New master cylinder, not pumping fluid while trying to bleed

I replaced my master cylinder today, and replaced all the bleeder screws with Russell Speed Bleeders. I topped off the master cylinder reservoir and tried pumping the brakes with the rear passenger bleeder open, nothing came out, no air or fluid. I tried opening all the bleeders and pumping away on the brake pedal, still nothing out of any of the bleeders after a few minutes. The level in the reservoir doesn't seem to be going down.
