The California-based conservative radio host announced his presidential bid on Thursday.
Speaking to Carlson on Thursday, Elder said he had been inspired to run for president by his family's military service.
"My father was a World War II vet. He served on the island of Guam, he was a marine. My older brother, late older brother, Kirk, was in the Navy during the Vietnam era. My little brother Dennis actually served in Vietnam in the Army," Elder said. "I'm the only one who didn't serve, and I don't feel good about that. I feel I have a moral, religious and a patriotic duty to give back to a country that's been so good to my family and me. And that is why I am doing this."
