I'm not aware of a process that will automate it, but the audio waveform indicates amplitude, and therefore you could ID unwanted section(s) and remove with the Ripple process engaged, That collapses (or expands) all the tracks in the TL based on the selection.

Sound Forge Pro on the other hand can ID low-volume sections with auto-region process, which has an user adjustable threshold. When saved, the SF regions and makers are visible in VP.

There is an Event Pan/Crop process, but that is different than your example.

Vegasaur's Silence Detector does something similar and generates Regions over the silence parts then.

FYI, you can use Delete Inside Regions option to delete all those regions with one click:

Thanks @altarvic

I did not use this option in the video because I was not sure if they wanted to move the events after the cuts. I always do the way you explained. Thank you!
