Kevin Hart is putting his foot down when it comes to speculation surrounding his height. The 44-year-old comedian confirms his actual height in a new interview for 60 Minutes, opening up about why he jokes about his size in his stand-up.  In a new clip shared on social media, Anderson Cooper notes that various media outlets have all reported Hart at different heights ranging from 5’2 to 5’5.  “GQ finally got it right,” Hart reveals, confirming the 5’5 number. “Five-foot-five. Like, with a shoe on, like with a sneaker.”  With a sly smile, he adds, “Now if I put a boot on, I can get to 5’5 and a half.”  Hart’s stature has long been a subject of his comedy routines, as well as an ongoing schtick between himself and his longtime pal, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — whose own height has been reported to be between 6’2 and 6’5.  Kevin Hart with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson – Albert L.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said “the U.S. is on an unsustainable fiscal path” in an 60 Minutes interview with Scott Pelley released Sunday. “The U.S. federal government’s on an unsustainable fiscal path.

I don’t think that’s at all controversial,” Powell said when asked if the national debt is a danger to the economy. The U.S. national debt topped $34 trillion for the first time ever in early January, just over three months after surpassing the $33 trillion mark, according to data released by the U.S. Treasury. Congress has punted on spending deadlines three times since the end of September as it grapples with how to fund the government amid tensions about the ballooning national debt. Under the latest stopgap measure passed in January, funding for four federal agencies will expire on March 1. Funding for the rest of the government is set to run out on March 8. President Biden and House Republicans faced off on the …
