Android : Date formatting is not formatting correctly

I can't figure out why this is returning Wed Jul 02 18:21:27 CDT 2014 instead of 07/02/14 6:21 pm

public void setPubDate(String pubDate) {

    SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z", Locale.ENGLISH);
    long x = dateFormat.parse(pubDate).getTime();
    Date date = new Date(x);
    SimpleDateFormat newFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy H:mm aa");
    newFormat.format(dateFormat.parse(pubDate));
    this.pubDate = date;

}
