Elizabeth Pipko Launches New US Political Show 'Made in America' for News24
The former RNC spokeswoman's program has quickly garnered significant viewership on YouTube, signaling an expansion for the Australian-based network.
Australian-based media outlet News24 has entered the US political media landscape with the debut of its new opinion show, "Made in America," hosted by former Republican National Committee spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko. The program, which premiered on October 12, has achieved notable success on the network's YouTube channel, with several segments ranking among its most-watched videos within the first week of its launch.
News24 reported that four episodes of "Made in America" were among the top 10 most-viewed videos on its YouTube channel during the show's inaugural week. Pipko, who previously worked as a model and has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, stated that her focus was on creating a quality product rather than on viewership numbers.
The show's commentary on Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar reportedly became its most popular segment, attracting an estimated 700,000 views. "Made in America" features Pipko offering her perspectives on American politics, culture, and foreign affairs.
Pipko described the show's "distinctly pro-American perspective" as being "absolutely in love with what it means to be American and always leading with my country in mind." The show's launch represents a significant step in News24's global expansion strategy.
The network's YouTube channel has amassed over 8.2 billion views, positioning it as one of the top 10 most-watched English-language news outlets on the platform. In addition to Pipko's show, News24 has introduced "Unleashed," a UK-based opinion program hosted by Australian journalist Samara Gill, and features "The Rita Panahi Show" from Australia. The network has also established its first London bureau, augmenting its existing operations in Washington, D.C., Taipei, Wellington, and Australia.
Pipko, originally from New York City, began her political career on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. She later served as the national spokeswoman for the RNC during the 2024 election cycle and has made numerous appearances on television news networks. Prior to her political career, Pipko was a model for Wilhelmina Models. She also founded "Lest People Forget," a digital Holocaust museum, and authored the memoir "Finding My Place: Making My Parents’ American Dream Come True."
