I think it just means "There is nothing to say about it" but the whole sentence doesn't make much sense to me.

It would help, if you were to provide more context, such as the surrounding sentences!

What is it, specifically, that seems confusing? Perhaps a different sentence would make it clearer? Following the instruction to "Shut up!" gives us nothing at all to say. Is the phrase still unclear in that context?
