I considered myself lucky to have heard his daily lunchtime radio broadcast as a member of my Dad's work crew when I was a kid/teenager. Everyone was quietly attentive while Paul was talking. "Good day" was our cue to stow our lunchboxes and strap on our tool belts. I didn't realize just how special that world was at the time, but now I'm aware, and grateful for having experienced it. Comparative to today the 70's and 80's were down right magical, at least from the perspective of my rural Midwestern upbringing. We didn't know how good we had it until after we'd been lured away from the simple things that gave life meaning. Convenience is the bane of human existence.

Paul Harvey's broadcasts were so prophetic when we listen to them today! He definitely was a forward thinker and had God in his life and his messages! The world lost a great, but humble man! The bottle at Christmas refers to drinking and celebrating without any mention of God! I'm so glad you get to experience what we heard everyday for years on the radio! God Bless!

Paul Harvey was a national treasure. You will not find anything he said on one of these broadcasts that turned out to be incorrect. He was brutally honest, consistent, and had amazing foresight.

Paul Harvey is hands down the greatest radio host to ever live. He basically invented the “let the words sink in” pauses. Every modern day radio host (Rush, Beck, Stern, etc…) has learned from Paul. He was the greatest storyteller since Mark Twain.

For example when I was in high school we had dress codes, our hair could not be longer than our shirt collars, our shirt tails had to be tucked in, no jeans and the girls had to wear dresses which could not be above the knee. Girls were not allowed to wear pants or shorts. By 1974, ten years after I graduated, all dress codes were gone and discipline in the schools had all but vanished. By then you were considered "square" if you didn't smoke pot. 10 years earlier you were considered square if you didn't smoke cigarettes.

Everyone stopped and I mean stopped talking, stopped doing what they were doing and just listened to the man, Paul Harvey. He was truth in plain radio which always kept us wanting more.

I grew up in the 60s 70s and I Always spent 2 hours on Sunday listening to him

I'm 72 y/o and I was raised on Paul Harvey on the radio. He is definitely one of the best men ever.

Thee means you. As a kid, when I realized thee meant you, I thought of thee being “old English,” lol. It’s definitely archaic but you would see it in old writings from authors like Shakespeare. Even from a marriage ceremony- “With this ring I thee wed.” “Shall I compare thee (I.e., you) to a summer’s day?” Or, “Hail, Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee…” The word thou (th - ow [as in how]) also means you.

I remember listening to him in high school and earlier. Things were beginning to deteriorate back then, but today insanity rules.

Thank you for reacting to this material. It helped me understand what the youth understands and doesn’t. “Thee” means “you.” “Square” means “lame” or “goody two-shoes.” The reference to eggs and Easter is the Easter Bunny and egg hunts for children instead of recognizing that day as Resurrection Day. The bottle in reference to Christmas is drunkenness. People viewing Christmas as a time to party and drink instead of celebrating the birth of Christ. Paul Harvey was not psychic or a time traveler. His words are not only applicable today, but they were most appropriate for 1965. The 60s were corrupt. It was a time of social upheaval - Vietnam, Feminism (abortion), Assassinations (JFK in 63 and MLK in 68), Communism and Communalism (Jonestown and the Manson Family), sexual immorality and liberation (The “swinging 60s”), sensationalizing murder in media (the rise of the serial killer, which later led to 200 active serial killers in the U.S.), drug addiction (psychedelics and hallucinogens), and this list can go on for paragraphs. The reason his speech is chillingly accurate is because the leaders of this country today are the youth of the 1960s. They are masters of chaos - they know how to fundamentally transform a nation. They’ve been chipping away at us for decades. They successfully destroyed the black family. They’re working on the white family now. Next, Latin. Is it the devil? Absolutely. These people are evil. They want to destroy you, your family, your culture, your country.

It is better to be reprimanded by those offered help they did not want than it is to be reproached by those needing help they did not receive. Speak truth for the benefit of those who seek it, and verily the reminder benefits the believer.

I think the tie between Christmas and a bottle, is the fact that it is common to receive or give a bottle of liquor for a gift. Amazing that it was 1965, describing sexual diseases with no cures, many years before the AIDs epidemic.

