10:15 AM -- From a speech by Rudy Giuliani, as reported in The New York Times of March 20, 1994 (no, not 1984):

  • 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.

"Arbeit Macht Frei!" he did not add.

A nod to Garry Trudeau, who uncovered this Newspeak gem.
