Andrew Kolvet’s recent remarks about the “3 Ms” Charlie Kirk championed cut through the noise and remind Americans what really builds strong communities: marriage, homeownership, and family. In an era when elites celebrate division and dependency, it’s refreshing to hear a seasoned conservative say plainly that stable families and the ability to own a home are not luxuries — they are the foundation of civic duty and upward mobility.
Kolvet made these points on national television and has been front and center in carrying Kirk’s mission forward as executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show and a spokesman for Turning Point USA. His insistence that young Americans should be able to buy a home is not just sentimental; it’s strategic — homeownership anchors families, encourages investment in neighborhoods, and breeds the kind of rooted citizenship the left pretends to value but undercuts with bad policy.
What Kolvet described is a direct rebuttal to decades of progressive mismanagement of housing policy and urban planning. Instead of handing out excuses, conservatives should be offering solutions: cut needless regulatory red tape, incentivize builders to produce family-sized homes, and repeal zoning rules that punish single-family ownership while enriching connected insiders. The American Dream was never meant to be rationed by bureaucrats or academics.
The response to Charlie Kirk’s passing — a tidal wave of students and volunteers lining up to start TPUSA chapters — shows there is hunger for these plainspoken values among young people. Kolvet himself has reported an extraordinary surge of inquiries and offers to help, proof that the right message still moves hearts and minds when it’s unapologetically pro-family and pro-homeownership.
Patriotism and policy go hand in hand: you can’t sustain a republic if a generation is priced out of buying a house, starting a family, and putting down roots. Conservatives should stop ceding cultural vocabulary to the left and instead defend the common-sense institutions that shelter liberty — marriage, mortgage, and motherhood — as pillars of a free society.
Kolvet’s call is also a challenge to elected Republicans: stop treating voters like spreadsheets and start passing pro-family, pro-homeowner policies that actually make houses affordable again. That means reforming permitting, expanding private market incentives, and cutting the tax and permit burdens that jack up the cost of building a house long before the first foundation is poured.
Young Americans deserve more than platitudes and virtue signaling. They deserve a pathway to a mortgage, a stable marriage if they choose it, and the dignity a home provides. Kolvet’s voice — and the surge behind Kirk’s movement — should be a wake-up call to every conservative leader who still believes America’s best days are ahead.
If we honor Charlie Kirk, we do it by fighting for the material conditions that create families and citizens, not by retreating into online outrage. Kolvet is doing the hard work of translating values into action; conservatives should follow suit, roll up their sleeves, and make homeownership and family formation affordable again for the next generation.
