Donald Trump got word from his security detail in Cedar Rapids on Monday that there could be someone in the audience with tomatoes — so Trump reportedly decided to go ahead and take precautions.

"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them," Trump urged his supporters. Were anyone to feel concern about being prosecuted for assault in such a scenario, Trump reassured that, "I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees."

Chelsea Clinton was on Monday's Late Show to talk about her new children's book, She Persisted Around the World, but of course that's not where Stephen Colbert began the conversation. "Now, your family has a particularly unique relationship emotionally to the fact that Donald Trump is president of the United States," he said. "Stephen, I think that a lot of us have pretty unique emotional relationships to the fact that Donald Trump is president," Clinton genially fired back.

Colbert asked what the Clinton family does to cope with Trump, what kind of conversations they have, and Clinton talked about policy and candidates. "Unfortunately, this administration is kind of the collision of cruelty and incompetence," she said at the end of a lengthy answer. "Does your entire family speak in paragraphs?" Colbert asked, practically begging her to show some anger. She declined.

"There has been some criticism of Ivanka Trump recently, of her role in the White House, or whether she should have a role in the White House," Colbert said. "You were 20 when your father left office, but certainly you understand what it's like to be the child of the president. Were you asked to fix Middle East peace at any point?" Clinton said she was mostly asked about her homework, and when Colbert pressed, she said she thinks Ivanka Trump is fair game for criticism regarding her decisions or President Trump's policies, as with his other employees. Colbert asked if Clinton and Ivanka are still friends. They were friends, she said, but "I haven't spoken to her in a long time," and policy has definitely clouded their friendship. Watch below.

For some reason, Sam Nunberg, a former adviser to President Trump's campaign, decided to immolate on cable news Monday afternoon, appearing multiple times on MSNBC, CNN, and NY1, and conducting phone interviews with news organizations. Among other jaw-dropping statements, Nunberg said Trump knew about a meeting with Kremlin-linked lawyers, lobbed personal attacks at White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and taunted Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who has subpoenaed his correspondence with several people in Trump' s inner circle. He certainly got everyone's attention.

By Monday night, Nunberg was telling The Associated Press he is probably "going to end up cooperating with" Mueller's investigators after all, but after his "wild, unscripted, and unrestrained antics," ABC News' Kendis Gibson said Tuesday morning, "Nunberg's mental stability is being called into question, and some are saying that he was actually just drunk last night."

Among those suggestion that Nunberg was impaired was a "Trump ally" who told CNN's Erin Burnett that Nunberg was "drunk or off his meds," in her paraphrasing.

Burnett brought it up again. "Talking to you, I have smelled alcohol on your breath," she told Nunberg. "Well, I've not had a drink," he replied. "You haven't had a drink? Because it is the talk out there," she pressed. "My answer is no, I have not," Nunberg said. "No. Besides my meds. Anti-depressants. Is that okay?"

The meds are okay, but as Nunberg suggested, he may need to find a new lawyer. Peter Weber

On Monday night, a very tired Jimmy Kimmel pulled back the curtain a bit on Sunday night's Academy Awards, which he hosted, explaining that his crew built the hot-dog cannon especially for the Oscars, good-naturedly griping about his mother embarrassing him by passing out Oscar-shaped cookies to A-listers during the award ceremony, and detailing the lengths his legal team went to in order to ensure they gave a jet ski to the award recipient with the shortest speech. There was some real drama at the after-party, too, he explained.

Best actress winner "Frances McDormand was robbed last night, but not in the usual way people are robbed at the Oscars," Kimmel said. After she won, "she gave an incredible speech, and then at the after-party, she put her Oscar down on the table and someone snatched it. And after the guy snatched it, he did the smart thing: He immediately made a video of himself and posted it on Facebook. ... So then he was arrested for grand theft, which is a felony. And not only is that dumb, it's dangerous. I would rather steal from Mike Tyson than Frances McDormand — she'll beat your ass! And what's the long-term plan when you steal an Oscar? Hope your friends didn't notice you didn't win Best Actress in 2018?" Watch below. Peter Weber

Last week, Stephen Colbert flew down to Washington with his own "memo" on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), and he had some fun at Nunes' expense with the committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff, and even Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). "As much fun as we had down there, ultimately what we wanted was for Devin Nunes to respond to us, a comedy show," Colbert said on Monday's Late Show. "But say what you want about the guy, he's not that dumb — is what I thought." He played a clip of Nunes complaining about Colbert on Fox News. "He took the bait!" Colbert said.

