Some necessary explanatory notes, and a correction to what the woman panelist said.
Matt Miller is the chief U.S. State Department propagandist ("spokesman"), a completely immoral creature who covers for the U.S.-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, parrying questions, creating a fog of gaslighting. He's not even a human being, but an ANTI-human being.
Jamal Khashoggi was a Saudi who wrote op-ed columns for the Washington Post, a major media organ of the ruling class. Khashoggi occasionally criticized the Saudi dictatorship run by "Prince" Mohammed Salman. Salman found this intolerable, so Khashoggi was lured to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in October 2018, where he was murdered, his body sawed into pieces, and the pieces smuggled out and made to vanish. After the Turkish government exposed this crime, there was a period where U.S. politicians waved their arms and waxed indignant, proclaiming the crime to be "unacceptable." Eventually the furor blew over. The Saudi dictator scapegoated some hapless government operatives and that was the end of it.
The woman on the panel attributes the U.S. abandonment of Americans under Israeli bombardment in Lebanon to the Biden regime being "rudderless." That's not it. The reason is callousness for the victims.
The U.S. government has an ingrained habit of siding with Israel whenever it murders Americans. The reason is that the U.S. political system at the highest levels has been colonized by Israel through its fifth column in the U.S., which includes organizations like AIPAC, the ADL, Christian Zionists, with the establishment media long acting like they are Israeli propaganda mouthpieces.
The callousness of U.S. politicians and government for American victims of Israeli violence has a long history, going back to the attempted sinking of the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967, and even earlier to Israeli secret police bombing U.S. facilities in Egypt in the 1950's under "false flag" operations designed to lay the blame on Egyptians, and forward to the murder of Rachel Corrie, who was run over by an Israeli bulldozer when she tried to stop the demolition of a Palestinian family's home, the murder of a passenger on a relief convoy in international waters by Israeli commandos to stop it reaching Gaza, and the murder of star Al Jazeera reporter by an Israeli army sniper in May 2022, in Jenin, West Bank, Palestine. And just to show they had total impunity to murder journalists, two weeks later the Israelis murdered another journalist. They didn't have to wait for a scandal to blow over. They wanted to make it clear to reporters who covered their crimes that their lives could be snuffed out at any time with no consequences to Israel.
Here's the link to the episode of Sam Seder's "The Majority Report" from which this is excerpted.

Here's an interesting example of youtube political interference. I searched on youtube the title of the show, and it only came up with some shit about Israeli terrorist prime minister Menachem Begin. I had to search OUTSIDE of youtube to get the youtube URL link! Not the first time I've had to do that. I knew when Google bought youtube it would spoil it. Google, now under the corporate umbrella of Alphabet, was a joint project of Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and the NSA and CIA at Stanford University. And it shows.
