Your pattern does not correspond to the input string at all... It is not surprising that it does not work. This would probably work better:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy",
Locale.ENGLISH);
Then to print with your required format you need a second SimpleDateFormat:
Date parsedDate = sdf.parse(date);
SimpleDateFormat print = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM d, yyyy HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(print.format(parsedDate));
