In 1965, the legendary broadcaster Paul Harvey delivered a radio segment that at the time seemed like a clever piece of moral commentary—thought-provoking yet hypothetical. The segment, titled “If I Were the Devil,” was essentially a reflective thought experiment in which Harvey imagined how evil itself might systematically and subtly dismantle the moral and spiritual foundations of a society. It was broadcast to millions across America, many of whom heard it as a solemn warning. Yet now, more than six decades later, those very words resonate with an uncanny sense of prophecy.
