On Tuesday night, the Toronto Sun posted a six-minute audio file of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford talking to patrons at Sullie Gorman’s bar, near his mother's home in Etobicoke.

The audio appears to have been recorded by a patron at the bar and appears to be edited in a number of places. Below is a transcript of that audio.

WARNING: This transcript includes extremely offensive language.

ROB FORD: [They] put this fucking flag up, ahead of our Canadian flag. I said, no, that’s bullshit. Bullshit. They went to Queen’s Park, they said “no way.” Tim Hudak comes out and says “yeah I agree with all the gays.” That’s it. I lost my conservative value on the ...

UNKNOWN MALE VOICE: You went to Queen’s Park with him. You’re the mayor; you actually went to Queens Park with him.

FORD: No, they went; the, the gay organization went to Queen’s Park and they’re on the stands with him. So at Queen’s Park you have to have every member to vote for ‘em.

UNKNOWN MALE VOICE: Of course. I thought you were the one who ...

FORD: No, no, and Tim says ‘you know what?’ That’s right. I think it’s kind of—Right there, he lost my vote. I don’t know what the fu—. I can’t vote Liberal, because I don’t like what Wynne’s doing. Not because she’s gay, I just don’t like the corruption. NDP; I’m just not left wing. I am like Tim Hudak but I can’t—I won’t put a sign up on his lawn, I won’t give him any money, I might have to vote Green, I don’t know what the fuck I’m gonna vote right now. I’ve gotta vote something.

UNKNOWN MALE VOICE: See, that’s incredible ...

ROB FORD: But I am absolutely going to vote. I’m probably going to vote green cause the green guy didn’t say a fucking word.

UNKNOWN MALE VOICE: But you’re a business guy. You have business, you have a successful business. How could you vote for anything but ... ?

FORD: No, no, I don’t mind. Listen, I don’t mind … As long as they vote, I’d rather them vote against me than not vote at all. I’d rather lose to Olivia Chow than lose to anyone, man, because you know what? [The city is] going to get fucked so bad, they’re going to say ‘thank you.’ Nah, I’m not coming back. Once I’m done, I’m done. I’m going to California.

UNKNOWN MALE VOICE: How about Karen Stintz?

FORD: I’d like to fucking jam her but she don’t want it. I can’t talk like this anymore ... I’m so sorry, I forgot there was a woman in the house.

FORD: Guys think I’m carrying an ... There’s no envelope, there’s no secret service. I’m him. I’m him. I don’t, there’s no secret service, I’m him. He just thinks he’s secret service … I’m not a normal mayor. You know what? I am not the normal mayor. I’m not the normal mayor.
