This week we lost a true member of the Dukes of Hazzard family. Ben Jones, forever known to millions of fans as Cooter Davenport, has passed away. In his memory, we're stepping away from our regular format to revisit something we're incredibly grateful to have in the Kibbe & Friends archives: our full 2019 conversation with Ben himself. We originally spoke with Ben ahead of the 40th anniversary of The Dukes of Hazzard, and he was everything you'd hope he would be. Funny, candid, thoughtful, opinionated, and incredibly generous with his time. He told us how he landed the role of Cooter, how the character evolved, what those early Georgia episodes were really like, his memories of John Schneider, Tom Wopat, Denver Pyle, Sorrell Booke and the rest of the cast, and even his tiny role in Smokey and the Bandit. We also talked cars, Cooter's tow trucks, the incredible stunt work, the departure and return of Bo and Luke, and the lasting phenomenon of the General Lee. More than anything, Ben understood what The Dukes of Hazzard meant to its fans. He and his wife Alma spent decades keeping that community together through Cooter's Place, DukesFest and the enormous fan gatherings that brought generations of Dukes fans together. Ben once told us that no matter what else he accomplished in life, he'd still be Cooter — and that was a very good thing. We couldn't agree more. Rest in peace, Ben Jones. Thanks for the memories, the stories, and for always keeping Hazzard County alive. The post K&F Show #374 – BONUS: Remembering Ben Jones – The Man Behind Cooter Davenport first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
In this episode, Ben Jones from the "Dukes of Hazard," has passed awat at the age of 84. Dr. Fauci embarrassed himself as he refuses to answer questions before the Senate. As we are on the road to the Midtern elections, we are recognize the division within the Democratic party, which will most likely cost them the election. Minnesota is likely to flip Red this year. They will make history to have the first female governor in the history of the state. The Governor, a woman, won the party nominations in the G.O.P. and Democrativ primaries. -Thank you for listening!- Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brian-wallenberg-show--3256416/support.
This week's Kibbe & Friends Show is dedicated to the memory of Ben Jones, the man who brought Cooter Davenport to life on The Dukes of Hazzard and spent decades helping keep the show and its fan community alive. Rob, Corndog, and Bernie look back at Ben's life, his career before and after the Dukes, his time in Congress, the creation of Cooter's Place, and the lasting impact he had on generations of Dukes fans. For this week's review, the guys selected an episode that puts Cooter front and center: Season 6, Episode 12, “Cooter's Girl.” Cooter discovers he has an estranged daughter named Nancy Lou, forcing everyone to confront the difference between the wild “Crazy Cooter” of his younger days and the dependable friend and mechanic he eventually became. Meanwhile, Boss Hogg is chasing another land deal, bad guys are dumping toxic waste, Bo has somehow become a glider pilot, and the General Lee gets involved in one of the episode's best stunts. The guys also look back at some of Cooter Davenport's greatest moments throughout the series—from the wild character we met in Season 1 to becoming the General Lee's trusted caretaker and one of the Duke family's closest friends. It all leads to an ending that feels especially meaningful following Ben's passing, when Waylon reminds us, “Of course, we loved him all along.” Thank you for the laughs, the memories, and all those years of keeping Hazzard County alive, Ben. Cooter, all the grateful people of Hazzard… thank you. The post K&F Show #374: Remembering Ben Jones – “Cooter's Girl” Dukes of Hazzard Review first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 10, 2026. We kick things off with Iran's audacious demand for war reparations from the United States — and President Trump's brilliant response that flips the script and opens up Iran's own record of terror funding, hostage-taking, and brutality against its own people for the world to see. Then we run through the Top 3 things you need to know: President Trump's executive order spacing out childhood vaccines and trimming the recommended schedule, the DOJ's lawsuit against New York, Connecticut, and Vermont over in-state tuition for illegal aliens, and the Pentagon renaming Joint Base Charleston to Joint Base Lindsey Graham in honor of the late senator. We dig into the disturbing pattern of violence in the WNBA, including the flagrant hit on Sophie Cunningham, and ask our American Mamas whether Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White should be allowed to play in the WNBA after applying under the league's gender rules. We break down new numbers showing marijuana use has overtaken both daily cigarette and alcohol use in America — and why that should worry us more than it does. In Digging Deep, we expose how a soft-on-crime plea deal in Maricopa County let a confessed murderer walk free, only for him to allegedly torch 700 homes in Spokane, Washington. We also cover the discovery that British Royal Navy sea drones have been caught communicating with a server in China. There's a Bright Spot in new Gallup polling showing more Americans — especially Republicans — believe parents should be married before having kids. We call out the University of Michigan for hiding freshman grades behind a pass/no-credit system that shields students from the consequences that build real character. And we close by remembering Ben Jones, the actor who played Cooter on The Dukes of Hazzard and went on to serve in Congress, who passed away this weekend at 85. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Ben Jones, an actor who played "Cooter" on the popular 1980s CBS show "The Dukes of Hazzard," has died. He was 84. The native Southerner also was a two-term U.S. congressman from Georgia, and spent decades promoting the TV show he starred on. The Y'all Show is a production of Yall.com and hosted by Jon Rawl.
Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on AOC trying to giggle away the left's repressive and woke lurch since 2020, Abdul El-Sayed refusing to disavow Hasan Piker and dismissing Piker's comment that the U.S. deserved 9/11, Wisconsin Democrats frantically trying to defeat Francesca Hong in tomorrow's primary, and the passing of Dukes of Hazzard actor-turned-Georgia Rep Ben Jones.First, they fume as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes laughs and tries to chalk up the left's destructive demonization of police, white people, and anyone who didn't obey every jot and tittle of the Covid rules as some some crazy "Woke 1" phase the party went through. Jim says you can be sure the next level of wokeness will be far worse.Next, they shake their heads as El-Sayed refuses to distance himself from Hasan Piker and labels Piker's contention that we deserved 9/11 as dumb or out of context. Jim and Greg also consider how much this issue will hurt Piker and why these comments are not the same as most other issues.Then, they thoroughly enjoy the desperate attempt by Wisconsin Democrats to do whatever they can to stop Francesca Hong from being the party's nominee for governor. Jim suspects it won't work because the Dem electorate is more radical than even a few years ago. Greg says this is a problem of the Dems' own creation.Finally, they note the passing of former Georgia Rep. Ben Jones, who is best known as Cooter Davenport on The Dukes of Hazzard. Jim and Greg remember his brief time in Congress, his rivalry with Newt Gingrich, and the greatness of The Dukes of Hazzard.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

