It should be noted that 432hz is one note, A, when you're playing a song how many times do you hit an A

You should buy a piano and sit there and press A and then A#(A sharp/B flat) over and over again.
Then you will understand that both notes are important and that's why they exist on the piano.
The first song starts in A and the second one starts in A sharp/B flat...aka A#

Yes you are correct.
My point is that only one note(A) on an instrument would be at 432hz. All the rest would be relatively pitched.

No, you are wrong, sorry.
Both examples start in A#, but the first one is tuned down 8hz. The difference between semitones is approx 26hz, not 8hz. So that means the de-tuning is only 1/3 of a semitone.
And just for those who are interested, it's the third note in the piece which is the 'A' .
In almost all musical cultures, pitches are named not by their actual frequencies, but as general categories of frequencies in relationship to other frequencies, all a power of 2 apart. For example, A is the name given to the pitch on the piano or clarinet with a frequency of 440 Hz as well as 55 Hz, 110 Hz, 220 Hz, 880 Hz, 1760 Hz, and so on. The important thing is the ratio between the frequencies, not the distance; for example, 55 Hz to 110 Hz is an octave that happens to span 55 Hz, yet 50 Hz to 100 Hz is also an octave, even though it only covers 50 Hz. But if an orchestra tunes to a different A (as most do nowadays, for example, to middle A = 441 Hz or 442 Hz to sound higher and brighter), those frequencies will all change to be multiples/divisors of the new absolute A.

I think you misunderstand because you're missing the irony. It's not logic, it's sarcasm. The smilies kind of give it away too.
Hope that helps.
