thursday, kemp's administration also fighting to block bottoms' attempt to return the city back to phase 1 guidelines eliminating dining at restaurants and only allowing residents to leave their homes for essential trips. >> i'm not afraid of the city being sued and i will put up our policies up against anyone's any day of the week. >> reporter: arkansas' governor asa hutchison becomes the 28th governor to issue a statewide mask order. >> my rights are civil rights. >> reporter: the mask issue leading to heated debates across the nation sparking boos at this school meeting in utah. >> i think it's totally wrong. i think it's a political hoax and i am against the masks. >> reporter: and leading to the arrest of this louisiana man accused of backing his car into an officer after refusing to wear a mask in walmart. in florida, where cases have been skyrocketing, the miami-dade county is now issuing

its new normal guidelines enforcing social distancing and also making it mandatory to wear a mask both indoors and outdoors. those who don't can face a fine up to $100. cecilia? >> okay, marcus. thank you. we're going to turn to washington and the new poll showing that six in ten americans disapprove of the president's response to the pandemic and just 34% trust what he has to say about this crisis. this, of course, coming as members of the president's own party publicly criticize his response. our senior congressional correspondent mary bruce has more from washington. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. well, the impact of the president's handling of this pandemic is clear. as cases go up, the president's approval rating is now going down. but even as he faces criticism for members of his own party, the president is still trying to change the subject. as coronavirus cases soar and his support sinks, president or event into an elaborate photo-op featuring pickup trucks, giant weights symbolizing government regulation, and saying that the

biggest threat facing the country is actually joe biden. >> our entire economy and our very way of life are threatened by biden's plans to transform our nation. >> reporter: the president is eager to move past the pandemic and focus on the economy, even though our latest polls show most americans are more concerned with containing the virus. the trump administration increasingly at odds with health officials is pushing to re-open schools against expert advice. the white house press secretary claims the science is on their side. >> the president has said unmistakably he wants schools to open. when he says open, he means open in full, kids being able to attend each and every day at their school. the science should not stand in the way of this. >> reporter: the president is also facing growing dissent from leaders in his own party. maryland's governor, republican larry hogan penning an op-ed titled "fighting alone" about having to come up with testing strategies and supplies for the state without help from the federal government, writing, it

was clear that waiting around for the president to run the nation's response was hopeless. if we delayed any longer, we'd u citizens to suffering and death. now, the white house was quick to point out that governor hogan has previously said positive things about the president. the white house press secretary calling this, quote, revisionist history by governor hogan. but there is no question that the president's handling of this pandemic is taking a toll politically and now the republican party has announced that they are going to be scaling back plans for their convention next month in florida as the outbreak there grows worse, cecilia. >> okay, mary bruce, thank you so much. and joining us right now is maryland governor larry hogan. governor hogan, thank you so much for joining us. good morning to you. we heard right there, let's just get started with that, the white house press secretary says you are on the record having praised president trump during this pandemic. she is saying what you are now saying is revisionist history. your response? >> well, look, i've always been a straight shooter and when the

president's doing a good job, i say so, and when they're falling short and they're not doing something that the governors desperately need i'm the one that's out there pushing for it and it's not revisionist history at all. you know, "the washington post" ran a few excerpts from my new book, it's 300 and some pages of a book and they took a couple of paragraphs out that were absolutely true, but i lead the discussions every week with the president and/or vice president and all the nation's governors, and i usually start out by thanking the president, vice president and their team for the work that they've done that week or the things they've responded to, but that doesn't mean i don't have the same criticisms about where they fell short. >> among those criticisms you write, quote, instead of listening to his own public health experts, the president was talking and tweeting like a man more concerned about boosting the stock market or his re-election plans. governor, do you still believe the president is acting that way right now? >> well, again, this was an account of back in march and

april at the beginning of the pandemic, and that's when i think we really fell short and fell behind on no national testing and strategy, but i do think that sometimes that the president still ought to focus on listening to people like dr. anthony fauci, listening to the folks at the cdc and really taking the really good advice of some of the people on his team that are working hard and doing a good job rather than just, you know, kind of changing their message and changing the position, and sometimes i think he just reacts -- he's his own worst enemy by coming out and just tweeting something that makes no sense and goes against what everyone else in the administration is saying. >> you are also the president of the national governors association. i'm not telling you anything you don't know. very few republicans have come out to publicly criticize the president as you have or been willing to. what are you hearing privately from some of your peers? do any share the concerns that you've expressed even if they're not saying it publicly? >> well, there's no secret, i think, that there are other republican-elected officials,

