Trevor Noah Takes on Flint Water Crisis: ‘If the Water’s Browner Than Me, I Don’t Drink It’ <br /> <br />While most in the political world eyed the Republican debate on Fox Business, Trevor Noah — perhaps nursing a bit of hangover after his drinking escapades with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul — hit on the devastating water crisis in the city of Flint, Michigan. Many people have expressed national outrage after officials found toxic levels of lead in the drinking water there. <br /> <br />“I have a very simple rule in rule,” began Noah. “If the water’s brown than me, I don’t drink it.” <br /> <br /> <br />After the reveal that the terrible situation could have been avoided by the city of Flint for only $100 per day (channeling a proper water source rather than cutting corners), Noah knew that he had to ask for help. He continued, “A hundred dollars a day? Why didn’t you say something? I want to call out to all my people in Africa right now watching The Daily Show. Because my friends: for only a hundred dollars a day, we can save a village in America and get these people drinking the water that they so badly need.” <br /> <br />The proposed solution from the Daily Show host is not a lot of money at all in the scheme of things, or as he points out — “Just the price of five cups of coffee in New York!” <br /> <br />Watch the above video from Comedy Central.
