Rand Paul has again stepped into controversy over a contentious interview with a prominent female television correspondent who he said was conducting the interview in an unfair way.

In an interview with the TODAY Show, Paul sparred with anchor Savannah Guthrie, instructing her to "let me explain instead of talking over me, OK?"

The clash came as Guthrie noted Paul's shifting positions on the threat caused by Iran and America's role in doling out foreign aid to countries including Israel.

Here's a transcript of that exchange:

GUTHRIE: You have had views in the past on foreign policy that are somewhat unorthodox, but you seem to have changed over the years. You once said Iran was not a threat, now you say it is. You once proposed ending foreign aid to Israel; you now support it, at least for the time being. And you once offered to drastically cut...

PAUL: No , before we go -

GUTHRIE: Well wait, wait, wait.

[CROSSTALK]

GUTHRIE: So I just wonder if you've mellowed out.

PAUL: Yeah, why don't we let me explain instead of talking over me, OK? Before we go through a litany of things you say I've changed on, why don't you ask me a question: Have I changed my opinion?