both governors and senators and congressmen who have some frustrations, you know, that while they may be supportive of the president they still have some pretty big concerns about some of the shortcomings and some of the things that have gone wrong. not too many people are willing to stand up and speak out. they don't want to be tweeted about. they don't want to be primaried and they don't want to have any wrath of the president coming after them. i'm not too worried about that because i just think it's important to tell the truth and get the facts out there. i'm in a state where i run about 40 points ahead of the president, and the president lost my state to hillary clinton by almost 30 points so not much he can do to me here. >> you do have a mask mandate there in maryland. we are seeing this debate play out around the country, especially in georgia right now. so would a national mask mandate help? is that the way to go? >> if everyone were wearing masks when they're in public or in contact, the virus cannot spread, and it would be the most effective thing. i am encouraged and it's worked effectively in our state. our economy is nearly fully

open. 98% of our businesses are able to open and operate safely and it's because people are listening to the advice. they're social distancing, they're wearing masks and that's the way to get the economy back on track and it's like, you know, no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service. and people feel safer and they feel more able to go out and get back to their normal lives and spend money in the economy which we desperately need as well. >> governor hogan, final question. you did not vote for president trump in 2016 and you have called this election in 2020 a difficult choice. who are you voting for? >> i'm the chair of the national governors association. i'm not going to get too involved in politics right now. i'm going to have to make that decision between now and november. >> governor hogan, have a good day. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> his perspective is so important, because he really has a pulse in what governors around the country are saying, and he said he is hearing from them. they are not happy and they need the help. >> absolutely. >> yeah. >> all right, thank you, cecilia. we're going to turn now to

the latest on the race for a covid vaccine and those accusations of spying. the u.s., uk and canada accusing russian hackers of trying to steal data from vaccine trials. kaylee hartung has the latest. >> reporter: as the world races to find a coronavirus vaccine, american, canadian and british governments are accusing russia of spying on vaccine researchers. >> i think that's pretty poor. i think it needs calling out and the world should know. >> reporter: the nsa identifying the espionage group suspected of having ties tot kremlin's intelligence services as cozy bear, saying they tried to hack pharmaceutical companies and other researchers working on a covid vaccine. >> russia has neither the capacity or money to spend on developing vaccines, and looking to steal their way to first place. >> reporter: the kremlin denies the allegations but whoever may be behind the attempted hack, the motive is likely about more than saving lives. >> russia not only can derive benefit economically by speeding up their own development of a vaccine but they can also disrupt our efforts to develop a

vaccine and that could have dramatic implications on the public health and security of the united states. >> reporter: more than 100 different vaccines are being tested at research facilities around the world. more than 20 already advancing to human testing. most promising so far, trials from oxford and moderna expected now to enter phase 3 of testing. >> these are the pivotal and the definitive studies that show whether or not that the vaccines are both effective at preventing covid-19. i think there's a very good likelihood we'll have several different covid-19 vaccines by next year. >> reporter: and that espionage group known as cozy bear, that's the same group believed to be behind the hacking of the democratic party servers in the 2016 election. they denied involvement there and so did the kremlin. michael. >> all right, thank you so much, kaylee. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning. next, that new trouble for washington's nfl team. the women coming forward with sexual harassment allegations.

you guys may remember a few years ago when "the brady bunch" house went on the market. it was a huge deal and now this fher ic ♪ thank you for being a friend . you can own "the golden girls" house and a little trivia, it's not in miami. the home is actually in brentwood, california. it is the first time it's ever been on the market since it was built in 1955. the producers spotted it when they were shooting the first season of "the golden girls" in 1985. they thought the home belonging to david and margaret berry had the same lush landscape and look of a florida house and paid them to use it for exteriors that first year. they then built an exact replica on a studio lot. well, today the four-bedroomm the one we know and love on the show but still really cute.

there's no lanai, but there's a wraparound porch and vaulted ceilings, there's an awesome tricolor kitchen perfect for late cheesecake binges. if you're wondering what the girls would think about this, we found a clip of blanche devereaux from a show back in 1989 saying this. >> i'm talking about selling the house. i just don't know if it's the right thing to do. >> what do you mean? would you seriously consider selling the house? >> well, no, i mean i don't think so. you have to admit this is loofn frankly, more than i think the house is worth. >> what is it worth? the house is currently on the market for $2.99 million. but, guys, remember when "the brady bunch" house went on the market they were asking $1.8 million. it is far away in california. well, that ended up selling for nearly double. ultimately selling to hgtv for $3.5 million. so if you're interested, all of you lovers of "the golden girls"

in your mortgage rate, the total cost of the home to you goes down about 10%, cecilia. >> you say, though, this smite sound tempting but not everyone -- might sound tempting, but not everyone should run and try to buy this house? >> reporter: very important to consider here. first of all, the same things apply no matter what time it is. you have to have a secure job. you want to make sure those mortgage payments, those monthly mortgage payments are below 28% of your monthly income and finally, you want to know that you're planning to stay in that home for at least five or more years and keep in mind, this is a very uncertain period as far as unemployment, we have record unemployment in this country. there are a lot of questions about the school systems and that's a reason a lot of people go out and buy a home in the first place and taxes are also a big thing and in many places those might be going up in the future, cecilia. >> so much uncertainty right now. okay, but when it comes to refinancing who should go there? >> reporter: as a rule of thumb

