Hello! Welcome! Hello welcome to the

to the Riana for President episode of Slate Money, your guide to the

business and finance news of the week. I'm Felix Salmon of Axios. I'm here with

Emily Peck, also of Axios. Hello, hello. I'm here with Elizabeth Spires.

Hello. I feel like with the title of this show I've already given away one of the punchlines in the show,

which is we're going to start by talking about the leadership vacuum at the World Bank.

David Malpass has stepped down. We're going to talk about who could possibly replace him.

And then we're going to talk about something completely different, which is the derailment in Ohio.

But then we're going to talk about ads

and the value of advertising and the value of publicity

and we're somehow going to talk about

Riana and the Super Bowl, and we are going to bring it full circle

and come to the genius idea that Riana should be the next president of the World Bank, which

would be awesome, I think. It's all coming up on slate money.