Nunes told Fox News that Colbert is part of the "danger" the left poses to America, and when asked if Colbert even tried to contact him for the show, he replied, "Not that I know of." Colbert had the footage. "Either your staff didn't tell you that I charged into your office, or you're not telling the truth," he said. "So is Devin Nunes a liar? Not that I know of." Colbert played some outtakes from his interview with Schiff, then summarized Nunes' view of the situation: President Trump, who openly asked Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails, is good for America; Stephen Colbert, a comedian, is "a danger."

In the full video from Friday, Colbert failed to get much information about the Russia investigation from Schiff or the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), but he at least made Schiff laugh. Warner? "I mean this as a compliment — you look dead inside," Colbert told the senator. "I appreciate that," Warner said. Watch below.

On Sunday, Florida's Citrus County School District suspended Dayanna Volitich, a first-year social studies teacher at Crystal River Middle School who hosts a podcast that espouses white nationalist views. Voltich, who used the pseudonym "Tiana Dalichov" on her Unapologetic podcast, talked about spreading her white supremacist views in class while putting on a "dog-and-pony show" for school administrators to avoid detection. HuffPost connected Dalichov with Volitich last week, and the school district cited a "concerning podcast" in announcing that Volitich was being "removed from the classroom" pending an investigation.

After HuffPost started inquiring about Volitich, 25, last Friday, "Dalichov" said on Twitter that she "might disappear for a while," then took down her podcasts and deleted her Twitter account. In podcasts and screenshots saved by HuffPost, Dalichov says the "Jewish Question" is "incredibly complex," while praising the work of anti-Semitic author Kevin MacDonald — the "Jewish Question" is "an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jewish people have undue influence over the media, banking and politics that must somehow be addressed," HuffPost explains — pushes for Muslims to be eradicated, argues that "science" shows some races have higher IQs, and defends neo-Nazis and white supremacists like Arthur Jones and David Duke.

In a statement released by her lawyer, Volititch confirms that she is Dalichov but says she merely "employed political satire and exaggeration, mainly to the end of attracting listeners and followers," and denies being a white nationalist or white supremacist, or teaching those views in class.

The U.S. military has wrapped up its investigation into the Oct. 4 raid in Niger that ended with four U.S. service members and four Nigerien troops dead after an ambush by Islamic State-linked fighters. The investigation found that the Army Special Forces team did not have the required approval for the mission from senior commanders in Chad or Germany, meaning U.S. commanders could not accurately assess its risk, several U.S. officials tell The Associated Press. The report will not identify a single point of failure in the mission, and it doesn't blame the mission's failure on the lack of authorization, the officials say.

Initially, the mission was reported to have shifted from a meeting with local Nigerien leaders to providing assistance to a raid searching for militant Doundou Chefou, but officials now say the Special Forces team was targeting Chefou from the start. The U.S. and Nigerien forces were ambushed by ISIS fighters after they stopped in Tongo Tongo for water and supplies, and the report said there is no compelling evidence that anyone in the village tipped off the ISIS fighters to the Americans' presence in the area. The head of U.S. Africa Command, Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, is expected to recommend greater oversight of missions in Africa. He testifies before a House committee on Tuesday. Peter Weber

A charity started to honor the memory of Philando Castile, the Minnesota man killed in an officer-involved shooting in 2016, hit a major milestone last week.

The goal of Philando Feeds the Children was to raise $5,000 to pay off the school lunch debts at JJ Hill Montessori, the school Castile worked at as a nutrition supervisor. The money kept coming in, and the charity was able to drop off a check for more than $100,000 that erases the lunch debt at all 56 public schools in St. Paul. "I feel really amazed by that," Pam Fergus, the charity's founder, told Fox 9. "It's really fun to write a check that doesn't come out of your own account and pays off something so wonderful."

Fergus, a professor at Metro State University, had students in her diversity and ethics class help with the charity. Castile often gave children at his school the money necessary to have a hot meal at lunch, and Metro State student Heather Moenck told Fox 9 she enjoyed "being able to do something that would resonate, have a lasting impact on the kids [Castile] had an impact on," adding, "I think everyone can agree kids need to be fed and that this is important."
