Tej Gill and Steve Bannon appeared together on Saturday’s WarRoom program and exposed the deep state’s role in perpetual war. Gill, a veteran with 16 combat deployments, describes firsthand how U.S. foreign policy fuels global instability while ignoring domestic crises. Bannon highlights the entrenched war apparatus, the trillion-dollar defense budget, and the difficulty Trump faces in dismantling it. They discuss Gill’s Warpath Coffee, an entrepreneurial success story rooted in defying the system.
War Without End
Gill has seen this all before. "Yeah, 16 times between Iraq and Afghanistan. This is all too familiar.” He recalls a 2007 briefing by General Wesley Clark, revealing a U.S. plan to overthrow seven countries: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. "The plan is on track,” Gill warns. "I helped overthrow the Iraqi government.” The result? Chaos, destruction, and a cycle of endless war.
Bannon connects the pattern to the Arab Spring, orchestrated under Obama and Clinton. "We just keep destabilizing the Middle East,” he says. "Even with dictators, the region was more stable.” Instead, the U.S. intervenes, topples governments, and leaves nations in ruins. "Now, we’ve moved to Eastern Europe,” Gill adds. "We had a huge part in this Ukrainian war.”
Profiting from War
The cycle is intentional. "There’s no money in stopping these wars,” Bannon states. "That’s why they don’t end.” NGOs and defense contractors profit from both sides. "Some of these NGOs are on our side, some are on the enemy’s side. We fund both.” The U.S. no longer seeks victory. "We don’t do unconditional surrenders anymore. We just go from one war to the next. It’s sick.”
The deep state ensures perpetual conflict. "This is what Trump is up against,” Bannon says. "And he’s only got a handful of people in the entire apparatus on his side.” Even with 3,000 appointments, "you get Walt, a handful at the National Security Council. But the forever war apparatus is funded.”
Neglecting America
While America destabilizes the world, its own house is crumbling. "We have an open border,” Gill says. "They say 15 to 20 million illegals are here.” Instead of fixing this, the system invites foreign competition against Americans. "We still invite the world in here to compete against our own people.”
Breaking Free: Warpath Coffee
Gill refused to be a cog in the machine. "If I became a tech worker, they’d get me another way.” Instead, he built Warpath Coffee, a veteran-owned company roasting high-quality coffee differently. "We use a perforated drum that caramelizes the beans. You don’t need milk or sugar.” The business is booming. "We can’t roast the beans fast enough. It flies off the shelves.”
Partnered with War Room, Warpath Coffee is more than a business—it’s a movement. "We’ve got Trump 47 Freedom Tumblers, mugs, and over 7,000 five-star reviews.”
Final Thought
Gill and Bannon expose the truth: America funds endless wars while neglecting its people. The deep state fights to keep the machine running. But those who see through it, like Gill, are forging new paths. "Beat your swords into plowshares,” Bannon says. "Tell me about Warpath.”
