safety, but the measure serves another purpose, too. >> you cannot sell, cannot manufacture, you cannot transfer these illegal weapons of war and mass destruction in the state of california, and if you do, there are 40 million people that can collect $10,000 from you and attorney fees for engaging in that illegal activity. >> reporter: the law is modelled after one in texas that allows people to sue those who provide or assist in abortions amid the state's abortion ban. california senate bill 1327 could set in motion another legal battle, and it seems n newsom hopes it does. >> there is no principled way -- let me make in crystal clear -- there is no principled way the united states supreme court can overturn this law and uphold the right for texas to continue to move forward with sb-8. >> reporter: the aclu had sharp criticism for newsom, creating a bounty system to encourage
6:11 am
lawsuits, similar to texas. quote, there is no way to take advantage of the flawed logic of the texas law, no worthy metoti, and no permissible goal cou dan our constitutional structure. but newsom insists it's time to be aggressive. >> it's time to put them on the defense. we're sick and tired of being on the defense in this movement. it's time to put them on the defense. >> reporter: newsom is taking his fight to the national stage, running ads in texas and florida, where he called out both states' republican governors, fueling speculation the governor could have his sight on a presidential run. >> people could easily interpret his actions as a presidential move in light of the unpopularity of the president, in light of issues like inflation and gas. gavin newsom sees that the president has covid. again, the perfect storm would have to happen, but gavin newsom is preparing himself for the
