Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, your home for open, honest and provocative conversations.

Hey, Moana, Megan Kelly, welcome to the Megan Kelly Show.

Today we have a fascinating guest for you who will be joining us for the full show.

David Sachs is a successful entrepreneur, a venture capitalist who runs craft ventures

and a co-host of the popular tech podcast All In.

He's a member of the so-called PayPal Mafia.

That's a group of men who founded PayPal and went on to build very successful tech companies after that.

Other members of the Mafia include Elon Musk, Peter Teal and others.

And he's been called our guest today, California Governor Gavin Newsom's loudest critic in Silicon Valley.

He's also now setting his sights on San Francisco's far left radical district attorney Chesa Boudin.

We both been editors of that.

And so Peter recruited me to join PayPal at a very early stage. I ended up becoming CEO of the company.

Okay, and did you when you first started it, did you know it was going to be a blockbuster or was it like, yeah, we'll give a shot.

You never really know. I mean, I thought it was a great idea. This idea that we could email money. I thought that was sort of a killer idea.

And we sort of focused on building a great product to do that.

So I always on a certain level, I believe that it would be big. But at the same time, you never, I didn't, didn't I know that it would be a whatever $200 billion public company today.
