roar into '24. from disasters to the clutter, how to resolve the top post holiday trouble spots in your home. plus, a recipe revamped for the new year. chef andrew zimmern is here with more economical dishes and he's saying -- >> good morning america. >> announcer: live in times square, this is gma. >> good morning, everybody. we are roaring into 2024 this morning with tips to unclutter your life. >> kind of hard to say roaring into 2024. plus the remarkable story about a 1 in 1 million pregnancy. >> but first top stories starting with karine jean-pierre. she's joining us to discuss president biden's challenges in the year ahead. happy new year. thank you for joining us. let's begin as president biden heads into his fourth year in

office facing re-election this year, possible rematch with donald trump. lot of the polls show him, especially in the battleground states trailing or tied with donald trump. what does the white house think about that? how can you turn it around? >> hi, george. happy new year. thank you very much for having me. i'm going to be mindful here. as you know, george, can't really talk about an up coming election but here's what i will say. just taking really baby step back here for a second. last year if you think about the last three years this president has accomplished more than any other president has been able to do in two terms. so we saw the data coming out of last year on the economy and bidenomics and how it's working. you think about 14 million jobs created. unemployment under 4% in 22 months. gas prices going down under 3 bucks in 28 states. those things matter. that's incredibly important. so we're hoping, what we want to do is continue to focus on bidenomics and consider lowering of costs on products for the american people. the president after coming out

of the state of the union, he talked about finishing up the job, right? what he meant by that is continuing to work for veterans, right? making sure we do the work that we need to do there. working on public health issues like cancer and other important critical key things that american people care about. whether it's making roe the law of the land, continuing to work on gun violence. our young people, kids, when it comes to gun violence, guns with the leading killer of kids. we're going to continue to do that work and that's going to be our focus in the upcoming year. >> also facing national security challenges, including war in the middle east and potential now wider war with iran now that they've sent a war ship into the red sea. we've seen battles with the houthi rebels. are you concerned about a wider war? >> so here's what i will say to that. the houthis is a rebel organization. obviously, we take all of this very seriously. the president has said we are ready to act in self-defense if needed.

i'm certainly not going to get into specifics of our military operations. but the president is always and has always been committed to our service member and protecting our service member abroad. that's what the president is going to be committed to. >> the war in ukraine is grinding on. it seemed to escalate over the last several days. but this aid package is still stalled in congress. are you confident you can get it done early this year? >> so look, we have to be confident that it gets done. let's not forget what's going on here. talk about the supplemental where there's been negotiations happening on the hill, even through the holidays, which we appreciate. but look, last week the president put out a statement on what you just stated about what we've seen, continued aggression in ukraine, something we haven't seen since the beginning of the war. we got to remember what ukraine is fighting for. they're fighting for freedom, democracy. this is against president putin, who's doing this aggression. it's not just ukraine that we have to worry about here, george. we're talking about our nato alliance, right? he's not going to stop.

president putin is not going to stop at ukraine. we have to think about, and the president understands this. when we talk about our national security, it's not just abroad but here at home. so we're going to do everything we can, that the brave people of ukraine have what it needs to continue to fight for their democracy. >> also tied up in those negotiations, border security. many american cities now overwhelmed with this immigration crisis. >> look, george. you know, it is really, when we think about the bussing and flights we are seeing from one governor currently right now, governor abbott, that is doing this. using migrants as a political stunt. it's not protecting our communities across the country. it's not making texas any safer. it's shameful. we need to call that out. look, we've been in touch with mayors and governors in the northern part of the country to talk, to give them and provide resources that they may need to deal with the influx. but the president, on day 1 of his administration, put forward an immigration legislation, a comprehensive immigration legislation because he understood how important it was

to deal with border security, an immigration system that's been broken for decades. you see conversations happening in a bipartisan way in the senate. we really appreciate that. we believe it's headed in the right direction. we hope when congress gets back, that we can move forward on those conversations and get things done, to make sure our border is secure. >> karine jean-pierre, thank you. michael? >> thank you, george. now the new state law that took effect when the calendar turned to 2024, from guns to minimum wage, to inclusion programs. chief white house correspondent mary bruce is here now to tell us all about them. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, michael. with the new year comes a new slate of state laws across the country that are having an immediate impact on americans' lives. first up, gun reforms. despite a historic number of mass shootings last year, congress remains dead locked on this issue, so states are now taking action instead. california now taking the biggest step, barring guns in most public places, including

