort would replace conscience.

Listeners back then heard a clever monologue. Listeners today hear a mirror.

Some say it’s political. Others say it’s spiritual. But most agree—he saw something coming.


People don’t share this speech because it’s nostalgic.
They share it because it feels true.
