Along with talking about Millennials interest in socialism, they discuss our next Short Course, &quot;Preparing for the 2020 Elections&quot; as well as our upcoming Wilberforce Weekend. They wrap up the show by noting the passing of Roger Scruton and Christopher Tolkien (the son of J. R. R. Tolkien), both men who were defenders and purveyors of beauty--transcendent beauty that lifts the human spirit, beauty &quot;that is grounded ultimately in the nature of God Himself who is beautiful, who is beauty itself.&quot; Resources:   Register for our next Short Course: Preparing for the 2020 Election Information on the 2020 Wilberforce Weekend \u201cWhy Beauty Matters,\u201d&amp;nbsp;by Roger Scruton (video)  \u201cGood Times for Planned Parenthood, So It Says\u201d&amp;nbsp;BreakPoint  \u201cUnfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth,\u201d&amp;nbsp;by J.R.R.