you want to make sure you can save at least 0.75% to 1% of that mortgage rate and be sure that you look and understand the fees because those can creep up on you and make it not worth your while. cecilia. >> rebecca jarvis, you always have the best advice. thanks. tom, over to you. >> a lot of great tips there. now a look at tonight's "20/20" digging into a racially motivated cold case cracked after decades. a young black man was murdered in georgia in the '80s and it would take years for his loved ones to finally find justice. deborah roberts joins us now with much more. deborah, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tom. it was a gruesome murder that rattled griffin, georgia, when it happened and worse for the family. no arrests. a small southern town with a history of racial bias some feared they'd never get answers until new investigators took a closer look at this old case. for decades it was a mystery in this small georgia town. who killed tim coggins? olfo murdered in 1983.

it would take his family 35 years to get answers. >> and when he was brutally murdered, how did that affect the family? how did that affect you. >> well, for me it was terrible. i mean even to this day it still affects me to this day right now. >> reporter: tim's body was found with seven stab wounds and the sign of a confederate flag etched into his chest. those close to him suspected his murder had everything to do with the color of his skin. >> it was tim. this was a smooth guy, a guy that never bothered nobody. always helped somebody. >> reporter: some wondered if his death may have been related to a woman he was dating. a white woman. >> timothy coggins was a young black man back in 1983 who refused to follow societal norms. he was not following the rules of 1983, if you will and you were a klan member or a racist, any of those things would

infuriate you and anger you to the point where timothy coggins became a target. a target that needed to be eliminated. >> reporter: but there were no arrests. just rumors about klansmen and police turning a blind eye. then the case went cold. >> you just feel that you are in a small, racist, south georgia town and nobody really cares about the justice for your family and what had been done to your loved one. >> did that haunt the family, not having those answers? >> absolutely. absolutely. it haunted our family 26, 2016 when sheriff dix said i think we'll re-open the case. >> my motivation to solve the case without a doubt is the fact that it's the right thing to do. >> reporter: in 2017 a new sheriff promises a fresh look at the cold case. his department and the georgia bureau of investigation begin looking for new evidence. and what they find will lead to answers and closure for the coggins family.

[ applause ] >> reporter: after 35 years this case was far from a slam-dunk for prosecutors. tonight on "20/20," we'll take you along on this investigation as they searched for answers and the coggins family, of course, prayed for justice. a really, really compelling story, tom. >> sounds like a powerful show tonight. all right, deborah. thank you. the "20/20" event "in the cold dark night" airs tonight at 9:00, 8:00 central on abc. coming up, we meet watson an kiko. you see them here, two golden retrievers, they are our pets of the week. stay with us. retrievers, they are our pets of the week. stay with us.

and got nothing done. so hooked. but we finished this thing and i want to come to work and talk to all my friends go this and everybody has seen it and no one wants to talk about it because it was on the air like i don't even know how many years ago so if you haven't seen it like my husband and i, it is actually the best show on television. so good. although it's not on tv anymore. >> i agree. i think the best ever, top three for me. such a great, great show. >> third time is a charm. i agree. best show ever. ten years -- it's been ten years. >> you guys want to talk about it? great. call me this weekend. >> bravery for admitting you haven't seen it and it's fina enying a good album. want you guys to listen to this. check it out. ♪ shake it up do you like the way i dance do you like the way i move ♪ >> the song is from pop smoke. the rapper's debut album "shoot for the stars, aim for the moon"

touring and, yeah, so i think it's probably my most personal album, but it's also the first album i've done that's two different sides.tireth other side is more my collaborations, i can hear one in the background with "slow grenade" so, yeah, that's my kind of fun side, i suppose. but, yeah, i've dressed up for the occasion and it's a great exciting day. >> so you said the album can be broken into two halves. why was it important for you to split it up that way? >> because i released these songs, already released a couple with swae lee and diplo and juice wrld, and i thought it was important to acknowledge that side. i think certainly in the states i think people hear my voice all the time apparently i'm on the radio sometimes, and don't necessarily know me but the other side is kind of telling my story so that, you know, it's like a nice kind of thing to go

doing my thing as a pop writer, and i think it was important for me to have both sides next to each other this time. >> we know the fans are happy that this album is out and we want to thank you for joining us so much this morning. we'll get right to your performances now. >> this is the moment we have been waiting for. here we go, guys, ellie goulding performing "slow grenade." ♪ ♪ help me, my god, this got messy, least i got the best seat ♪ ♪ 'cause we put on one hell of a show, waiting, i just keep on waiting ♪ ♪ for the final curtain 'cause i just can't let go of your love ♪ ♪ ooh, know my dark side, ooh ♪ ♪ can't beat the taste of the
