Well that makes things nice and clear
Directly (I mean really directly) stolen from Sullivan.
"We look upon authority too often and focus over and over again, for 30 or 40 or 50 years, as if there is something wrong with authority. We see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do,"
Rudy Giuliani, March 1994.

no subject
It's really amazingly transparent. He doesn't try to hide his meaning at all (aside from the using the word freedom).