Hello there, first time watching. I am 60 years old. I remember Paul Harvey's name and I recognized his voice. Of course I was too young to understand what he was talking about. What he speaks of is the fruit of the plants who's seeds were being planted during those times. He saw what was inevitable and was brave enough to expose it. He caused my parents and their peers to stop and look around them. My parents were God fearing and taught me to be as well. My father spoke to me of his fears for our future. Now, today, I look around me and I'm scared for my grandchildren and their souls. My father could never have imagined the chaos. I wish I didn't happen. Yet, it's inevitable. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you and yours.

Paul Harvey was a godly man and was not afraid to admit it. Because of his faith, I believe God blessed him with great wisdom for our benefit.

When you read the comments section on any of Van's reaction vids, it really does feel like a FAMILY...an LFR Family. Love to all of you whom seek truth, honesty and peace.

“…The ripest apple on the tree, thee.” I wouldn’t stop until I had YOU. Having everyone else isn’t enough. This has been resonating with me so much lately with current events and, basically my lifetime of 48 years.

You know what is crazy,im in 9th grade but last year my Christian english teacher was the only teacher who taught us poetry and showed us this video that felt deep and personal, Its crazy because now i rewatched it and am here listening to commentary, i never thought of all of this Mindblower🤯

Happy Father's Day. Understanding the timeline and historical events would help clarify why Paul Harvey makes so much sense. The cultural revolution took place in the 60s. Any serious reader of the Bible would have seen what was to come as a result of the loosening of social morals. It's the age old warning of a slippery slope. You know, the thing they consider to be a fallacy.

In reality it isn't a fallacy but in academic circles it is today due to the copernian philosophy (that paul dealt within the bible) has invaded the Christian culture heavy today. Philosophy and psychology professors have twisted the learning field of logic. In the way rhetoric has two standards (one for absolute and another for generalities) one induction and the other deduction. They are both of different standards. The rules of fallacy for one isn't necessarily the same for the other but they apply it anyway.. because copernians believed (there are no absolutes and that happiness was the root of their purpose for living and their highest priority) So they blur the lines when teaching and do not respect the standard of absolutism in logic. We can all acknowledge we in sin are not capable of being absolute In ourselves but is arrogant for us to think it doesn't exist at all because we aren't the ones in that state. But they teach in a way that disregard the logic standards that are for absolutes. When studying through the field of logic one can the true state of man and the divide that cannot be crossed by man. Nothing except God himself can help its that big. Sry for the long winded explanation believe me I left so much out hahaha.. anyways (the wisdom of man) is easier to see in this field. As a result when logic and reason is corrupted.. good science gets corrupted too because it relies on the element for proper logic and reason in thesis and conclusion. Creating an effect of Simpsons paradox that exists in math and had been noted. When you see such a paradox. It means the premise or question asked has conflated two very similar things in perception. But rather admit guilt of making mistakes lol its considered a paradox. Okay imma stahp.

The Marxist Revolution took place in the early 1900's! The Free World has been fighting the Atheist Marxists ever since! Fighting the Germans in WWII was the biggest mistake that the West ever made! The Germans would have eradicated Communism in it's infancy! But the International Banking Cartel bought off the leaders of the Free World. England and France were fools to declare war on Germany!

I was 4 in 1965. I first heard this in the early 70s sometime. I am curious what a sixties teen thought when they first heard it.

Great breakdown. I loved listening to Paul Harvey as a child. I think when he says making the symbol of Christmas a bottle, means that people treat Christmas as an excuse to party instead of honoring the birth of Christ.

The Christmas bottle reference is alcohol. I was a child of the 70s and Paul Harvey played this certain times but in the 70s, ads were often wine, especially during Christmas.

My parents always listened to Paul Harvey! This one has always scared the crap out of me! And here it is to be the present truth! Scary truth! Glad to be with you through your journey of facts and truth! Happy Father's Day Van! God Bless!

I listen to Paul Harvey growing up, he had some very interesting insights into the ways of the world. I was 4 years old when this aired and he is so right about everything that is happening in the world today.

