1:23 pm
richest terror organization we have ever known. it turns out this group has proven itself to be very resilient. new forms of moneymaking as the u.s. has tried to cut off one after another. what i discovered is the biggest way they are making money now is through taxation. they own such large swaths of land a are able to tax and extort money from people and businesses at wheel -- at will. pim: there have been a recent swaths of cash that detailed the finances and arrangements of the organization of islamic state. with the new information, is that going to aid the u.s. effort to block? >> absolutely. you are talking about a raid in eastern syria last month on one of the top financial people in the islamic state organization. we don't know in detail yet what but i havet say,
