Paul Harvey, the iconic news commentator and radio pioneer, captivated millions of Americans with his unique delivery style, reaching over 24 million listeners at his peak. His words always carried weight, but no one could have predicted just how prophetic one of his speeches would become.
Today, when I reread his famous broadcast from 1965, I was struck by how eerily relevant it is to our present times.
The speech, titled “If I Were the Devil,” was first aired on April 3, 1965. In it, Harvey imagines what he would do if he were the Devil, detailing a cunning strategy to lead society astray. Sadly, many of the warnings he issued back then reflect the very struggles we face today.
EVERYONE should listen to this. Paul Harvey was alarmingly accurate 54 years ago.
In his fictional narrative, Harvey, as the Devil, outlines how he would whisper lies to people, corrupt young minds, and undermine moral foundations. He speaks of a world where values are flipped upside down, where faith is diminished, and materialism reigns. He envisions a society where chaos spreads through drugs, media, and weakening family bonds.
Listening to it again, it’s hard not to feel a chill as you realize how much of what he predicted has come to pass.
I grew up hearing Paul Harvey on the radio with my mom in the 1970s, and now, more than ever, his words seem to ring true. Everything he warned of 54 years ago seems to be happening now
Corey Comperatore Is The Man That Lost His Life At The Trump Rally. He Didn’t Deserve This
The 50-year-old was slain by the sharpshooter who made an attempt to kill Donald Trump. Corey Comperatore, a former volunteer fire chief from Pennsylvania, has been identified as the guy who was shot dead by a sniper during an attempt on US President Donald Trump’s life.
At a PA Trump event, Comperatore, 50, perished in the horrific tragedy while trying to protect his daughter.
The former president and two other individuals were hurt by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks before he was shot and killed by police.
Dawn Comperatore Schafer, Corey’s sister, revealed the heartbreaking news on Facebook and added, “My brother, Corey Comperatore, lost his life due to the PA Trump Rally.” The post was uploaded on Sunday.”The one man we loved the most was killed by our hatred for another man.”
Corey’s wife and daughter also talked about their memories of that day. Allyson, his daughter, recalled, “He protected my body from the bullet that was aimed at us.” He was devoted to his family. Her mother called her father “a real-life superhero,” saying, “He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us.”
“Yesterday, what turned out to be such an exciting day for my husband especially, turned into a nightmare for our family,” said Helen, his wife, in an expression of her sorrow. It is inexcusable what my darling girls had to see. That’s what I had to do. He passed away the hero he was always.
It will never be easy for those who knew and loved Corey Comperatore to forget his bravery or his devotion to his family.
His awful death is a sobering reminder of the futility of violence and the enduring power of a father’s love.
