Glenn Greenwald became one of the world's most famous journalists almost overnight after he reported on secret programs leaked from the National Security Agency by Edward Snowden. The Intercept, his new venture with e-Bay co-founder Pierre Omidyar, launched Monday morning with two new stories about the National Security Agency.

Greenwald has said that the NSA secrets exposed so far constitute but the tip of the iceberg of what the Snowden files contain, and one aim of The Intercept is to "provide a platform and an editorial structure in which to aggressively report on the disclosures provided to us by our source, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden." 

In this interview, Larry talks with Greenwald about The Intercept, the Snowden files, and the global ripples the NSA revelations have caused.
