Ladies and gentlemen, it’s officially day 36 of coronavirus isolation.

As I always say, I don’t have coronavirus. I don’t want any of you to think that I do, but I’m required to be extra cautious because of health issues I have. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Given the stakes, I’ve now been home for 36 days, and I haven’t gone anywhere other than the grocery store to stock up on beer.

See, these are the sacrifices I’m willing to make in order to make sure the football season happens. I literally have not spoken to a woman face-to-face in more than a month.

That’s how committed to this fight. That’s how adamant I am about doing whatever is necessary to save college football.

While you are all isolating and still seeing your friends and significant other, I have chosen to give up relations with the gentler sex for more than a month.

Don’t call me a hero. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a sacrifice that’s necessary to save the soul of America. Doing what’s necessary isn’t a sacrifice.

It’s the bare minimum expectation.

So, keep that in mind next time you think about going outside and messing around with your boys for a few beers instead of socially distancing.

If I can give up female company to save football and make sure the Wisconsin Badgers have a shot at a title, then you can push back partying. Even on my birthday, I’m not going out to party! Props to me.

I see a lot of people who seem to think it’s not really a big deal if they don’t do their part in this war. That’s selfish, it’s not what America is about and it’s embarrassing.

I’ve now been isolating from coronavirus longer than we fought the Nazis during the Battle of the Bulge. Most men would have quit and broken protocol.

Luckily for all of you, I’m not most men. I’m David Hookstead – King in the North – and I will do my part to make sure we have the season.

If I can give up women and socializing for 36 days, I think you can stay indoors and do your part. Trust me, it’ll all be worth it to watch the Badgers dominate on the gridiron during football season.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
