News24, an Australian network, is stepping into the US political media scene with a new opinion show called “Made in America,” hosted by Elizabeth Pipko, who previously served as a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee. The network reports that the show has already captivated over 8 million viewers on YouTube.
Since its debut on October 12, “Made in America” has quickly gained traction, with four segments making it into the top 10 most-watched videos on News24’s YouTube channel during its opening week.
The most popular segment to date features Pipko interviewing Jim Trusty, a former prosecutor at the Department of Justice, discussing the investigation into Ilhan Omar. This video alone has surpassed 860,000 views.
Pipko expressed her initial uncertainty about the show’s reception but emphasized her desire to create content that resonates with viewers. “I didn’t want to be too focused on the numbers; I just wanted to make something people genuinely liked,” she said.
The show, which airs weekdays, gives Pipko—a former model and staunch supporter of Donald Trump—a chance to share her insights on American politics, culture, and international relations.
When asked what a pro-American perspective means to her, Pipko replied, “To me, it signifies a true affection for everything America represents, always prioritizing my country in my thoughts.”
This initiative represents a significant development for News24, which claims its YouTube channel has amassed over 8.2 billion views, placing it among the top ten most-viewed English-language news platforms globally.
Pipko has a background that includes starting her political journey with Trump’s campaign in 2016. Alongside that, she became the national spokeswoman for the RNC during the 2024 election cycle and frequently appears on networks such as Fox News and CNN.
Before her political career, she modeled for Wilhelmina Models, and she also established “Lest People Forget,” a digital museum focused on the Holocaust, and authored a memoir titled “Finding My Place: Making My Parents’ American Dream Come True.”
Having previously appeared on News24, Pipko expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to host, saying, “It’s an incredible compliment to be considered worthy of the network in the first place.”
News24 seems to be banking on its engaging approach to political commentary connecting with a wider audience around the world.
In addition to Pipko’s show, the network has rolled out a UK-focused opinion program called “Unleashed,” hosted by Australian journalist Samara Gill. These shows add to the existing Australian offerings, like “The Rita Panahi Show.”
As part of its international expansion, News24 has also opened its first bureau in London, complementing its reporting teams in Washington, DC, Taipei, Wellington, and Australia.
News24 operates under News Corp Australia, a division of News Corp, the same parent company as The Post.