The latest revelations from Dr. Fauci’s messages about potential COVID vaccine risks during early pregnancy, President Trump’s vaccine actions and a crackdown on visas. Plus, the death of Dukes of Hazzard star Ben Jones, a bizarre Bob Dylan concert story, and the growing controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham, DiJonai Carrington and the WNBA.
On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott examines the ideological battle within the Democratic Party, reacting to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s comments about the excesses of “Woke 1.0” and efforts by Democrats to present a more moderate image ahead of the midterms. Rep. Russell Fry joined the program to preview South Carolina’s closely watched Republican Senate primary and make his case to succeed the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, while Democratic strategist Julian Epstein explained why he is breaking with his party’s nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and supporting Republican Mike Rogers. Later, Sen. Jim Banks discussed the latest developments involving Iran and recapped the Senate’s work before the August recess, including the Todd Blanche confirmation, government funding, birthright citizenship, voter ID legislation, and the SAVE America Act. Scott also weighed in on the latest WNBA controversy involving Sophie Cunningham and remembered former Congressman and Dukes of Hazzard actor Ben Jones, who died at age 84.

England v India, 5th T20, Trent Bridge: Jos Buttler roared back into form with a scintillating century, condemning India to their fourth heavy loss of the series. Harry Brook continued his great run in the format, with both batters pasting India to all corners of the Utilita Bowl.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 5: There was a collective weariness at Trent Bridge on Day 5 from all apart from the impressive New Zealand team. A sparse, quiet crowd saw the Kiwis' depleted attack take out the Test and series, and they look good value to get some big results out of the next 12 months. The 160-run win was inspired by their Day 1 run-fest and a bloody-minded 2nd innings century from a battered and bruised Daryl Mitchell. England's efforts today will further bring into question how they approached yesterday evening, and furthermore, the futures of McCullum and Key. Ben Jones and Daniel Norcross.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 4: News of Ben Stokes' retirement at the end of this Test was released in the middle of an over just prior to the tea break. In an amazing, Stokesian piece of theatre, the next ball was a wicket… to Ben Stokes. The Test turned truly bizarre, with the skipper's wild innings as an opener and a shuffled batting order that mimicked his approach, raising serious questions about the tactics, and Stokes' post-match comments about not enjoying playing for England. New Zealand, to their immense credit, remembered there was a Test and series to be won and kept their heads screwed on amongst the chaos, with Daryl Mitchell grinding out a superb century before their high-quality bowlers ripped out England's top order.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 2: The headline may be recency bias, but England will be delighted with their day's work. Considering the match situation, the conditions, and weary legs from one of their toughest days yesterday, England have turned the Test, the series, and possibly even the future employment of Brendan McCullum on their heads.