libraries, public parks, churches and sports venues. while illinois is also banning high powered semiautomatic rifles and magazines. colorado is getting rid of those ghost guns, those do it yourself homemade guns. next, the federal minimum wage. it hasn't been raised in nearly 15 years now. still stuck at $7.25 an hour. but once again, we are seeing states taking matters into their own hands. 22 states are raising their minimum wage. many workers will now be making $15 an hour or more. now, we know states have also been battlegrounds for social issues. new restrictions on gender transition care for younger people are now in place. in texas they have now banned offices and programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion at publicly funded colleges and universities. conservative lawmakers saying those programs stoke racial divisions or push liberal agendas on campuses. lots of changes across the country, eva. >> mary, so nice to have you here in studio in new york here.

>> thank you. >> now another major infant formula recall. hundreds of thousands of cans are being recalled over possible bacterial contamination. rhiannon ally is here with what parents need to know. really concerning this morning. >> absolutely, good morning, eva. this one is a big one for parents of young babies. johnson nutrition is voluntarily recalling 675,000 cans of the nutramigen's hypoallergenic formula. it's a special formula given to infants who are allergic to cows milk. the contamination was found in samples overseas. the company said testing did not turn up any problems here in the u.s. but it divide sided to issue the recall out of an abundance of caution. the company tells abc news it understands the incredible responsibility we have in providing what is often the sole nutrition for infants. there can be no short cuts for this vulnerable population. the company says the recall will not impact any of its other

products, and the best news out of all of this, there haven't been any reports of illnesses among the babies who drank this formula. parents should always check with pediatrician about an alternative in the mean time. we all remember the nationwide formula shortage in 2022. the silver lining here, guy, is that experts do not expect another shortage like that in this recall. >> okay. thanks rhiannon. coming up, respiratory illnesses are on the rise with cases of the flu and covid up across the country. dr. jen ashton is here with who's at the greatest risk, how to protect yourself. also ahead the best way to declutter your home after the holidays. plus chef andrew zimmern is here with a recipe revamp. refreshing your cooking and eating habits to make your dishes healthier and tastier, too. and the stars align to make comet best in show, winning the american kennel club national championship. there he is. he's here with us. that is coming up right here on gma.

january, as they do most years. that should not be a surprise to anyone. >> and you said respiratory illnesses, rsv, covid. the common cold. they all kind of have similar symptoms. what is the one we're most at risk? >> well, look. i think for all of them, most at risk are people who are not vaccinated. but then there are risk categories. we've heard them before. they bear repeating. infants and children under 5, particularly vulnerable. pregnant women, adults 65 years and over and anyone with a compromised immune system or underlying respiratory illness. but we also have to remember that all three of these viruses, they present with similar symptoms and they can be unpredictable. so we probably all know a person who doesn't fit into those categories who was current and up to date with their vaccinations and boosting who got pretty sick. that's what we need to remember. >> you have an article in your new magazine on newsstands right now. how can you protect yourself? you can't avoid people.

>> i interview top infectious disease specialist for the magazine and she shares her tips. i think what's very important is if you are eligible for vaccination or boosting, get those vaccines. this is the first season that we do have fda approved vaccines for all three of these major viruses. then hand hygiene important, getting tested if you're sick because sometimes that can affect how you manage treatment. then masking. we have to remember the things we learned during the pandemic. they're tried and true. we know they help. we need to be able to lean in on them if the rates in our area or if you're particularly vulnerable or if you're concerned. they work. >> dr. ashton, thank you very much. >> thank you, as always, doc. now to our series for january. roar into '24 setting you up for success in the new year. this morning, we're looking at simple ways to declutter your home and the three post holiday problem spots to tackle right now. stephanie ramos is back with that. hey, stephanie. >> hey, michael. it is that time of year. start a new year, start fresh

it's really important to switch out your summer jackets with your winter jackets so that you create space where you need it. >> reporter: next up, the pantry. >> the key for a pantry is you need to be able to see what you have in stock especially when you want to grocery shop. you want to rotate the older stuff to the front and put the newer stuff to the back. one of my favorite hacks is to buy one of these over the door shoe organizers. you can put your tiny packets and stuff, and they're easy to see so you know if you're running low. >> reporter: finally, the play room. >> so the toy room after the holidays can be absolute madness because we've just added more toys to a bigger mess usually. my biggest tip for the play room is organize and cycle out your toys on a regular basis, probably once a month. get into the habit of cycling out your toys you'll notice what toys your kids actually play with. when they start to not play with stuff, it's time to think about donating them. >> reporter: but most importantly, sara says, it's all about team work. >> we need patience and

