It sounds as though you are really upset with his behavior during the session -which I completely understand. My T has been pretty quick on the draw sometimes with me as well and it just begins to feel like a shouting match during the session.
But it sounds as though he was disrespectful from the start (being late) and that probably set the stage for a crappy session for you both.
It takes courage, but you just gotta let them know exactly how what they are saying makes you feel.
I've told mine to shut up, called him neddy know it all, told him his smuggity pants seem a bit tight today and - my all time favorite - "this barrage of yours i'm sure is very eloquent and lovely - timely even. Is it helping you? Because I'm getting nothing but static here".
If nothing else it will get his attention and usually we both end up laughing.
He may be your T, but you should not be made to feel disrespected by him or anyone else.
I would call him as quickly as I could and get this out in the open.
At least give him the chance to apologize (but I would still let him have it).
