New master cylinder and front pads= no driving side braking

Like I said.I started to bleed my front driver side brake and nothing happened. You could pump the pedal and no fluid would come out and no air gets sucked in.I took the flex line off of the caliper and the same thing.Do I need a new hard line???Is there something plugging it maybe?.Please help, I need be driving in about 1 hour.

Replace the brake hose first.