perseverance, but if you have it, you can do it. >> yes, you can do it. one space at a time. it can even be a family activity. i told my kids this is what we're doing today, by the way. i know. they love it. they are in store for a lot. but, guys, it is such a stress reliever to be able to come home and just feel organized. a great way to start the year. >> yeah. >> i'm pretty sure the kids are like, yeah!

we want some crunch from some almonds. we love toasted coconut in there. and best of all, little mint in there just for fun. you can see i have got a whole bunch there. you can put on some fresh passion fruit as well. the technique, the recipe, is fool proof with any flavor you want to use. orange, whatever you want to do. this one i made with my favorite non-dairy yogurt, nature's fine. what's great about this is people are trying to cut different things out of your diet. if you want to go completely vegan, use an egg substitute for it. it works just as well. but the beautiful part of that is that, whether you're going vegan or just taking the dairy out, it's just one more step with every bite you take towards more wellness for the new year. take a baby step. people, i think, try to take giant leaps. you know this as an athlete. it's not the giant leap. it's consistency and time, right?

force for growing food in the region, we've stablized ten countries instead of just one. so that's the kind of work we're doing. we're the largest humanitarian aid organization in the word and won the nobel peace prize last year. i'm really proud of the work i'm doing there. >> you should be. >> thank you. >> thank you for bringing us delicious food to gma. everybody at home, scan the qr code on your screen an get these recipes on good morning america.com. for more from andrew, you can check out his website andrew zimmern.com. coming up january's book club pick. and the new way many families are vacationing during the school year. this is unbelievable. be right back. believable.

frpblgtsz back now with the fi >> back now frpblgtsz back now with the first gma book club of 2024. juju chang is in san francisco with the author of our january pick. good morning, juju. >> good morning to you, george. vanessa chan is the kind of author who can transport you to another time and place. the storm we made is her book. it asks an intriguing question. why would a young mother betray her husband and her country? and what if that betrayal helps unleash catastrophe? it's the mid malai when a love affair turns a discontented housewife into the unlikeliest of japanese spies. debut author

vanessa chan writing about the catastrophic consequences from that betrayal in her novel "the storm we made "highlighting an often untold chapter of world war ii. >> that history is not very much discussed and written down in history. stories are just stories unless you write them down. so i wrote them down hoping this way they'll become history. >> reporter: the novel, told through the alternating timeline and voices of cecily, a mother longing for more and her three children as they struggle to survive japanese occupation she helped usher in. it is part spy thriller, part love story, part literary historical fiction. what were you going for? >> i wanted to tell a very good story. when the story first started, i was just writing about three children living through a war. but i continued to write this book during the pandemic and i couldn't go anywhere. so i decided to give myself a

character who could run around and do irresponsible things. that's how this was born. it all came together in the genres that i hope is entertaining. >> my understanding is many of the characters were based on childhood stories you heard from your grandparents? >> yes. many of the anecdotes were based on stories i heard from my grandmother growing up. if i were to ask my grandmother directly, what was your life like during the war? she would tell me to mind my own business, get back to my chores and leave her alone. i learned that if i just let her go about her day, she would talk up a storm and all of these stories started to come up, like how they were always hungry, or she was nearly killed by an air strike when she was bicycling home. >> some of the themes are very epic, whether it's colonialism, or occupation or the classism that exists. why did you want to tackle those issues?

>> these are story based on real people. the role of a fiction writer is to explain, but also to story tell. my role i felt was to illuminate some of these loftier and challenging concepts with human stories. >> the story, an unflinchingly honest look at the horrors of war and the humanity behind it, with an ending that will haunt readers long after the final page. >> it was important to me that this history is portrayed in the manner that it was lived. war is war and history is history. life, history and war doesn't wrap up in a beautiful bow. >> it is a total page turner, full of brutal truths about the horrors of war. but it's also a powerful reminder that it's often the simple things in life that we take for granted that bring us joy. you can keep reading along at gma book club. you can buy the book by scanning the qr code on your screen right there. of course, check out a little

free library near you for a copy of "the storm we made." >> thank you, juju. now to somara. >> take a look. plum, pennsylvania saw about 2 inches of snow just outside of pittsburgh. it has been 687 consecutive days since new york city had recorded an inch of snowfall or more. last time we saw this was valentine's day of 2022. that is 23 months ago. we're tracking a big storm moving in this weekend. we'll have more on that coming up. for now, let's get a check a litt now to a new trend in travel. families taking their kids out of school to go on vacation. stephanie ramos is back with the benefits of off season trips and what educators are saying.