I heard this on the radio many many years ago. You need to react to more Paul Harvey stuff this guy was a national treasure.

The way Van says "some of us are" and "we are" gets me. Very few people speak of themselves as being a part of what they are talking about. He doesn't try to point a finger in any direction he just says "yeah we do that". My man's accountability for his mistakes and those of others is off the charts!

Thank you for sharingPaul Harve he was my favorite radio personality to listen to...there was so much to learn from him. Still is.

I remember, listening to that when it was first aired. Like so many of Paul Harvey’s commentaries, his words seem to be inspired by a higher power. They seem almost prophetic as I view the world today, I can see all of this has come to pass.

As a boomer whose formative years were during the 1960s and 70's this piece felt like a "clarion call", a shout from the prophet to a people that needed to hear the seeds of destruction were sprouting and the time to stop them was immediate. Seeing now the full and spreading growth of these weeds, I think I feel much like the prophet Jeremiah lamenting the destruction of Jerusalem. She was warned, but did not heed... But, perhaps if we pray, seek His face, turn from our wicked ways, He will heal our land. Your desire and effort to seek the truth is appreciated. May your children follow in your footsteps.

Was going to point out the fact that his aired in the 60's and 70's when drug use and promiscuous sex were taking place. But you have that one pretty well covered.

Paul Harvey is someone I came across back in the 90’s and every segment he did was always fascinating. His segments called “ The Rest of the Story” are all amazing too. I hope you find more.

I know that when he said this, it was around the time of the “hippy, free love” movement, so maybe he could see the writing on the wall… but it’s a little scary how accurate he was, even then 😢

Van, I think it is great that a thinking man like yourself has discovered the wisdom of Paul Harvey. I think it is a shame that he was gone too early for you to enjoy his daily broadcasts. By "thee" he means you and me.

The reason he was so accurate and seems like he could see the future is because all the things he mentioned were already starting to happen then. He was witnessing the very beginning of what we are dealing with today. He could see the future in a way because he was noticing these things back then and knew they would get worse. Also the bible gives us a pretty good description of how things will be near the end and Paul Harvey was a bible man no doubt.

My story is this “ I was listening to his beautiful voice and had to pull over with such pride in my heart ❤️ to be living in the greatest country in the world 🌎! I was crying so hard I couldn’t drive safely with my son in car! This was the moment I discovered how blessed we are to be living in America! Just saying to all please let’s unite and love one another. Help others open there eyes before we become a nation of puppets.

Paul was brilliant. Half the United States stopped whatever they were doing to listen to him. South Dakota farm girl can tell you I was one of them. He was wise warm and friendly. He told good happy stories too. Stories that were true and heartwarming. Sad you missed him. At the end of his broadcast, after he told you a story he would say and now for the rest of the story.... Then he would reveal who the story was about.

I listen to him everyday up until he died He was the best.

Oh, you always have to finish it. “Good day.” I am 47 and always listened to him. My husband is a farmer and I would take his lunch to him in the field and we would listen to Paul Harvey every weekday at noon. Really cool and enlightening stories.

And Now you know the rest of the story! I was lucky enough to hear him when he was on the radio, my Parents listened to him all the time. Thanks for reminder!

Your so right listen to Paul Harvey many of times when I was growing up. Leviticus 26:1 ‘You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God Amen

I so ĺove when someone younger discovers someone or somthing I loved in days gone-by. The excitement they show feels like I am reliving it again! (thee - YOU! YOU ARE NOT OVER-REACTING!) KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!

I was a boy when Paul Harvey was on the radio everyday. My mom worked as a crossing guard for the school, and we had to go with her and wait in the car until just before school started. Well, Paul Harvey was on the car radio, and we actually looked forward to his stories every day. I still use such Paul Harvey phrases such as "The Rest of The Story" and "Stay Tuned For Page 2."

When I was in 6th grade in 1972 my teacher would have us listen to Harvey's broadcast and then discuss what we had listened to as part of social studies hour. We have gone from that to the Education department grooming kids to be drag queens. Its my belief that The Lord has removed any blessing this country once enjoyed to discipline us for our out of control sin.
