I hear he's anti-Zionist.

According to Wiki he is a Skverer Chossid which is probably moderately antizionist.
According to forward.com, he favors a two state solution.
The same website says that he has allied with Nation of Islam and British Nazis.

What a Putz.

I am about half way through the long interview and the Rabbi seems like a smart guy. Unfortunately the guy interviewing him hardly ever lets him complete a thought so it is hard to fully know what he believes in thanks to the idiotic interviewer!

Unimpressed. Particularly at the end, where Rabbi showed himself as anti-Zionist and being cognizant of the moral issues pertaining to the plight of the "palestinians"  ::)

I have read things he has written, and listened to him, 
note- there are those here that are anti satmar, he is too deep for them to understand.
note- he is not satmar.

He has sympathy with satmar(including the neturei karta that don't stand with terrorists) and sympathy with religious zionism.. But less so with non zionists. He considers non zionism, which is the classic charedi position, as an inconsistent or even immoral position.

He himself is agnostic as to which position - religious zionism or religious anti zionism, is the correct one.

He is very sympathetic to palestinian plight, (and sympathetic to religious zionists that with deep regret, want to remove arabs so that israel can survive).. 

He would like a 2 state solution..   So certainly not in agreement with him on that. 

But he makes some strikingly good analysis of ideologies.. Infact a review of one of his books on politics calls that analytical ability he has nothing short of genius.

He is not racist, but he is racialist..

He believes white europeans should be allowed to protect their heritage.. and marry in.. Similarly, for blacks.

Besides the classic channer interview on youtube,
There is a new video clip that was put up of him, very short.