>> tacking on a day or two before or after winter or spring break has been a relatively normal occurrence for some families, but now some parents emboldened by the rise of remote work and schooling in the pandemic are fed up with high prices of peak season travel and are saying yes to taking their kids out of school to travel. spending quality family time is essential. and more and more families with kids are opting to take family vacations while school is still in session. meet the fernandez family. mom, dad, two kids, the eldest in first grade, the youngest is 2 years old and stays home with mom. they travel during the school year to save money and to give the kids a break from routines. >> my family and i like to take vacations during the school year, let's say maybe twice during the year, if not at least once. >> the fernandezes say vacationing during the off season means it's also less crowded. >> it's quite affordable

compared to going during the summer. air fare, hotels and everything are going to be much more expensive. >> the bakaly family also take family trips when school is in. >> if you can go between september/october, that seems to be when crowds are down, prices are down, and then the same in february after president's day. i think people aren't traveling right before spring break. >> but educators are worried about the impact of missing class on kids. >> showing up to school every day, re-establishing that routine of everyday attendance is critical. it helps lower anxiety, helps make sure they develop good habits that are important for success in school. >> reporter: for the majority of american family, the family travel association says summer and spring still remains the top time to vacation, but 56% of

respondents to the survey found the timing of school breaks are a challenge, and 59% cited affordability as their most pressing issue. these families say taking the kids on vacation is beneficial, adding that traveling can be educational because the kids get to learn new experiences. >> i feel like even though we have a long summer break, having your kids just going to school and home and back and forth, it gets pretty repetitive. i think doing these family vacations is definitely helpful, not only for the kids but for the family as a whole. >> educators stress the significance of consistent learning for students' academic success. they say missing school can create gaps in knowledge an learning that might be challenging to bridge. some parents argue the experiences gained toward travel can also contribute to a child's education. guys, in my household, the kids are sticking with the school calendar. they're not missing any days of school. and they're organizing.

[ laughter ] >> they're like, mom, no! >> sorry, boys. we tried. thanks, stephanie. coming up ali abdaal shares his secrets of feel good productivity, making time for the things you love to do. thi. i thought i was dead. after the accident, i was in a lot of pain and i decided that i needed to. i called jacoby & meyers they had their own dream team.

psychology that talks about how finding a way to feel good about your work makes you more productive, but also makes you less stressed and gives you more energy to give to the other important areas of your life. >> how do you get to feel good? >> the way you get to feel good is based on three energizers. these are the three p's. play, power and people. and if you incorporate those into your work, then it just makes everything you do feel more good, makes you more productive, less stressed. >> give me an example of how a doctor would do that stp. >> the first one is play, for example. play is all about trying to approach your work in the spirit of play with a little lightness and ease. not taking it so seriously. one thing, the best surgeons in the world do, even when they are in the middle of life an death operation, they'll have background music. they'll crack a joke here and there. even though it's a very serious thing they are dealing with, they approach it with a sense of lightness. if we can apply that to our work, even outside of life and

death, it makes us more productive and less stressed. >> you also talk about time blocking. what is that? >> time blocking is basically where instead of trying to use a to do list to figure out what you need to do, you'll use your calendar. the problem with a two do list is it's long. you can keep adding more things to it. the nice thing about a calendar is it's finite. it forces you to prioritize what are the true things that matter to you? rather than just -- as we all do, just tack things on. >> which things you're going to do just today? >> exactly. >> that seems to make sense. if people want to begin their year with this new mind set, what's the first tip you give them? >> first tip i would say, if there's one thing you do at the start of every day, ask yourself, what is today's adventure going to be? that question asks you to figure out what's your most important task for that day? if you just do that, you'll be productive. but framing it as an adventure encourages you to find the fun in it. encourages you to approach it with more of the sense of play. what is today's adventure going to be? >> is this your adventure for today? >> this is my adventure for today.