The U.S. is celebrating 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, but some Native Americans in the Mount Rushmore state are turning their focus to a different anniversary, as South Dakota Searchlight's Meghan O'Brien reports. Ben Jones is South Dakota's state historian. He also chairs the state's America 250 commission. He wants it to be an inclusive celebration. “There was just a strong desire personally, and I think among all the members of the commission, that we include everybody and everybody who lives in South Dakota to be a part of this.” But as July 4 nears, Trina Lone Hill (Oglala Sioux) is not planning to celebrate. “For me personally, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is like a slap in the face.” Lone Hill is a former historic preservation officer for the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Now, she serves on its tribal council. The founding of the country meant lost land, language, and culture for Indigenous people. So Lone Hill's focus is on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the week before Independence Day. The conflict on June 25, 1876, was a major victory for the Northern Cheyenne, Arapaho, Lakota, and Dakota people. It happened during the United States' encroachment on their land, after the discovery of gold in the Black Hills. Lakota people know the conflict as the Battle of the Greasy Grass. Representatives of several tribes are working with the National Park Service to commemorate the anniversary at the battlefield in Montana. Lone Hill will be one of more than a dozen speakers at the three-day event. U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) holds a press conference on Monday, June 1, 2026, in Tucson., Ariz. The Indian Health Service (IHS) is preparing to close one of its three locations in Arizona. The agency says this is part of a plan to modernize operations and improve health outcomes. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, state Democrats are raising alarm. More than 28,000 patients depend on the Tucson, Ariz. area office, especially members from the Tohono O'odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe. It mostly handles administrative work, but is expected to merge with the IHS Phoenix office. That location is already responsible for 180,000 patients in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. “Consolidating one to another, you're going to have a disruption of service. Any cut is going to cause a delay.” State Rep. Brian Garcia (Pascua Yaqui/D-AZ) is concerned. So too is State Sen. Sally Ann Gonzales (Pascua Yaqui/D-AZ), who also chairs the Indigenous Peoples Caucus. “I've never been to that clinic, but I know that some of our members do, and I used to represent Tohono O'odham and it's in their San Javier District, so it's disheartening to learn of its closure.” Arizona state Democrats sent a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy earlier this month, urging him to halt the looming closure. The agency did not comment on the letter. Mark Cruz testified Wednesday before the U.S. Senate Indian Affairs Committee. The nominee to lead the IHS appeared before a U.S. Senate committee Wednesday. Mark Cruz (Klamath Tribes) answered questions from lawmakers on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee during his confirmation hearing to become the next IHS director. Cruz currently serves as senior advisor for Native Affairs at HHS. He told senators he would focus on strengthening tribal consultation, improving health care access, and addressing workforce shortages across Indian Country if confirmed. His nomination now moves forward in the Senate confirmation process. IHS provides care to about 2.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge Day 1: Another UK scorcher saw England toil under blue skies. A day that was meant to be triumphant for the returns of Stokes and Atkinson saw the unheralded duo of Latham and Conway put on 317 before England took a wicket. But, like Nottingham buses, you wait for one, and then four come along unexpectedly and quickly. Ben Jones joins Daniel Norcross to discuss who, on a very flat track, actually has the better of the day.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 3rd Test, Trent Bridge, Preview: A wild series comes to its unmissable conclusion this week at Trent Bridge. For New Zealand, dependable all-rounder Mitch Santner will come in for the rested Kyle Jamieson, but the bigger focus will be on England's changes. A huge chance for Shoaib Bashir to prove his worth on a hot week, of course, but there'll be no greater focus this year than on the return of the suspended skipper, Ben Stokes.

Realistically, any of the three sessions or near 300 runs required were going to take Herculean efforts against the Kiwis high-quality attack, and it was their leader, Matt Henry, who took the best figures for a New Zealander against England.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 2nd Test, Oval, Day 4: A day where New Zealand's much vaunted attack showed why they garner so much respect. Only Joe Root, again, was able to hold the tide at bay, assisted with some Bazballian flourishes from Harry Brook. All four results are still possible, but one seems more likely than the other.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 2nd Test, Oval, Day 3: It was a red-letter day for the return of Henry Nicholls, who notched up a classy century to put a flat England to the sword. With only Matt Fisher showing early resistance with the bat, it was down to the bowlers to keep England in the match on a beautiful batting wicket. Days 4 and 5 will be intriguing.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 2nd Test, Oval, Day 2: Glenn Phillips, seemingly the cricketer that everyone loves, finally scaled the mountain to score his maiden Test century. It made him the 35th man to score a century in all three international formats. It led to an enthralling battle on a pitch that still offers the occasional assistance to hard-working fast bowlers.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 2nd Test, Oval, Preview: For England, it's hard to imagine how their time since Lord's could've been more chaotic. So much drama, so many changes. Now across the river, it means at least two debuts, possibly three, and up to give changes pending circumstances outside of their control in a birthing suite. What of Stokes, and McCullum's press conference yesterday? And of Root, who steered so comfortably through his captain's press conference today? Might it be that interim leader extends to, say, the 2027 Ashes? Adam and Ben Jones can see it. As for New Zealand, after some time away, they arrive at a ground without Williamson, but with belief that these conditions should suit them perfectly to make the most of this chance.

Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 1st Test, Lord's Day 1:There'll be questions asked about another dicey pitch at Lord's in early June, with 33 wickets falling in total by the end of the second day. Emilio Gay provided some respite, raising a 50 on debut in an hour of relative calm, before the pitch started playing havoc again and New Zealand's catching joined the chaos.
